Turn headphones into a studio

The Sonarworks SoundID Reference Virtual Monitoring Pro system enables any set of over-ear headphones to accurately reproduce real monitoring environments. The technology is based on a personalised room simulation, created from high‑resolution measurements taken with the binaural USB in‑ear microphones that are an integral part of the package. The software then captures not only the studio's acoustic characteristics but even the shape of the listener's ears, generating a virtual monitoring profile that precisely recreates the studio's unique, familiar three-dimensional sound – through a set of headphones. In addition, the software can also reproduce realistically modelled stereo environments, as well as simulations of consumer audio settings like cars and other devices. All this translates into a consistent reference for anyone who wants to work with a reliable sound setup, regardless of their location or the time of day.

For any over-ear headphones

The Sonarworks SoundID Reference Virtual Monitoring Pro package combines dedicated software with Sonarworks' binaural microphones, which are used to capture the unique interaction between the studio's acoustics and the headphone's characteristics. Based on these measurements, a highly realistic virtual monitoring profile is created. Measurements are taken at 44.1kHz, while playback supports sampling rates from 44.1 to 196kHz. The software is compatible with macOS and Windows, and can run as a stand‑alone application or as a plugin with the AAX, AU, and VST2 formats. In plugin form, the system operates with virtually no latency, while system‑wide latency remains under 30ms. Unlike SoundID Reference for Headphones, Virtual Monitoring Pro can be used with any over‑ear headphones.

Studio sound everywhere

Sonarworks SoundID Reference Virtual Monitoring Pro is aimed at mixing engineers, producers, musicians, and content creators who need reliable reference-grade audio even when working outside their usual studio environment. Anyone switching between a main studio, a home setup, and a series of different rooms will benefit from way the system reliably reproduces an identical sound profile, which helps smooth the transition between these different locations and thus facilitates accurate, reproducible decision-making. There are plenty of producers who mostly work at night, or while they're travelling – and plenty more who just need to be considerate of their neighbours and housemates: Virtual Monitoring PRO gives them all the ability to access their favourite studio's sound at any time.

About Sonarworks

Sonarworks has its headquarters in Riga, Latvia, and was founded in 2012. The company gained an international reputation with its renowned Reference 4 calibration software for headphones and monitor speakers, and more than 100,000 recording studios and renowned sound engineers around the world now place their trust in innovative technologies from Sonarworks. Reference 4 has since been superseded by the SoundID Reference software, which in addition to a range of other new features can also be used to calibrate multi-channel speaker systems (Dolby Atmos). Sonarworks is now also active in the consumer electronics sector. SoundID is a mobile and desktop application that utilises professional software technologies to deliver the desired sound at the touch of a button.

It all starts here

The practical workflow starts with room measurement: Users insert the binaural microphones, then a series of test signals is played through the room and the software calculates a virtual monitoring profile. The room's impulse responses – including changes from early reflections, boundary interactions and late‑field reverberation – are converted into a filter reproducing the behaviour of real speakers in that space. A headphone profile is then fine‑tuned to the characteristics of the user: This involves correcting the headphone's own frequency and phase response, and applying a personalised HRTF (Head‑Related Transfer Function) that matches what the user would hear in a physical studio. This complex calibration and correction procedure means that even an average pair of studio headphones will deliver extremely accurate results, making the Virtual Monitoring Pro system a valuble tool even for up-and-coming producers who don't often have the chance to work in a professional studio.
