SoundID Ref Multichannel with Apollo

Enhance your multichannel monitoring with SoundID Reference for Multichannel integrated directly into Universal Audio’s Apollo X Gen 1 and Gen 2 interfaces. This bundle combines SoundID Reference for Multichannel and the Apollo Monitor Correction Add-on into a single license key. SoundID Reference for Multichannel is a calibration software that delivers consistently accurate studio reference sound on your existing headphones, speakers and multichannel systems. With an applied calibration profile the software sets the frequency response target to be completely flat across all audible frequencies. The frequency response target is designed to emulate neutral-sounding speakers.
