Monitors / Monitoring

DSP‑equipped loudspeakers are only as good as the software that configures the DSP — in Genelec’s case, their GLM package.

Sonarworks’ SoundID has improved stereo monitoring in countless studios worldwide. The new multi‑channel version is designed to do the same for immersive audio.

It’s useful to be able to work on headphones even when mixing immersive audio. Does Genelec’s Aural ID system make this easier?

Embody’s Immerse Virtual Studio aims to replicate loudspeaker listening on headphones — and the newest variant does so in up to 7.1.6 surround.

So far, monitor and headphone calibration systems have targeted music makers exclusively. Sonarworks’ SoundID aims to solve the problem of mix translation from the consumer end too.
