SoundID Reference Virtual Monitoring PRO ushers in a new era of headphone mixing. For the first time, the original sound of a room, from professional studios to everyday environments, can be reproduced realistically, accurately and in a fully personalized way on headphones. This is made possible by the new SoundID Binaural In Ear Measurement Microphone, which captures your individual hearing characteristics and the acoustics of your room and translates them into a detailed sound profile within SoundID Reference.

Music creators spend years becoming familiar with the sound of their studio monitors. However, travel, spontaneous sessions or late night mixdowns often make it impossible to work in a familiar environment.
Virtual Monitoring PRO addresses this challenge decisively. The system measures the interaction between your room, your speakers and your hearing, then creates an extremely realistic room simulation. The result is so accurate that many professionals can no longer distinguish between real loudspeakers and virtual playback via headphones.

Whether in a studio, a client’s room or even your car, if you can measure it, you can recreate it.

In addition to your unique room profile, Virtual Monitoring PRO offers an extensive selection of professional simulation rooms and everyday devices:

• 3 studio monitor models: Near-, Mid- and Far-Field
• 7 consumer devices: Smartphone, laptop, TV and more
• 3 car simulations: For realistic translation checks
• Personalized room profiles: From your studio, your second room or any acoustic environment you measure

So you can inspect mixes across all relevant listening situations - without changing rooms.

The heart of the system is the specially developed binaural in-ear microphone, which takes your individual ear shape into account and thus makes the simulation truly personalized.
The high-resolution measurement (20 Hz - 20 kHz) enables

• an authentic, three-dimensional representation of the room
• precise monitoring that feels natural and familiar
• an unprecedented mix translation, because your room sound is reproduced exactly
