This has to be our favourite product in this category because it does exactly what it says it does, is a high quality package and is priced reasonably.
Other similar products can come in at multiples of the cost of this product which costs around €500 for the whole package. So what's in the package? The calibration microphone (or reference microphone as they call it) which you will need to calibrate your room by sending signals into the software which then does the work. The software, which goes way beyond simply calibrating the room.
The software is a really slick interface and although it is feature rich is very well presented so everything seems really obvious. You won't need anything more than a quick look at the manual and you can get stuck straight in.
With a frequency range of 20 - 20,000 Hz this system can really capture anything a human (and some dogs) can hear. We have used to set up a room and found that the result is shocking. The product really nailed the room for us and then suggested bang on adjustments for calibration.
Since the software can be used as a plugin in your DAW it is really easy to keep an eye on how your room is performing and what Sonarworks think your adjustments should be. This saves a huge amount of time in the mix stage as it lets you know straight away what you are producing so you can get things sorted before you spend hours and hours perfecting a sound.
A real plus of this product is that despite performing an essential function at the beginning of your production journey, during your work but also, after you've finished, well, when you think you've finished. You can test your Pre-Master or Master in all sorts of scenarios from in-ear headphones, car stereos, nightclubs and beyond. Its just another failsafe to make sure what you are putting out is going to be good enough everywhere it is listened to in the future, so you sound your best.
