Advanced Speaker Processing
Working with multi-channel speaker setups requires a precisely calibrated room but let’s face it, calibrating your room is a difficult and time consuming process. But what if it didn’t have to be?

All present and correct
ORIA’s Advanced Speaker Processing lets you calibrate your room and create custom onboard calibration Profiles (presets) for any monitoring format from stereo to surround to 9.1.6 immersive setups, making reference checking your mix in different formats a breeze.

● 8-Band EQ
Deal with unwanted acoustic issues and colouration to ensure a flat and consistent translation of your audio.
● Speaker Delay
Make sure audio from every speaker arrives at the mix position precisely at the same time.
● Trim
Adjust the level of every speaker individually to ensure a balanced soundfield.
● Bass Management
Accurately hear ALL of the bass and low end frequencies in your mix with ORIA’s bass management controls, featuring a per channel configurable crossover filter.

Add to that the ability to calibrate your room in one of two ways. Either create a Profile by manually taking room measurements and dialling in the calibration settings or take advantage of upgrading to Sonarworks…

It just (Sonar) works…
We’ve teamed up with room calibration heavyweights Sonarworks to bring you a seamless integration with SoundID Reference letting you accurately measure and calibrate multi-channel setups in less than an hour. With a Sonarworks Reference Microphone and 60 day free trial of SoundID Reference for Multichannel software included, ORIA lets you create custom Sonarworks Profiles for different monitoring formats and target modes, load them into ORIA and take advantage of consistently accurate and low latency immersive audio.
