Sonarworks SoundID Reference for Speakers & Headphones with mic (Boxed)

A well thought out and useful product that can help you 'understand' the room you are working in. It's results were not as 'impactful' as I thought they would be as ultimately you have to 'get used' to how a room sounds but well worth it.

Sonarworks SoundID Reference for Speakers & Headphones with mic (Boxed)

Fonctionne de façon très intuitive, l'interface est bien faite et les étapes sont didactiques, les instructions sont très claires et les résultats concluants. Toutefois, je trouve qu'il y a trois petits bémols...
- Tout d'abord j'ai dû faire la configuration deux fois car durant le calibrage de mes enceintes (Adam A7V) le micro n'arrivait plus à se repérer dans l'espace. Après 15 minutes, j'ai donc dû tout recommencer à zéro. Maintenant tout fonctionne, mais le preset créé engendre une diminution importante du volume de mes enceintes. Je suis donc obligé de monter le volume de monitoring à chaque fois pour compenser.
- Deuxième chose : la pince fournie avec le micro a un diamètre beaucoup trop petit, elle est donc inutilisable ce qui est étrange.
- Enfin, le son de mes enceintes a certes gagné en clarté (notamment au niveau des basses et du bas médium), mais il est devenu également bien plus équilibré... Alors d'un côté c'est bien... Mais est-ce que l'on a vraiment envie de rendre ses enceintes de monitoring plus agréables à l'écoute ? Je préfère avoir des enceintes qui sonnent moins 'hi-fi' et qui mettent en valeur les zones critiques d'écoute, plutôt que d'avoir quelque chose qui semble satisfaisant à l'oreille, mais qui risque de "cacher la misère".

Pour conclure : je recommande quand même vivement car il y a des presets pour imiter des NS10, des enceintes de voitures, des petites enceintes bluetooth, etc., et rien que ça, c'est vraiment un gain de temps énorme pour essayer d'avoir une idée du rendu de nos mixes !

Sonarworks SoundID Reference for Speakers & Headphones with mic (Boxed)

Ik gebruik Sound ID voor mijn Senheiser 600 headphone. Werkt perfect. Ik had recent ook galaxybuds 2 Pro gekocht voor dsgelijks gebruik in auto en fiets. Ik kaam oo het idee om dit ook voor deze buds te gebruiken. In de software voor android kan je ook een gehoortest doen. Werkt erg goed. Op deze manier kan ik mijn linkeroor die duudelijk minder is com-enseren. Top!

Sonarworks SoundID Reference for Speakers & Headphones with mic (Boxed)

Mooie aanbieding. De losse software is net zo duur als met microfoon.
Uit het bijgeleverde kalibratieprofiel bleek toch dat de meetmicrofoon wat verloop heeft. (tot 5/6 dB rond 7 kHz) Dus dat lijkt toch wel nuttig ;)
Sonarworks heeft effectief alle kamer eigenaardigheden gecompenseerd. Het geluid is veel strakker en laat de boxen echt veel beter tot hun recht komen. Ook biedt Sonarworks compensatie voor hoofdtelefoons en ook dat scheelt enorm. Wisselen tussen boxen en hoofdtelefoon werkt makkelijk. In het begin was het erg wennen aan het geluid, maar nu kan ik niet anders meer.
Een ander voordeel is dat je met Sonarworks je de headroom kan gebruiken om bijvoorbeeld de bas wat te versterken. Hiermee heb ik de basweergave van Neumann KH 80 van 60 Hz naar 45 Hz gekregen. Zonder hoorbare vervorming. Dankzij de kamermeting kan Sonarworks heel gericht aanpassingen doen. Je ziet goed wat je doet of probeert. Verder zijn er veel opties om profielen en type compensatie in te stellen.

Enige min puntje is dat de VST/Plugin los lijkt te staan van Windows software. Je moet apart profielen instellen/ maken.

Ook overwogen om de MA 1 meetmicrofoon voor de KH 80 te kopen, maar Sonarworks biedt ook ondersteuning voor hoofdtelefoons voor hetzelfde geld. Verder lijken beide oplossingen gelijkwaardig.

Sonarworks SoundID Reference for Speakers & Headphones with mic (Boxed)

Ik heb deze een tijdje geleden besteld, maar had er expres voor gekozen dat hij pas rond mijn verjaardag zou worden afgeleverd. Dit betekent dan wel dat ik geen garantie krijg, maar ik denk niet dat het nodig is. Het instellen van deze software vereist nog wat moeite. Ik had mijn speakers op een vrij hard volume moeten zetten om de metingen uit te kunnen voeren.
Wat wel interessant is, hoe deze software reageert op frequenties die helemaal niet hoorbaar zijn. Die kun je niet boosten, want dat maakt geen verschil. Wat deze software dan doet is dezelfde frequentie op de andere speaker wegfilteren zodat je nog wel de perfecte stereo image hebt.
Ik denk zeker dat deze investering het waard is. Alleen moet je er wel verstand van hebben. Het is even wennen voor mij omdat mijn speakers nogal veel high end hadden, maar ik denk dat ik het op lange termijn wel dankbaarder ben.
