As you add more speakers into your studio space, their placement and positioning
become increasingly important. You will also have to think about the way your whole
room is acoustically treated now that there are speakers behind and above your
listening position.
The ORIA’s DSP and Sonarworks(™) room calibration tools enable you to get the best
from your speakers but we recommend refining your speaker positions and improving
the sonic absorption and/or diusion solutions in your room to get the best surround
sweet-spot possible and before attempting a calibration.
If you are unsure about speaker placement or acoustic treatment then we strongly
recommend acquiring advice from a qualified acoustician to ensure you are getting
the most from your setup.
Output Calibration
Automatic Calibration -
When you purchase an ORIA you can take advantage of a 60 day free trial version*
of the industry-leading measurement and calibration software SoundID Reference for
Multichannel by Sonarworks(™). This comprehensive tool measures and calibrates
a multichannel setup in less than an hour so you can get up and running (almost)
immediately.
*Once your trial period has expired you will need to purchase a perpetual licence
directly from Sonarworks(™) and re-import your measurements into the ORIA Desktop
App, or calibrate your speaker outputs manually via the Setup Mode. Profiles made
during the free trial period will no longer function once the trial period has ended.
Inside the ORIA box, you’ll find a Sonarworks Reference Microphone and a small card
with details on how to create an account with Sonarworks and download SoundID
Reference for Multichannel.

Once you’ve installed SoundID Reference for Multichannel, you can simply follow the
on screen instructions that will walk you through the measurement process. A full 9.1.6
measurement process will take around 40 mins to an hour to complete.
