Making its debut at this week’s AES convention in New York, Merging Technologies MERGING + Anubis firmware update brings SoundID Reference multichannel preset for systems up to 9.1.6 configuration featuring EQ resources, stereo correction and much more. Here’s more from the press release…
SoundID Reference is a speaker and Headphones calibration software from Sonarworks that removes unwanted coloration and delivers accurate studio reference sound. MERGING+Anubis is the first interface and monitoring controller on the market to be able to seamlessly import SoundID Reference multichannel preset and run it onto any speaker set, making it the perfect solution for multichannel setups up to 9.1.6.Dolby Atmos rooms.
Anubis offers one of the most powerful and flexible monitoring engines for Atmos workflows available to any DAW. Combined with HAPI MKII and/or Horus, integration into any studio setup is possible.
Aside from the SoundID Reference multichannel addition, other benefits from this architecture include:
EQ resources have been upgraded from only 84 bands to 336 bands, making it easy to calibrate the most challenging Dolby Atmos Room. This is free of charge to all Anubis owners.
SoundID Reference stereo correction (Headphones and speakers) got faster, making it the go to solution for tracking. The added latency is now less than 0.35ms at 48kHz, less than 0.18ms at 96kHz, and virtually zero at 192kHz and DXD.
Many more SoundID Reference headphone calibration profiles can now be run by Anubis, simultaneously boosting to new heights Anubis's already advanced headphone cue capabilities.
