What if the secret to better mixes isn’t fixing your room, but making room correction completely invisible?
Every audio company tells you the same story: your room is broken, here’s how to fix it. But the problem in 2025 is that room correction has always demanded your attention in some form, whether through software management, CPU monitoring, or workflow considerations.
Think about it: the best technology in your life is the technology you never think about. Your smartphone doesn’t make you manage its processor load. Your car doesn’t require you to monitor its fuel injection system. Yet until now, even the most advanced room correction required some level of active management.
What if room correction could simply exist, like the electrical power in your studio – always there, never thought about, completely reliable?
The Next Evolution: Intelligence Without Interference
Our collaboration with Audient represents the next step in room correction evolution. ORIA Mini takes SoundID Reference intelligence – refined by over 250,000 studios and trusted by more than 70 Grammy-winning engineers – and embeds it into dedicated hardware that operates independently of your computer environment.
This isn’t about replacing software-based room correction, which remains incredibly powerful and flexible for many applications. This is about offering a new option: room correction that exists at the hardware level, providing an always-on foundation that works alongside your existing workflow without any management overhead.
The Unique Value of Hardware Integration
For home producers and beatmakers, this means room correction that works like your audio interface; always there, never requiring attention, completely reliable. SoundID Reference technology packed in ORIA Mini delivers near-instant response and eliminates CPU load, ensuring smooth, reliable mixing that stays uninterrupted around the clock.
For mixing engineers and producers, this represents an additional layer of reliability: hardware-based correction that operates regardless of software state, session complexity, or system load. Your room stays corrected whether you’re mixing in Pro Tools, streaming from Spotify, or playing back references.
For studios and facilities, ORIA Mini provides the hardware reliability that professional environments demand—correction that operates independently of software environments, session recalls, or system updates.
The Intelligence Behind the Hardware
ORIA Mini houses over 10 years of SoundID Reference development; algorithms refined through real-world application across every genre, room type, and professional scenario. Our patented digital signal processing technology addresses frequency response irregularities, room mode resonances, and speaker-boundary interference while maintaining the phase coherence and spatial accuracy that professional mixing demands.
By implementing this intelligence in dedicated hardware, ORIA Mini eliminates the system dependencies that can affect software-based solutions, while delivering the same acoustic accuracy that has made SoundID Reference the industry standard.
Precision Without Compromise
Each ORIA Mini includes an individually calibrated SoundID Reference measurement microphone with a unique calibration file ensuring ±1dB accuracy across the full frequency spectrum. This precision-matched measurement system enables room correction profiles that address your specific acoustic signature with scientific accuracy, then processes that correction in dedicated hardware that never competes with your computer resources.
Important context: Room correction complements proper acoustic treatment rather than replacing it. Acoustic treatment manages reflections and reverberation, while digital correction neutralizes frequency response irregularities. Both contribute to optimal monitoring environments.
Proven Technology, New Applications
SoundID Reference has achieved market leadership through continuous refinement and professional validation. Since 2021, Sonarworks has strategically expanded market reach through over 12 partnerships, bringing professional-grade acoustic calibration to new user segments and applications. Each partnership addresses specific workflow needs; ORIA Mini serves users who want hardware-based reliability alongside the flexibility of our software solutions.
Practical Economics of Professional Accuracy
ORIA Mini pricing reflects studio economics rather than premium positioning. The Complete Bundle at £379 provides comprehensive room calibration capabilities equivalent to thousands in professional measurement equipment and acoustic consultation. The Hardware-Only configuration at £249 offers professional correction processing for engineers preferring manual calibration approaches.
This represents accessible professional monitoring that transforms any listening environment into a reliable reference, potentially eliminating endless mix revisions and translation testing cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes hardware-based room correction different from software solutions?
Hardware-based correction eliminates CPU overhead, plugin latency, and software reliability concerns. ORIA Mini processes all calibration in a dedicated DSP, providing consistent correction regardless of computer load, software state, or session complexity. This complements rather than replaces software-based solutions, which offer greater flexibility for specific applications.
How does digital room correction relate to acoustic treatment?
Digital correction and acoustic treatment address different acoustic challenges. Acoustic treatment manages room reflections and reverberation times, while digital correction neutralizes frequency response irregularities and provides consistent reference monitoring. Both contribute to optimal mixing environments.
How many calibration profiles can ORIA Mini store and switch between?
ORIA Mini stores up to 4 custom SoundID Reference profiles directly on internal DSP memory, enabling instant switching between calibration targets, room simulations, or translation references without computer interaction or workflow interruption.
Can existing SoundID Reference users integrate ORIA Mini?
Yes. The Add-On Bundle includes the necessary ORIA Mini license extension and individually calibrated measurement microphone, enabling hardware integration for existing software users while maintaining full software functionality.
What distinguishes SoundID Reference from competitive room correction technologies?
Our patented correction algorithms, developed over 10+ years and validated by over 70 Grammy-winning engineers, provide industry-leading accuracy while maintaining phase coherence and preserving spatial information critical for professional mixing decisions.
How quickly can room calibration be achieved?
Using SoundID Reference, room analysis and calibration typically require under 20 minutes. The process measures acoustic response, generates correction profiles, and loads them onto ORIA Mini’s DSP for immediate implementation.
Is ORIA Mini compatible with all audio interfaces and monitor speakers?
Yes. ORIA Mini’s universal design works with any audio interface and speaker combination, supporting both analog TRS and digital S/PDIF connectivity. With digital input, dedicated sub output, and bass management, ORIA Mini integrates seamlessly into any studio (up to 2.1 systems).
What are the complete technical specifications?
ORIA Mini features 32-bit AD/DA conversion, 127dB dynamic range, 24-bit/96kHz audio support, USB 3.0 bus power, and comprehensive I/O including TRS analog inputs/outputs, S/PDIF digital input, and dedicated subwoofer output.
The Next Step in Room Correction Evolution
ORIA Mini represents the evolution of room correction into dedicated hardware, adding a new dimension of reliability and simplicity to the proven accuracy of SoundID Reference. This is room correction that works at the hardware level, providing an always-on foundation that complements your existing workflow.
