FAQ

To export your calibration profile, load a profile in the SoundID Reference standalone app, select the export option from the preset menu, select your supported device, and proceed with in-app instructions. For more details visit this guide: Exporting a multichannel calibration profile for supported integration devices
At the moment, system-wide calibration is not supported for multichannel profiles. Although the multichannel calibration profiles can be loaded in the SoundID Reference standalone app for supported device export purposes or applying a target mode before the profile export. The system-wide calibration functionality will come later in 2023, with a free software update.
Yes, third-party mics can be used to measure your multichannel system, however, we are unable to provide third-party mic calibration files, therefore, the measurement may not be as precise. We recommend using SoundID Reference Measurement Microphone for the best results as the microphone profile will include 0°, 30°, and 90° calibration curves.
