Since it has already "built" a virtual 3D monitor space in front of the speakers, I liked that it graphically shows you when the mic is in the correct spot-in both the horizontal and vertical axes before taking a measurement.

Holding the mic, it instructed me to take measurements in each of those locations.

Next, the software GUI instructs you to move the measurement mic to 37 different locations in front, on the sides, behind and also at different heights around the listening position. In addition, the new software has voice feedback when measuring speaker distance and you can revise the measured dimensions more easily in ver 4.1. A readout in inches or centimeters is given-it was accurate to my own measuring tape within 0.1-inches. To do this, the software sends "pings"-high-pitch ticks to each speaker and echo locates them and the listening position in physical space. The Reference 4 Measure software will measure the distance from each speaker to the other and also from the central listening position out front where I sit to mix. You may now use other measurement microphones as well if they have a calibration profile. The new version has revised instructions and the GUI is better with the XREF 20 microphone calibration profile automatically uploaded to the software when you enter the mic ID number. Once I configured my computer's Core Audio and used the software to setup the proper playback volume and the measurement microphone sensitivity, I went about calibrating my pair of Adam 2.5A monitor speakers. Reference 4 Measure Updated Version 4.1.4

#SONARWORKS REFERENCE 4 SYSTEMWIDE IN DAW DRIVER#
Reference 4 consists of four parts: a monitor speaker/room measurement/calibration application called Reference 4.1 Measure, the Reference 4 Plug-in that runs the resultant corrective curve in your DAW's monitor path, the Sonarworks XREF 20 measurement microphone with downloadable calibration file, and lastly Systemwide, a standalone virtual audio driver that also runs the corrective curve for all other audio playing in your computer. Sonarworks also includes a list of correction curves for about 150 models of popular headphone models so you may also correct whatever pair you have as well. With the new Sonarworks SR algorithm the goal is to have a consistent response across all speakers and your headphones with a precision of +/- 0.9dB. The Sonarworks Reference 4 Studio Edition is a convolution-based equalizer system used to measure and develop a corrective response curve for your studio's stereo monitor speakers.
