They will listen to Oria Mini: room acoustic correction powered by Sonarworks

The British audio brand They will listen, in collaboration with Sonarworks, has developed Oria Mini, a compact and powerful room acoustic correction system that provides mixing reliability for music creators, producers and studio owners.

The system They will listen to Oria Mini provides professional level acoustic calibration on a dedicated hardware device, no software required, no CPU overhead and no latency, available in Spain through Audio-Technica Iberia.

“Every sound engineer knows the frustration of working on mixes that don't translate correctly outside of the studio,” he says. Andrew Allen, Audient product and marketing director. The reality is that the problem is usually in the room itself and, If you can't trust what you hear, not even in your mix. Oria Mini solves this situation in a matter of minutes, providing a professional monitoring environment that you can really trust and the security you need to get your best mixes”.

In collaboration with Sonarworks and your system SoundID Reference, Oria Mini is a solution online DSP hardware that integrates between the audio interface and the user's monitors. Measure and correct acoustic imperfections in any space, from home studios to professional control rooms, and apply corrective calibration directly through its internal DSP.

As pointed out Martins Polelis, Product Manager at Sonarworks, “Our mission has been to help creators hear every detail with complete confidence, regardless of where they work. With Oria Mini, powered by SoundID Reference, We bring that promise to a dedicated hardware solution, which provides a Studio-accurate sound without overloading the CPU, no latency and without interrupting the workflow”.

By correcting room acoustic imperfections and ensuring mixes translate correctly to any playback system, “Oria Mini represents the essence of what Sonarworks offers: consistency, reliability and the freedom for creators to focus exclusively on their music”, Polelis assures.

Con converters 32 bits, a dynamic range of 127 dB y Compatibility with speaker systems up to 2.1, Oria Mini provides uncompromising audio performance, with a compact format, stylish and portable.

Users can upload to the Oria Mini system up to four unique calibration profiles on hardware and switch between them instantly to streamline workflow.

Besides, via Sonarworks, It is possible to create calibration profiles that simulate different playback environments, like a car system or a mobile phone, to see how the mixtures translate to other systems, all this without moving from the work table.

“We understand that, although room correction has a very positive impact on the ability to achieve excellent mixes, It can also be complicated. For this reason, Oria Mini has been designed as a device that follows the philosophy of 'set it and forget it', with consistent, reliable performance with ultra-low latency, working silently in the background and without any complications”, subraya Allen.
