Audient - Pack ORIA Mini + Add-on (Hardware + Add-on)

As soon as you lay eyes on the Audient ORIA Mini, you realise that this tool is going to revolutionise your day-to-day work as a producer. This DSP processor stores 4 calibration profiles in its memory, ready to be recalled in an instant, whether it's a completely flat target to mix with precision, a headphone simulation to check personal rendering or a car profile to test translation. Each switch is made without taxing your CPU and with such low latency that it goes unnoticed, even in a demanding monitoring environment.

The partnership with Sonarworks is not insignificant: the SoundID Reference technology, already adopted in over 250,000 studios worldwide, is integrated directly into the heart of the hardware. You work with a stable, constant calibration, free from any software constraints. Audient and Sonarworks have made this level of hardware independence available through the ORIA Mini, and it really does change the way you think about your mixes.

The conversion engine is based on 32-bit converters working at 24-bit/96 kHz, guaranteeing faithful reproduction of the finest detail. With a dynamic range of 127dB, transients breathe and bass frequencies retain their impact without crushing. During a mix session, you can instantly check the translation of your work on different profiles, without leaving your sweet spot. Monitoring then becomes a reliable tool, free from the illusions created by the room.

The included software extension acts as a gateway between the processor and SoundID Reference, allowing your custom settings to be exported directly into the device. You could adjust the target curve in real time, create a smartphone listening simulation, then save everything so that it remains active without a computer. This level of autonomy has been sought after for a long time, and that's what makes this integration so relevant. Remote control via iPad or Stream Deck adds another layer of comfort, as you adapt your working environment as your creativity takes you.

The partnership between Sonarworks and Audient has resulted in a hybrid machine where the rigour of digital processing meets the ergonomics of a modern audio interface. Installation takes no more than 20 minutes, including measurement, and the impact is immediate: transparent monitoring, free from room coloration. When your workflow gains in speed and your mixes are translated elsewhere without surprise, you understand why this type of processor becomes indispensable.
