Exporting a calibration profile

1. Launch the SoundID Reference standalone app and navigate to the Output Panel.
2. Select your preset and click on  "..." > Export > Merging Technologies.
3. Enter the serial number of your MERGING+ANUBIS interface (e.g. A123456).
4. Confirm the export location and click Next to export.

By default, the exported calibration profile (a .bin file) will be saved in the following directory:

Windows

C:\Users\your username\AppData\Local\Sonarworks\SoundID Reference\Sonarworks Projects\Exported Presets

macOS

MAcintosh HD/Users/your username/Library/Application Support/Sonarworks/Sonarworks Projects/Exported Presets

Note [macOS]: since version 5.4.0 (Oct 18, 2022) the "Sonarworks" folder has been moved from ~/Library/Sonarworks to ~/Library/Application Support/Sonarworks

Importing the profile into the Anubis interface

1. Launch the Anubis remote Web Access page (From the MAD, VAD or ANEMANI), and double-click on the Anubis icon.
2. At the top-left menu, select Upload SoundID profile to import the profile into the Anubis.
3. The profiles have now been imported into your Anubis.

What's included in the profile export?

The exported calibration profile will include the following information and DSP settings adjustments by default:

• Calibration profile
• Target Mode
• Dry/Wet
• Listening Spot
• Limit Controls
• Preset Name

The exported calibration profile will not include the following information (your target device may use its own processing solutions for these DSP features):

• Output Gain: the gain control will take place on the integration device.
• Filter Type: processing will take place on the integration device, using its own filter solution.
• Safe Headroom: the values are exported in the profile, but might be applied differently on different integration devices.

Note: Make sure that Calibration is Enabled before exporting the profile so that Calibration and all DSP settings are successfully included in the export.

Note: Virtual Monitoring is unavailable for headphone profile export.
