Hey,
I´m trying SoundID Reference with my UAD Apollo(s):
Apollo x16 > Monitor-Out > Geithain RL 906 Speaker
Apollo x4 > Microphone-In and Headphones
a)
After setup and meassuring first I saw both in presets (x4 and x16).
After trying and deleting profiles/presets I only see the x16.
For Speaker-Test it´s ok and I can here the difference when I switch Flat/Dolby/Custom target after “Apply profile to Apollo X”.
What I don´t understand is: Under Preset Apollo x16 I see “Speakers” and with that I can work.
But there are 3 more entries “2.0 (Stereo) …" or "Sonarworks_Messung …" and so on. In these 3 more entries, I see no frequency curves on the right side, if on left side choosen. Also I cant delete them.

Why not?
How to delete them?
How to get the Apollo x4 again?
b)
Her you see the meassurement:

As you can see, both speakers have a bass-boost . But one more as the other.
I can appy my target curve to the Apollo X16, and yes, when I switch I can here the difference. Nice

What I see here is, that one speaker has less bass.
Can SoundiD-Reference manipulate the frequencies of each speaker separate?
If so, why I see here the difference from speaker L to R?
c)
What does SoundID Reference do at all?
Is it only EQing?
Or can it handle timing, delay and phase issues?
Thanks for help1
Kind regards
Jens

Hi Jens,
We have received and replied to your email inquiry. If any questions remain, let's pick it up there!
I am assuming you were able to measure using the Microphone inputs on the x4, and your speakers are on the x16? How are you able to do that? I have been beating my head in for 4 hours making this work and it simply won't work at all.
Is this on Mac or PC?
Hey studio,
In the apollo console preferences you have to choose x16 as first/main-device (A) and the x4 as second (B). In the Matrix you can see the channel in/out.
Then choose for monitor out:
A Mon L
A Mon R
And for the Mic, channel one (the left one at the backside)
B Line/Hz In 1
You have to use a Mic with phantom power and switch it on in the apollo.
Its on PC with Win11
