• on home speakers
• and in other places. This happens because the timber
• width and space in headphones don't sound the same as on speakers. dSONIQ Realphones software corrects the sound of your headphones and brings the acoustics of a professional recording studio
• night club and car into them. With Realphones
• your headphones turn into a reliable monitoring tool for mixing tracks that you can trust. How Does Realphones Technology Work? Headphone Frequency Response Correction Through extensive research since 2015
• dSONIQ created an advanced multi-stage technology that achieves highly accurate headphone measurements. The results are as close as possible to what a person hears in reality. Realphones headphone frequency response correction allows you to hear a linear sound with minimal unwanted colouration. Currently
• Realphones supports about 200 headphone models
• and dSONIQ are constantly working to expand this list - https: //dsoniq.com/standard A Professional Studio Control Room in Your Headphones In a professional studio
• sound engineers use near
• and far-field monitors to get a clear idea of what's going on in the mix. Realphones emulates a real high-end large control room designed by American architect Tom Hidley and remodelled by British acoustician Roger d'Arcy. Night Club and Car Cabin for Mix-Checking Nightclubs are equipped with powerful subwoofers
• and they can reveal low-frequency issues that you might not even know when working on a track in the studio. Club emulation in Realphones will help you avoid typical mistakes associated with an excess of low frequencies and understand how well your track will "pump" in a club. It's a common habit for sound engineers to test mixes in their own cars. This allows them to look from a different point of view
• since good car speakers sound "fat" and "juicy"
• unlike neutral studio speakers. Also
• many people listen to music in the car and are used to that sound
• so it's never a bad idea to check out your mixes with Realphones car emulation. More Tools for Mix-Checking Modeling the sound of various models of professional monitors and consumer audio speakers. Check how your mix behaves under different listening conditions. How Does Realphones' Technology Work? Alignment of Headphone Frequency Response Peaks and dips lead to errors in timbre and musical balance and cause frequency masking. A more even response allows you to get a more reliable transfer of timbre and musical balance. Frequency response graphs of individual samples of six popular professional studio headphone models Frequency response grаphs of the same samples after Realphones Standard frequency correction was applied Virtual Acoustic Space Conventional Headphones' Stereo Reproduction Phone transducers are located close to the ears and are acoustically isolated from each other. Imaginary sound sources are spaced too widely and not joined into a solid soundstage The spectral balance between the centre and sides is disturbed An absence of room response leads to a dry and thin sound Binaural Angle Set to 60° Psychoacoustic virtual source placement matches the reproduction of a standard studio monitor setup. The representation of the mix and its components becomes solid. The level and frequency balance between the centre and sides is reconstructed. Proper localisation and interaction of the sound sources are necessary for creative work on the width and depth of the mix. Room Ambience Set to 100% The binaurally captured ambience of professional studio control rooms is added to the dry headphone sound. The mix is reproduced in the context of real room acoustics. The body
• transients and space of the mix are revealed. Room reflections provide points to tweak the levels
• equalisation
• space and effects for a better mix translation. Mix Testing Tools Realphones includes modelling of diverse sets of pro and consumer audio speakers so you can verify the behaviour of your mix across a wide range of simulated speakers. Also
• there are controls for various aspects of the stereo mix. Test mono compatibility
• left-right symmetry
• single-speaker playback and the side anti-phase component. How Can Realphones Benefit You Personally? Do you lack a suitable acoustically treated space? Do you have to work on mixing tracks at home
• in a room with terrible background noise and reverb
• and even professional monitors aren't enough to get the results you want? With the Realphones plugin
• the possibilities for mixing on headphones approach the conditions of a professional recording studio's control room. You'll be able to trust your monitoring
• making the mixing process much simpler. And your family and neighbours will no longer have to put up with intrusive sounds and loud music. If you have access to a professional audio studio
•  you'll be able to use Realphones for supplementary monitoring in the studio
• and also as a primary tool for working on tracks outside it. In studios with unfamiliar acoustics
• you will always have access to the controls you're used to. Modes for emulating various audio devices help you determine how your mixes would sound on consumer speakers
• systems with a powerful subwoofer or portable devices
• without even getting up from your desk. Also if you are travelling a lot the Realphones plugin is ideal for working on mixes on the road and when travelling. All you need is the plugin
• headphones
• and a laptop. Realphones is honest monitoring that's easy to take on the go.
