Gorgeous, easy to use, and extremely useful. That was our first impression when we saw the ORIA Mini at a pre-release launch event.
The tag line is “Unlock Your Best Mixes” and having seen Audient ORIA Mini in action, that’s exactly what it does. But, what is it exactly?
Audient ORIA Mini sits between your interface and your speakers, giving you the ability to tweak the sound that you are hearing, whatever the room is. Working with Sonarworks, there’s a solution that analyses the room and corrects the acoustic performance. Vital for any studio, we’d say. Not got the perfect room? The ORIA Mini with Sonarworks provides an accurate solution.
ORIA Mini includes:
- ORIA Mini
- SoundID Reference Software
- SoundID Reference Mic
The unit can hold up to 4 snapshots that can be flicked through (many more snapshots can be saved), bypass can be controller from the software control or on the unit itself, and once it’s all set up the Mini can be hidden out of site if needed.
ORIA Mini makes professional room correction effortless. In under 20 minutes, measure your room, create custom profiles, connect ORIA Mini and start mixing with studio grade, high resolution monitoring. With four customisable profile slots, you can effortlessly switch between different target curves, allowing you to quickly audition your mix across various playback simulations – like phone and car environments – all from the comfort of your chair. A/B testing made easy.
It includes many features from the ORIA interface, and importantly has 127 dB dynamic range – after all, why would you put something in the chain that’s of a lower quality for room correction?
Our thoughts? Well played, Audient, the ORIA Mini is a tool that any home studio or professional studio should seriously consider. It solves a very big problem, and producers and mix engineers should invest in one.
