Audient Oria Mini

With ORIA Mini, the British manufacturer presents an innovative hardware solution developed in partnership with Sonarworks for the acoustic optimisation of monitor systems.

A reliable mix is not possible without reliable listening - room acoustics are often the decisive interference factor.

ORIA Mini is the powerful room correction tool between audio interface and loudspeakers - it transforms studio monitoring and ensures an immediate increase in performance.

In collaboration with Sonarworks, a dedicated hardware solution has been developed that analyses and corrects a room's acoustic deficiencies in minutes, transforming a studio from a system of trial and error to a reliable professional monitoring environment.

Powered by Sonarworks, ORIA Mini enables the precise measurement and calibration of any room with SoundID Reference - a technology already used in over 250,000 studios worldwide, from home studios to Grammy award-winning sound engineers. The system ensures that audio is reproduced as it should sound: free from room colouration and with an accuracy that gives absolute certainty even when making important mix decisions.

This allows mixes to be designed in such a way that they are convincing everywhere - whether in the car radio, via streaming services or on high-end systems. A precise monitoring environment reduces the time and effort required for constant cross-monitoring on different systems and speeds up the entire workflow considerably.

Set and forget: Set-up takes less than 20 minutes: measure, calibrate and immediately benefit from a significant improvement in sound. This is supported by dedicated hardware that operates with extremely low latency, requires no CPU resources and runs reliably in the background - around the clock and without software problems.

ORIA Mini not only enables room calibration with Sonarworks, but also manual calibration using measurement software such as Smaart or RoomEQ Wizard. The integrated signal processing can be controlled directly to customise EQ, delay, trim and bass management for each output channel.

ORIA Mini's advanced 32-bit AD/DA converters are designed for absolute sonic transparency. The design minimises quality loss during conversion and ensures the cleanest, most precise signal path. So transparent that ORIA Mini is virtually inaudible in the signal flow.

Combined with an impressive 127 dB dynamic range, even the finest details in the mix become audible, while potential problem areas are immediately recognisable. The result is not just better sound, but the basis for mixing with the utmost confidence and results that are ready for release at any time.

ORIA Mini can be used to realistically simulate a variety of different listening environments - from a simple car radio to headphones to a high-quality hi-fi system. These simulations can be imported directly into the device and allow mixes to be tested directly at the workplace under different acoustic conditions. In this way, it quickly becomes clear how a production sounds in both everyday and professional monitoring situations without having to switch between different rooms or systems. This provides more confidence when mixing and makes it easier to achieve balanced sound results that are convincing on any playback system.
