Profile export availability and requirements

With the SoundID Reference and Merging Technologies integration, you can export calibration profiles and import them straight onto your MERGING+ANUBIS interface.

SoundID Reference export options and license requirements:

• Headphone profiles - Headphones license required
• Headphone and speaker profiles (stereo) - Speakers and Headphones license required
• Headphone and speaker profiles (stereo/multichannel) - Multichannel license required

Merging Technologies hardware and license requirements:

• ANUBIS v1.2.5 (or later) firmware update installed
• Headphone and speaker profiles (stereo) - a fully licensed MERGING+ANUBIS unit
• Speaker profiles (multichannel) - a fully licensed MERGING+ANUBIS unit, with additional ANUBIS PLUGIN expansion for Multichannel

NOTE! Multichannel profile export is not available with the SoundID Reference legacy versions.

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: 

  AppData\Local\Sonarworks\SoundID Reference\Sonarworks Projects\Exported Presets

• macOS:

  /Library/Application Support/Sonarworks/Sonarworks Projects/Exported Presets

Note for macOS users: Since version 5.4.0 (Oct 18, 2022) the folder destination has been moved from ~/Library/Sonarworks to ~/Library/Application Support/Sonarworks

What's included in the exported profile

Only select and enabled settings will be included in the export. Make sure the Calibration is Enabled, so the features are successfully included in the export. A successful profile export will generate a .bin file including your assigned settings (your preset data) for these features:

• Calibration Curve
• Dry/Wet
• Target Mode
• Listening Spot (speaker profiles only)
• Limit Controls (speaker profiles only)
• Safe Headroom

Is everything being processed from the exported calibration file?

No, MERGING+ANUBIS will use its own processing solution for these features:

•  Output Gain: output gain control will take place on the Anubis interface
•  Filter Type: processing will take place on the Anubis interface, using its own IIR filter solution

Importing the profile into the Anubis interface

1. Launch the Anubis remote Web Access page (From the MAD, VAD or ANEMAN double mouse click on the Anubis Icon)
2. At the top left under menu select Upload SoundID profile in order to import the profile into the Anubis
3. The profiles have now been imported into your Anubis
