Product description
Take your headphone mixing to the next level. This Add-On delivers the most accurate spatial simulation of stereo studio speakers on your headphones.
While headphones naturally give a sound that feels "inside your head", this Add-On introduces the depth and richness of larger studio monitors in a well-treated control room, but not only. It also gives you another perspective through everyday device simulation, such as cars or living rooms.
With the Virtual Monitoring Add-On, you'll find a better mixing result that translates consistently across various environments, enhancing the headphone mixing experience for both amateurs and professionals.

Fixed an issue with Virtual Monitoring which caused overall volume imbalance between various presets.
Fixed an issue which caused laggy performance for the application in some geographical regions.
Fixed some preset descriptions within the Virtual Monitoring feature.
Improved the headphone search logic when switching between the manufacturer and model list views.
Fixed the issue with “Update available” pop-ups not showing the relevant version numbers in some cases.
