Sonarworks Reference 4 AU
Sonarworks Reference 4 AU is an Audio Unit plugin for macOS that provides headphone and speaker calibration and correction. It works as a plugin inside any Audio Unit-compatible host application such as Logic Pro, Final Cut Pro, Adobe Audition, or other professional audio software. The plugin applies Sonarworks' proprietary room and headphone correction curve to ensure accurate, calibrated monitoring during mixing, mastering, and audio post-production work.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSonarworks Reference 4 AU is an Audio Unit plugin and is not updated separately from your host application. To get a native Apple Silicon version of the plugin, you must update Sonarworks Reference 4 through Sonarworks' own installer. Visit the Sonarworks website and download the latest version of Reference 4 for macOS — their installer will place native-compatible builds of both the standalone app and all plugin formats (including the AU variant) into the correct system locations. Once installed, any Audio Unit host application on your Mac that is itself running natively will load the native version of the Reference 4 AU plugin automatically. If you use the plugin inside Logic Pro, Final Cut Pro, or another professional host, make sure your host application is also updated to a native build to get the full performance benefit. Check the Sonarworks support pages if you encounter any compatibility issues after updating.
