British audio brand Audient, in collaboration with audio technology innovator Sonarworks, has announced ORIA Mini, a compact yet powerful room correction system designed to give music creators, producers, and studio owners confidence in every mix. ORIA Mini delivers professional-grade acoustic calibration in a dedicated hardware device: no software, no CPU strain, no latency, and no guesswork.

“Every engineer knows the frustration of chasing mixes that don’t translate outside the studio,” says Andrew Allen, Product & Marketing Director at Audient. “Your room is often the problem, and if you can’t trust what you’re hearing, you can’t trust your mix. ORIA Mini fixes that in minutes, giving you a professional monitoring environment you can rely on and the confidence to unlock your best mixes yet.”

Powered by Sonarworks SoundID Reference, ORIA Mini is an inline hardware DSP solution that integrates between any audio interface and speakers. It measures and corrects the acoustic imperfections of any space, from home studios to professional control rooms, applying corrective calibration directly via onboard DSP. This ensures accurate, reliable monitoring without plugins or system-wide software.

Martins Polelis, CPO at Sonarworks, adds: “ORIA Mini extends our mission to help creators hear every detail with confidence into a dedicated hardware solution. It provides studio-accurate sound without CPU strain or latency, correcting room imperfections and ensuring mixes translate across all playback systems.”

With 32-bit converters, 127dB dynamic range, and support for up to 2.1 speaker systems, ORIA Mini delivers uncompromising audio performance in a sleek, portable form. Users can store up to four unique calibration profiles and switch between them instantly. It can even simulate different listening environments, such as cars or mobile devices, helping creators check mix translation without leaving their desk.

Andrew Allen continues: “Room correction can be complicated, which is why ORIA Mini is designed as a set-and-forget device. It works quietly in the background with ultra-low latency, giving you high-resolution, consistently accurate monitoring for mixing or streaming without crashes or CPU strain.”
