Genelec, the global leader in professional monitoring solutions, has released Aural ID 2.1 – their latest HRTF-based binaural headphone monitoring application. Delivering truthful headphone mixes with uncompromised spatial positioning, depth, and tonal balance, Aural ID 2.1 features a range of powerful enhancements to streamline workflows and improve overall system transparency. Operating as a virtual Mac sound card, the Aural ID 2.1 Application is the ideal partner for any brand of professional headphones – as well as forming a key element of Genelec’s own growing UNIO monitoring ecosystem. At the heart of the 2.1 update is a clearer and more intuitive file management structure, with Aural ID profiles organised within a Profiles folder, while user configurations can be stored separately in a Setups folder. This improves clarity and control, allowing audio professionals to manage their personal HRTF profiles and session-specific settings with ease. The UI has also been refined, enabling faster adjustments and more fluid creative decision-making. Aural ID Application 2.1 represents a new standard in accurate headphone monitoring, for both stereo and immersive audio production. Aural ID 2.1 is available as an annual subscription or perpetual licence, or as a 30-day trial version.
