Sonarworks is an audio software company based in Riga, Latvia, founded in 2012 by Helmuts Bems and Martins Popelis. The company specializes in audio calibration and personalization technology, with its tools widely adopted in professional recording, mixing, and mastering environments.

Its flagship product, SoundID Reference, is a speaker and headphone calibration application that compensates for the frequency-response coloration of monitors and headphones to deliver a neutral reference sound. It runs as a standalone systemwide app or as a DAW plug-in across hosts like Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Cubase, Studio One, Reaper, and FL Studio, supports stereo through 9.1.6 Atmos speaker configurations, and ships with calibration profiles for hundreds of headphone models. Speaker calibration relies on a measurement microphone, sold separately or bundled with the software.

Beyond SoundID Reference, the company develops SoundID, a consumer audio personalization app that builds a listener-specific sound profile, and has expanded into adjacent pro-audio tools including SoundID VM PRO for room emulation and SoundID VoiceAI for voice processing. Sonarworks also licenses its SoundID technology to hardware partners, and its calibration software is commonly cited in production workflows by Grammy-credited engineers.

Sonarworks has 23 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Vocal Processing Plugins, Utility Plugins, and Referencing Tools. Their gear is featured by 11 artists, with the strongest followings in Electronic, Pop, and Hip Hop. Notable users include J. Cole, Rachel K Collier, and Pogo.
