SPHERE Surround, the software monitor controller for stereo and surround up to 7.1, together with the GroundControl LINK plug-in that routes audio from your DAW to SPHERE with low latency.

SPHERE Surround handles speaker layouts up to 7.1 with 12 input sources plus a talkback input and 12 outputs plus a cue output, and gives you a visual speaker layout with mute, solo, LUFS metering and volume control. For calibration you set EQ, level and delay per speaker, bass management drives up to four subwoofers, and plug-ins for EQ, room correction or metering can be loaded on any input or output. Downmixes with Apple Spatial rendering or Dolby Direct coefficients let you hear how the mix translates to stereo and headphones, and GroundControl Fusion combines several audio interfaces into a single output. The LINK plug-in sends audio from any DAW channel to SPHERE with low latency and high stability, while your DAW keeps using your audio interface as its audio engine.
