Route your audio, shape your sound, control your listening level, add effects and save your entire setup in one user-friendly macOS application.
SoundRouter Dore brings routing, parametric EQ, headphone configuration, listening-level control, Audio Unit effects, ambience and presets together in one focused audio environment.
From routing and EQ to headphone management and listening-level control, SoundRouter Dore puts the important parts of your audio chain together.
Route audio between available input and output devices using System Audio and additional custom input configurations.
Build a flexible multi-band parametric EQ with Low Shelf, Peak and High Shelf filters. Edit frequency, gain and Q directly.
Save headphone and IEM profiles including impedance and sensitivity, with automatic dB/V and dB/mW conversion.
View an estimated listening-level SPL when the required headphone information and output configuration are available.
Set a custom target listening level and use automatic dB leveling to help maintain your chosen target.
Apply equal-loudness compensation based on the ISO 226 standard.
Select compatible Audio Unit plugins and integrate additional processing into your listening chain.
Create a wider, more spacious soundfield designed for headphone and IEM listening.
Save, load, delete and reorder complete audio configurations, with support for a startup preset.
Import plain-text parametric EQ profiles containing frequency, gain, Q and common shelf/peak filter definitions.
Control the main output level, mute state and extra-input monitor volume directly from the app.
Start and monitor the audio engine from a focused desktop interface designed around responsive control.
SoundRouter Dore gives you a central place to
configure the path your audio takes through your
Mac.
Choose the capture method, input device,
extra monitor input and output device while
keeping the rest of your processing chain
in the same environment.
Build your sound exactly the way you want it with flexible parametric EQ controls and directly import your personal SoundEQ Dore profiles, or any other PEQ preset.
Every EQ band provides direct control over frequency, gain and Q. Gain ranges from −12 dB to +12 dB, and bands can be added, edited or removed as needed. Support EQ profiles from SoundEQ Dore or any other parametric EQ preset with an unlimited number of bands.
Store headphone and IEM characteristics directly
in SoundRouter Dore.
Enter impedance and sensitivity in either dB/V
or dB/mW. The application converts between the
two representations using the headphone impedance.
Saved profiles make it easy to switch between
different listening setups.
When the necessary headphone information is available, SoundRouter Dore can display an estimated listening-level SPL based on the audio level and headphone characteristics.
See an estimated listening level directly in the Master Volume section.
Set a custom target level for the automatic level-control system.
Enable automatic dB leveling around your selected target listening level.
Equal Loudness Compensation applies an
equal-loudness-based adjustment designed around
the way human hearing perceives different
frequencies at different listening levels.
The feature is based on ISO 226 equal-loudness
contour principles and becomes available when
the required headphone configuration is present.
Add compatible Audio Unit plugins and combine them with SoundEQ Dore and the built-in audio effects.
Create a wider, more spacious soundfield for headphone and IEM listening. The effect is designed to give the presentation a more open and immersive character.
Save complete audio configurations as presets
and switch between them whenever you need.
Presets can be loaded, deleted and reordered.
You can also assign one preset as your startup
configuration.
Build your listening environment in a few simple stages.
Choose your audio capture, inputs and output.
Build or import your SoundEQ Dore parametric EQ.
Add Audio Unit effects or Ambience when desired.
Enter your headphone impedance and sensitivity.
Watch volume and estimated listening level.
Save the complete configuration as a preset.
