AUDIENT ORIA | Immersive Audio Interface & Monitor Controller

ORIA

Immersive Audio Interface and Monitor Controller

The ORIA from Audient is a comprehensive audio interface and monitor controller that supports up to 9.1.6 surround. With onboard DSP processing, native Atmos rendering, and a plethora of analog and digital I/O, ORIA supports a wide array of production scenarios.

Ideal for professional music, TV, film, videogame, and VR production, the ORIA offers up to 24-bit / 96 kHz sampling and an impressive 126 dB of dynamic range with its proprietary converters. Sophisticated metering and monitor controls are provided via the bright LCD screen and companion software. The I/O is extensive and supports up to 16 channels of audio for either analog or digital monitor systems. Along with free Sonarworks SoundID Reference calibration software for matching your speaker system to your environment, ORIA includes a calibration microphone and a USB-C cable.

Advanced Speaker Processing

ORIA’s Advanced Speaker Processing lets you calibrate your room and create custom onboard calibration Profiles (presets) for any monitoring format from stereo to surround to 9.1.6 immersive setups, making reference checking your mix in different formats a breeze.

• Trim: adjust the level of every speaker individually to ensure a balanced soundfield
• Speaker delay: make sure audio from every speaker arrives at the mix position precisely at the same time
• Bass management: accurately hear all of the bass and low-end frequencies in your mix and utilize a per-channel configurable crossover filter
• 8-band EQ: deal with unwanted acoustic issues and coloration to ensure a flat and consistent translation of your audio

SoundID Reference

Audient has teamed up with room calibration heavyweights Sonarworks to bring you a seamless integration with SoundID Reference, letting you accurately measure and calibrate multichannel setups in less than an hour. With a SoundID Reference Microphone and 60-day free trial of SoundID Reference for Multichannel software included, ORIA lets you create custom SoundID Profiles for different monitoring formats and target modes, load them into ORIA, and take advantage of consistently accurate and low-latency immersive audio.

• Measure your speakers: an automated and user friendly guide helps you measure and calibrate your studio speakers using the included microphone
• Choose your Target Mode: choose your calibration Profile and correct for the Dolby Atmos Music curve, flat frequency response, or create custom Profiles
• Export your profile: export up to 32 unique Profiles directly to ORIA's internal memory, watch as your settings are automatically adjusted
• You're now ready to mix: sit back and enjoy a consistent translation of your audio no matter the format in which you are working

Take a Load Off

All of ORIA's Advanced Speaker Processing, whether using manual or SoundID calibrations, runs directly from its lightning fast onboard DSP Dual Processor Architecture. Delivering low-latency audio and freeing up your computer's CPU for bigger and more demanding sessions, the onboard DSP helps you be more productive and experience better performance.

Advanced Immersive Monitor Control

Fast Profile Recall

• Use Profiles to quickly switch between speakers, listening levels, and target curves. Imagine instantly switching from your perfectly calibrated stereo nearfield speakers to a 9.1.6 immersive setup with Dolby X-Curve. Now, you can with a touch of a button.

Speaker Control

• Fly around your session at high speeds with true immersive monitor control. Featuring color-coded speaker groups, individual and group speaker mute/solo, global volume control, cut and dim, and global delay (lip-sync) for postproduction workflows.

Metering

• Keep an eye on your metering from multiple locations including ORIA's front-panel LCD screen, desktop software, or iPad remote. Still need more detail? Expand ORIA's desktop metering via an independent window, unlocking additional visual feedback.

Dolby Atmos Support

• ORIA integrates with the Dolby Renderer, letting you take control of the down mix functionality directly from ORIA's user interface. Ideal for quickly checking your mix in different monitoring layouts, such as 7.1, 5.1, stereo, and more.

iPad App Control

Go Remote

• Never miss a beat with ORIA's iPad Control app. The power of touch grants you remote access to all of ORIA's control features, from one centralized control hub. Adjust levels, audition speakers, switch profiles, and monitor your metering—all directly from your desktop. Precise control without the complexity.

Connectivity

With a huge array of connectivity options, ORIA provides more than enough I/O to take on professional multichannel setups.

• Two XLR-1/4" combo inputs with balanced mic- and line-level input and unbalanced Hi-Z intstrument input
• Both combo inputs sport high-quality Audient preamps with up to 60 dB of clean gain
• 2 x 16 1/4" line outputs for supporting surround sound speaker setups up to 9.1.6
• Eight pairs of AES digital outputs (up to 16 channels) for interfacing with digital speakers
• Two ADAT optical inputs for use as an external 9.1.6 monitor controller or traditional multichannel recording, up to 16 channels at 48 kHz, and 8 channels at 96 kHz
• Two dedicated 1/4" stereo line outputs (two stereo pairs) for nonimmersive near-field applications
• BNC wordclock input and output connectors for integration into larger installations

USB Powered

Connecting via a high-speed USB-C connection, ORIA offers ultralow latency monitoring and rock solid driver performance for both macOS and Windows.

Optional Dante Card

Providing up to 16 input channels over AoIP, ORIA's optional Dante Card lets you quickly integrate with new or existing AoIP networks, making your move to immersive seamless. Ideal for large studio complexes and educational facilities.

Audio Performance

High-Performance Converters

• Thanks to a massive 126 dB of dynamic range, your mixes will sound more detailed than ever with ORIA's high performance AD/DA converters. These converters were built to deliver the most honest translation of your audio, help you hear subtle detail, identify problematic issues, and make better mix decisions. Achieve total clarity and take your mixes to the next level.

Audient Console Mic Preamps

• Designed to deliver ultralow noise and low distortion with a touch of classic analog warmth, ORIA's two Audient Console Mic Preamps deliver 60 dB of gain and will work as mic, line, or Hi-Z instrument inputs. Give yourself clean, accurate, and true-to-source translation of your audio.

Smart Analog Preamps

• For the first time ever, the Audient Console mic preamps are now remote controlled. They have been optimized to give you the sonic benefits of their all-analog design alongside pinpoint accurate digital control.

Built to Last

• A 8mm thick faceplate and solid-steel design means ORIA is ready to withstand studio wear and tear. And ORIA's fanless design means it is whisper quiet, ready to sit front and center in your studio.
