Audient ORIA Immersive Audio Interface and Monitor Controller with Dante

The Audient ORIA with Dante is a USB-C audio interface and monitor controller purpose-built for immersive audio production, supporting monitoring formats from stereo through full 9.1.6 Dolby Atmos workflows—with the optional Dante card included for seamless integration into AoIP networks. Onboard Advanced Speaker Processing—including trim, speaker delay, bass management, and 8-band EQ per channel—runs entirely on ORIA’s dual-processor DSP architecture rather than the host computer, keeping CPU load low during demanding sessions. ORIA integrates with Sonarworks SoundID Reference for streamlined multi-channel room calibration (microphone and 60-day trial included) and officially supports the Dolby Renderer for direct down-mix control from within ORIA’s interface. Two remote-controlled Audient Console mic preamps round out the package alongside 16 balanced analog outputs, 8 pairs of AES digital outputs, 16 channels of ADAT input, 16 channels of Dante AoIP input, and Word Clock I/O.

Key Features

• Immersive audio interface and monitor controller — 16 balanced analog outputs support monitoring formats from stereo up to 9.1.6; operates as a USB-C audio interface or as a standalone monitor controller via ADAT or Dante inputs
• Dante AoIP input (included) — up to 16 input channels over AoIP for integration into new or existing Dante networks; ideal for large studio complexes, post facilities, and educational environments
• Advanced Speaker Processing (onboard DSP) — all processing runs on ORIA’s dual-processor DSP architecture; no CPU load on the host computer:
  • Trim: per-speaker level adjustment for a balanced soundfield
  • Speaker Delay: time-aligns all speakers to the mix position
  • Bass Management: per-channel configurable crossover filter for accurate low-end monitoring
  • 8-band EQ: addresses acoustic issues and room coloration for consistent translation
• Sonarworks SoundID Reference integration — calibrate multi-channel setups in under an hour; SoundID Reference Microphone and 60-day trial of SoundID Reference for Multichannel software included; custom Profiles load directly onto ORIA’s DSP
• Fast Profile Recall — store and recall calibration profiles, speaker configurations, listening levels, and target curves; switch between monitoring formats instantly
• Speaker Control — color-coded speaker groups; individual and group mute/solo; global volume, cut, and dim; global delay (lip-sync) for post-production workflows
• Two Audient Console Mic Preamps — remote controlled; 60dB of gain; accepts mic, line, and Hi-Z instrument inputs; ultra-low noise, low distortion design
• High-performance converters — 126dB dynamic range (DAC); 122dB dynamic range (ADC)
• Dolby Renderer integration — officially approved; control down-mix functionality directly from ORIA’s interface for checking mixes in 7.1, 5.1, stereo, and other formats
• Low-latency software mixer — direct input monitoring with near-zero latency; 3 independent stereo Cue mixes for headphone monitoring during tracking
• Remote control support — iPad Control (free ORIA Control app), Elgato Stream Deck (Stream Deck, Stream Deck+, XL, Neo, Mini, and Mobile), and Avid EUCON protocol for Pro Tools Control and Avid control surfaces
• Metering — front panel LCD, desktop software, and iPad remote; expandable via independent desktop metering window
• Fanless design — completely silent operation for studio environments; solid steel construction with 8mm thick faceplate
