Audient ORIA Immersive Audio Interface and Monitor Controller

The Audient ORIA 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. 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, and Word Clock I/O—making ORIA equally capable as a standalone monitor controller or as the center of a full immersive recording and mixing setup.

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 inputs
• 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
• Optional Dante card — adds up to 16 channels of AoIP input for integration into existing Dante networks; ideal for large studio complexes and educational facilities
• Fanless design — completely silent operation for studio environments; solid steel construction with 8mm thick faceplate
