Waves Announces Headphone EQ Calibration for Nx Virtual Mix Room

	Waves Nx Virtual Mix Room plugin graphic user interface, including the new headphone EQ calibration feature.

Waves Audio, a provider of digital signal processing solutions and digital music production tools, announces an update to the Waves Nx Virtual Mix Room plugin -- a new headphone EQ calibration feature. Added in response to popular demand, this new feature allows users to select a correction EQ curve for specific popular headphone models.

Nx Virtual Mix Room is a virtual monitoring plugin that recreates the three-dimensional acoustics of a professionally treated mix room on any set of headphones. This allows the user to hear on headphones the same depth and panoramic stereo image they would hear from speakers in a physical room, enabling the user to properly judge how their headphone mixes will translate to speakers.

Based on precision headphone measurement data provided by www.headphone.com, the Nx plugin's new EQ calibration curves are designed to balance out any extreme features in the user's headphone's frequency response, correcting them toward a common frequency balance. This provides a more transparent starting point for monitoring and mixing.

The following headphone models are currently supported by Nx:
Audeze EL-8 (Closed-Back)
Audeze iSINE 20
Audeze SINE
Audio-Technica ATH-M50x
AKG K-702
Beyerdynamic DT-880 (250 ohm)
Beyerdynamic DT-990 (250 ohm)
Sennheiser HD-280 Pro
Sennheiser HD-600
Sennheiser HD-800
Shure SRH-440
Sony MDR-7506

Using Nx Virtual Mix Room with EQ calibration, users can now mix and monitor on headphones with greater confidence than ever, experiencing precise, reliable high-end sound in the studio, at home or on the road.
