Sonarworks Public Relations noted to me that True-Fi technology “corrects the impact headphones have on sound quality”. To start, I’m first going to let Sonarworks themselves describe it and then go about how I see it from a user’s point-of-view. The first question people ask about True-Fi is what is it and how is it different. Bēms smashed the glass and announced True-Fi to the world in 2017. With a hammer in one hand and plans in the other, Mr. They saw a frozen clock and within it was software-based sound shaping, the same as ever for the last few decades. Their name is Sonarworks, a company out of Latvia from the mind of Helmuts Bēms (CEO and Co-Founder). It’s a tacked on component that everyone has heard of and everyone has.Īlas, a company in Europe had a different idea. From the inception of software equalizers being relatively commonplace in the 80s to now in 2018, little has changed on shaping audio. ![]() And this is where history stops for approximately three decades. Simple equalizers changing the shape and curve of the waves output at different frequencies to achieve a desirable result. Software in audio has been around for ages. The last portion of this pipe, of course, ending up in your headphones. A source which typically has software to hold and manage the digital files in the modern-day sending out those bits to a DAC which then is sent to an amp. ![]() Of course, the entire pathway would be hardware! We start with AC transformed into DC powering all our devices. The typical person would say it’s obvious. ![]() It makes sense though as it is the production of a physical phenomena of fluctuating airwaves to produce sound and from there music. Headphone audio, since its roots decades previously to now, has always been a hardware-oriented field.
