R23 Reference Monitor enhances headphone listening by simulating the experience of monitoring through studio speakers. It recreates speaker cross-feed along with room absorption and reflection, allowing you to hear your mix as if you were in a professional studio environment. This approach helps achieve more accurate mixing decisions when using headphones.

Built on the foundation of the HC38 Headphone Calibrator, this plugin offers an improved frequency response for a more precise and natural sound. Its streamlined graphic interface simplifies the user experience, making it straightforward to use without the need for complex calibration steps.

Designed to work best with professional flat-response headphones, the R23 Reference Monitor requires no additional setup—simply insert it into your signal chain and start mixing. This makes it an efficient tool for producers and engineers seeking reliable reference monitoring through headphones.
