Excerpt from Sonarworks blog “Audio Test Kitchen — Try Before You Buy” by Adam Kagan

— Alex Oana, Audio Test Kitchen

“Audio Test Kitchen and Sonarworks are really aligned in that both of us understand that we need The Truth, a consistent scientific process to ensure that all the audio is equally matched, and we also need Your Truth, which involves your aesthetic and taste. With Sonarworks The Truth is about monitoring accuracy, which allows you to fully express Your Truth—your artistic expression—in a meaningful way. Both ATK and Sonarworks have to create a true reference point so a creator can be sure the world hears things in the way a creator meant them to sound. Microphones are tools—filters really—that capture audio and color it during that process. We want to create a resource to help users accurately judge and find microphones that sound good to them.” — Alex Oana, Founder, Audio Test Kitchen
