Reference Mode

Timing synchronization

Choose how AudioMap synchronizes timing between outputs and inputs. Critical for accurate phase measurements. Learn more about reference modes

Virtual
No cables needed
Software timing, limited accuracy
Single
One shared loop
Good accuracy, simple setup
Multiple
Per-source loops
Highest precision possible
