Make sure you have registered your SoundID Reference for Multichannel license, measure your system with SoundID Reference Measure, load the calibration profile in SoundID Reference DAW plugin, or export the calibration to a supported device. For more details visit this guide: Setting up on multichannel speakers

At the moment, system-wide calibration is not supported for multichannel profiles. The multichannel calibration profiles can be loaded in the SoundID Reference standalone app for supported device export purposes or applying a target mode before the profile export. We're planning to add multichannel profile support in the SoundID Reference standalone app eventually, however, there are no immediate development plans that would allow us to approximate the release window or any other ETA.

Yes, third-party mics can be used to measure your multichannel system, however, we are unable to provide third-party mic calibration files, therefore, the measurement may not be as precise. We recommend using SoundID Reference Measurement Microphone for the best results as the microphone profile will include 0°, 30°, and 90° calibration curves. Learn more here: Using third-party measurement microphones.
