Support status update for Reference 4 products
With the latest Reference 4 version updates (4.4.9; 4.4.10), we've introduced full support for Windows 11 and macOS 12 Monterey operating systems. This is the final major update for Reference 4, which closes the active development cycle for Reference 4 products (2017-2022). Active support will still be carried out until March 2023, after which Reference 4 will be fully discontinued. After that, critical maintenance will still be attended to (maintaining Reference 4 download, activation, and user account systems).
Our professional Reference product line continues with a brand new flagship product SoundID Reference, released in March 2021. Learn more here.
