Today, I want to talk about a new plugin that’s been getting a lot of attention: MMatcher by Melda Production. If you’re into mixing and want to improve the sound quality of your headphones, this tool might be exactly what you need.
I decided to personally test it on the Sony MDR-7506, one of the most popular studio headphones. While these headphones are legendary, they do have a “colored” sound, meaning they tend to emphasize certain frequencies. This is where MMatcher comes in.
Test on Sony MDR-7506: Correcting the Frequency Response
The Sony MDR-7506 headphones are a great choice for studio work, but they’re not perfect for every situation. Like many studio headphones, they have a frequency response that can skew how you perceive a mix, especially when working with fine details. To correct this, I decided to try out MMatcher, the new plugin released today.
With MMatcher, the process was incredibly simple. I selected the Sony MDR-7506 from the plugin’s headphone database, and with just a click, MMatcher applied a custom EQ curve to correct the headphones’ frequency response. The result? A much more balanced sound, with a flatter response that allowed me to work on mixes with more confidence. No exaggerated highs or lacking lows – the sound was much more natural and accurate.
Other Features of MMatcher
But MMatcher isn’t just about correcting the frequency response of headphones. This plugin has many other cool features:
- Headphone Correction for Various Models
- MMatcher supports a wide range of studio headphones, including famous models like the Sony MDR-7506, Audio-Technica ATH-M50, Beyerdynamic DT 770, and more. You can select the specific model you’re using, and the plugin will automatically correct the frequency response for you.
- Advanced Customization
- Not only can you choose a preset headphone model, but you can also fine-tune the EQ curve to match your ear or listening preferences. This flexibility is fantastic for those who need precise control over their sound.
- Impedance Matching
- MMatcher also lets you correct the impedance of your headphones, which is really useful if you’re using different headphones with the same audio interface. This helps optimize the sound, preventing any distortion caused by impedance mismatching.
- Headphone-to-Monitor Simulation
- Another great feature of MMatcher is its ability to simulate the sound of studio monitors directly on your headphones. This is a huge advantage when working on the go or in environments where traditional monitors aren’t available.
- Ease of Use
- Despite all the advanced features, MMatcher is surprisingly easy to use. You don’t need to be an EQ expert to get good results. Simply select your headphone model, and the plugin takes care of the rest. The interface is clean and intuitive, making it accessible even for beginners.
