Which SPHERE should I buy?

Mixing in stereo, with or without a sub: SPHERE Stereo covers source and speaker switching, calibration and bass management.
Working in 5.1 or 7.1: SPHERE Surround adds the larger I/O count, downmix tools, Apple Spatial rendering and Fusion for combining audio interfaces.
Building or running a Dolby Atmos room: SPHERE Immersive handles layouts up to 9.1.6, and Fusion lets you reach the output count with the interfaces you already own.
Perpetual or Unlimited: perpetual licences are a one-off purchase with 1 activation and minor updates. Unlimited plans run for a fixed term with 2 activations, major updates, and the Authentic Audio and LINK add-ons included.
"+ LINK" bundles: choose these if you want to send audio from DAW channels into SPHERE without setting up virtual audio devices.
