Trinnov Makes WaveForming Publicly Available to All Altitude Owners – And It’s Free

(August 15,2024) First announced at ISE 2023, Trinnov’s WaveForming low-end room correction software has spent the last 19 months wowing ears at expos and more than a dozen demo rooms around the world. During that time, the company’s brain trust has continued to hone the technology, crafting variations that address different kinds of rooms, including those with as few as four subwoofers. They’ve also launched an online design tool that takes the guesswork out of design considerations, ultimately optimizing any given room layout to best take advantage of WaveForming technology.

With all the hype and hoopla, Trinnov processor owners have been left to salivate on the sidelines, eagerly awaiting the software’s official release for public consumption. Today, that wait is over, as Trinnov is releasing a free software upgrade that brings WaveForming to Altitude gear. The company says it will also be a default feature on all future Altitude products.

Born from more than seven years of in-house research, WaveForming is a proprietary room correction technology that specifically tackles low-frequency reproduction. When properly applied, it creates clear and detailed bass that's presented evenly across an entire room – that means you can say goodbye to dreaded peaks and nulls that can wreak havoc on a bass presentation. Unlike conventional acoustic design methods, WaveForming shifts the focus from merely treating room acoustics to proactively shaping them. It does so by leaning on advanced algorithms to optimize the interaction between multiple subwoofers and a listening environment.

Having had an opportunity to hear WaveForming in action during CEDIA 2023 and at Trinnov’s grand opening of its US Headquarters, I can confirm that it excels at crafting exceptionally tight and impactful bass; it truly is a revolutionary technology that tames bass without breaking a sweat.

In support of WaveForming's public release, Trinnov has created the following free design tools to support user implementation:

• WaveForming Subwoofer Placement Guidelines are in-depth design guidelines to validate equipment positioning or verify whether an existing system is compatible with WaveForming.
• WaveForming Design Tool is a web-based software that assists in subwoofer placement for new installations.
• Trinnov Audio - WaveForming Guidelines Explained is a comprehensive on-demand webinar.

These and other support resources can be found on Trinnov's own comprehensive WaveForming Resources Page.

Trinnov says it's encouraging dealers to download the latest Altitude software update as soon as possible. Current Altitude owners with compatible audio systems should contact their dealer to enable WaveForming on their existing system and schedule calibration services.

CEDIA Expo attendees can experience WaveForming in person at a live demonstration at Trinnov's Booth, #2938. Arnaud Laborie will also offer an in-depth exploration of the acoustic principles behind WaveForming in the seminar “Room Mode Elimination and Low Frequency Extension with Active Acoustics,” taking place on September 4 as part of the CEDIA Expo Conference (registration required).
