What's unique about the brand
What reviewers are saying
We read all the reviews. Here's what reviewers feel most strongly about:
- Trinnov's core technology, the Optimizer, utilizes a sophisticated 3D microphone system to perform detailed time- and frequency-domain measurements of the listening environment, enabling precise room correction and speaker optimization.
- The brand's products stand out for their ability to remap speaker locations virtually, correcting for less-than-ideal placements and creating a more accurate and immersive soundstage.
- Unlike many processors relying on fixed DSP chips, Trinnov utilizes a software-based architecture on an Intel platform, offering flexibility through software updates and support for the latest audio formats and features.
- They offer extensive customization options, including fully assignable channels, comprehensive bass management, and target curve adjustments, allowing users to fine-tune the audio to their specific tastes and room characteristics.
Our favorite reviewer quotes:
- "But as soon as you turn it on, the soundfield is transformed, the room itself disappears, and the audio displays a complete sense of realism." (https://www.homecinemachoice.com/content/trinnov-altitude16-home-cinema-processor-review)
- "When corrected though, suddenly, the speakers weren't fighting the room, and it was as if the loudspeaker, room and system had all been upgraded. The soundstage opened out, the bass was tidy and ordered, sounds had more snap, more air, more everything." (https://hifiplus.com/articles/trinnov-amethyst-preamp)
- "The Altitude16 creates an enormous sound field that engulfs the viewer. Imaging is extraordinary, sounds seemingly emanating from fixed points of space around the viewer, rather than the loudspeakers." (https://www.stereonet.com/sg/reviews/trinnov-audio-altitude16-16-channel-av-processor-review)
- "As you will soon read, the Amethyst sound quality was so exceptional that there was little doubt in my mind that I'd buy it regardless of the noise. It is linear and smooth across the frequencies, so nothing pops out of the sound stage unexpectedly and unnaturally."
