As we approach the end of 2024, we’d like to take a moment to reflect on an eventful year for Trinnov.
This year brought its share of challenges, but it was also marked by remarkable achievements made possible through the dedication of our team, partners, and community around the world.
2024 marks the public roll-out of WaveForming, as well as impactful releases improving the technology with Pressurization mode. Many resources have also been developed to facilitate its implementation. Our R&D efforts have only reinforced during the year, with an expanded dedicated team and our new headquarters on their way.
Last but not least, the pro market with NOVA had a really great year, and is now widely adopted around the globe.
Trinnov Trailers
Enjoy Truly Immersive Sound and Visceral Bass
Before listing all the achievements from our team that have only benefitted Trinnov customers, let's mention the public release of a complete collection of exclusive trailers produced in-house and with industry partners.
In August, we published a webpage allowing anyone to download 9 trailers for free.
Le Son par Trinnov
These trailers, now played in commercial theaters, multiple showrooms and at trade shows showcase what a high-performance immersive sound system can achieve, whilst revealing potential acoustic or loudspeaker limitations.
In other words, great reference tracks for anyone to evaluate their system's performance, also available on the Kaleidescape store.
Join the more than 10 000 people who already downloaded our trailers.
WaveForming
New pressurization mode
A year after the introduction of WaveForming and its unique way of controlling wave propagation, we introduced WaveForming’s Pressurization mode, which we demonstrated at ISE 2024.
Public release
WaveForming was first selectively released in 2023 to expert partners and a few qualified beta testers with a demanding, professional and methodical approach.
In May 2024, we revealed less demanding implementations of WaveForming, still achieving game-changing improvements in terms of decay control.
In August 2024, we made the technology available to all Altitude16 and Altitude32 users, as a free software update.
Following this public release, our CEDIA 2024 demonstration was acclaimed by the critic, and will remain as one of the most awarded demo of the tradeshow.
WaveForming Resources
We want to make sure that everyone can get the best results out of WaveForming after implementing it.
Therefore, we created several educational contents to guide you through the implementation of the technology:
WaveForming Online Design Tool: this online tool simplifies the process of specifying room layouts that are scientifically sound and tailored to deliver the exceptional WaveForming audio experience.
WaveForming tutorials: We created a series of video tutorials explaining the implementation procedure step-by-step. Check out our WaveForming Tutorials YouTube Playlist to learn more.
WaveForming Achievements
Beyond the multiple best technology awards it won, Trinnov already made a lasting difference to the industry in just under 2 years:
- Within less than 6 months, WaveForming has been implemented in hundreds of projects and has proven to achieve significant improvements over a standard calibration every single time, no matter the nature of the subwoofer implementation.
- WaveForming showrooms exist on all continents where home theater designers fully embraced this new paradigm, designing WaveForming home theaters for years to come.
- The Cinema Designer has included WaveForming placement guidelines into its tool, to help accelerate WaveForming's adoption.
- Prestigious loudspeaker and subwoofer manufacturers such as Ascendo have already released specific subwoofers to accommodate the requirements of our technology, and more are known to be released from other partners.
We would like to thank everyone for the great support through this incredible journey.
Pro Audio Breakthroughs
NOVA's international adoption
Our processor NOVA has been widely adopted around the globe, going from famous mixers/mastering engineers to bedroom producers!
Since it's launch in 2023, NOVA now gives users even more flexibility, control, and seamless integration. You can now switch between bypass mode (with just a few samples of latency), and full optimization of the system at the touch of a button. This makes NOVA a perfect solution for tracking!
Park Road Post Production
This year in pro audio was also marked by the adoption of the Optimizer by Park Road Post Production, in New Zealand.
Following Skywalker Sound last year, we are proud to add such a prestigious post production facility to our customers list.
Owned by Peter Jackson, Park Road Post Production is home to The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and King Kong and a facility where many Hollywood productions are mixed in Dolby Atmos for Theatrical release.
Research & Development focus
Trinnov New HQ
After announcing our new headquarters in 2023, the construction of the future Trinnov Campus is ongoing. We are very excited to share the result when this massive project is finalized. It will be a new innovation hub in the active acoustics world.
Out of a total area of 4500m2, the facility will feature no less than 1000m2 of acoustic and listening spaces, including 450m2 of laboratories and 500m2 of showroom and training space.
R&D team expansion
Our R&D team has significantly expanded during 2024. Amongst the 65 passionate team members working in the company from 6 different time zones, no less than 40% of them are part of the R&D department in France, split between the software, hardware and research teams.
What's next?
Solid foundations are being laid to ensure Trinnov an even more prosperous future, with even more innovation in audio processing.
We look forward to continuing this adventure and adding the next chapters to our story. We are excited to share more about the exciting plans we have in store for 2025!
In the meantime, we wish you a joyful and prosperous new year and look forward to connecting with you soon, whether at industry events or training sessions.
