Trinnov Audio has updated its WaveForming technology, adding a patent-pending Pressurization mode to the solution that debuted at ISE 2023 last year.

The company’s leading active acoustic technology will be revealed in an active 13.14.6 channel home cinema system at ISE 2024 in partnership with Krix, Officina Acustica and Barco.

Pressurization adds to the range of active acoustic technologies from Trinnov Audio, making available, for the first time, a dedicated technology to address each of the different acoustic behaviours in home cinema rooms.

‘WaveForming – Pressurization’ leverages the power of every subwoofer installed in the room in compliance with WaveForming’s subwoofer placement guidelines, maximising the performance of the system below the room’s first mode, adding impact, pressure and efficiency, including infrasonic bass.

‘WaveForming – Propagation’ does not merely mitigate but eliminates the room’s modal response between the first mode and up to 150Hz, where room modes are the most problematic. In this region, the acoustics are perfectly predictable from a physical standpoint, which enables WaveForming to control 100% of the sound field and simply remove room modes.

Propagation leverages multiple exclusive concepts from Trinnov, including Multiple Sources and Multiple Controllers.

The Optimizer performs several functions. It uses both Pressurization and Propagation modes of WaveForming to achieve global balance and optimal performance in the time and frequency domains across the entire bandwidth.

Furthermore, it mitigates broader acoustic issues which are more perceptual and complex, ranging from electron-acoustic problems such as active-crossover alignment and diffraction issues to psychoacoustic issues. It does this by treating the direct sound, early reflection and power responses of the room (diffuse field) with multiple appropriate techniques.
