Trinnov Audio announced that WaveForming is now publicly available on the Altitude line of audio processors. The company says this room optimization technology allows audio professionals and enthusiasts to achieve equal bass performance and consistency across the listening space. WaveForming will be a default feature of all future Altitude products and can be enabled on existing Altitude processers via a free software upgrade.

The product of more than seven years of research, Trinnov says WaveForming has become one of the most awarded new software products in custom electronics industry history. Trinnov has validated and refined WaveForming parameters using feedback from an 18-month Early Access Program. Now, this technology is available to all Altitude owners for the first time.

WaveForming has evolved to encompass a variety of subwoofer layouts, including conventional layouts with as few as four subwoofers. This design flexibility makes WaveForming feasible for a wide range of spaces and budgets, according to the company.

In support of the software’s public release, Trinnov has created free design tools to support WaveForming implementation:

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

These and other support resources can be found on the comprehensive WaveForming Resources Page.

Trinnov says WaveForming employs immersive audio system design best practices and a proprietary algorithm to produce accurate low-frequency sound across the entire listening area, even in rooms with challenging acoustics. Using a unique active acoustics approach that eliminates room modes rather than attempting to minimize their effects, WaveForming achieves unprecedented bass uniformity, impact, clarity and detail.

Leveraging the WaveForming algorithm and optimal subwoofer placement for each room, Trinnov says integrators can consistently meet and exceed the highest standards for bass audio consistency. WaveForming controls include coverage uniformity performance benchmarks from CEDIA’s RP22 Immersive Audio System Design Recommended Practice, allowing users to model and verify system performance. The optimal subwoofer placement guidelines allow flexibility, while the Altitude user interface combines controls with fine-tuning capabilities, allowing the experience to be further tailored to the end user’s physical environment and personal preferences.

Trinnov says its dealers are encouraged to download the latest Altitude software update to begin implementing WaveForming now. Current Altitude owners with compatible audio systems should contact their dealer to enable WaveForming on their existing system and schedule calibration services.
