Trinnov Interview - New Altitude CI - Stunning new Paris HQ details revealeD
Have you ever wondered what happens when you place 22 identical speakers around a dining room in Versailles? For Trinnov Audio founder Arnaud Laborie, this experiment revealed how dramatically speaker placement affects sound reproduction, sparking a revolution in 3D audio processing that continues to this day.
David Meyerowitz takes us through Trinnov's fascinating journey from its early experiments to its current position as an audio processing innovator. The company's philosophy centres on high spatial resolution through multiple speakers, with their Optimizer technology correcting phase and impulse response issues that acoustic treatments alone cannot address. "For me, it's not a race," David explains about their methodical approach to development, "it's about supporting people if I can."
Trinnov is entering an exciting new chapter with the upcoming release of their Altitude CI processor at CEDIA Denver. This innovative product embraces audio-over-IP technology, replacing traditional analogue connections with network-based distribution for greater flexibility and simplified wiring. Meanwhile, construction continues on their groundbreaking new Paris headquarters—a purpose-built facility featuring an 8x8x8 meter anechoic chamber, variable acoustic labs, and multiple demo spaces. The building itself reflects Trinov's attention to detail, with Arnaud personally selecting from dozens of concrete finish samples to achieve the perfect aesthetic.
Beyond the technology, we explore David's participation in the 55-mile London to Brighton charity bike ride for Together For Cinema, which creates cinema rooms in children's hospices. In true enthusiast fashion, David plans to extend his journey to 280 miles by cycling from his Suffolk home to the starting line and back again afterwards. His dedication mirrors Trinnov's commitment to pushing boundaries while giving back to the community.
