Released earlier this year, the Amplitude16 from Trinnov Audio has been named EISA Best Product 2022-2023.
Completing Trinnov’s range of AV processors and amplifiers, the Amplitude16 is designed specifically to meet the various needs of immersive sound and marries perfectly with the Altitude processor platform.
According to EISA’s president, Paul Miller: “As modern movie sound formats demand more loudspeakers, system builders require more amplification. Trinnov’s Amplitude16 answers the call, wrapping 16 channels (rated at 200W/8ohm) in a rack-sized, all-metal chassis that’s a smart cosmetic match for its multichannel Altitude16 processor.
“The unit’s two eight-channel modules, designed in collaboration with Class D specialist ICEPower and fed by independent power supplies, deliver an astonishingly dynamic performance. In practice, the Amplitude16 blends controlled, deep bass with effortless speed and purity of tone – it’s a high-end powerhouse that will get the best from any loudspeaker system and marks a thrilling addition the Trinnov fleet.”
This is the third time the company has received an EISA Award; just over a year after introducing the Altitude32 in 2016, Trinnov received its first EISA Award recognising the achievement of their engineering team in creating what remains today as the Reference High-End AV Processor.
In 2020, the entire Altitude platform, including the Altitude32 and Altitude16, received the award for Best Product in the Home Theatre High-End category.
“Performance and sustainability are at the heart of our design philosophy, and we are pleased to be able to offer a complete and consistent package that will increase the overall performance of our customers’ home cinemas,” said Arnaud Laborie, Trinnov’s co-founder and CEO. “The addition of a very cost-effective, high-performance and versatile 16-channel power amplifier such as the Amplitude16 to our range of award-winning and industry-leading processors is a logical step that increases Trinnov’s impact on the industry. I’d also like to acknowledge that ICEPower has been a great partner and delivered the performance that we required in the Amplitude16.”
