Trinnov Audio will demonstrate how its Waveforming technology can improve reproduction of low frequencies at booth 4233 in the Colorado Convention Centre on September 7-9, 2023.
The audio manufacturer’s demo theatre brings together Ascendo, madVR Labs, Kaleidescape, Barco, Seymour-Screen Excellence and Officina Acustica to show an immersive experience for home cinema.
WaveForming technology eliminates the effect of room modes that makes accurate low-frequency reproduction difficult. WaveForming combines a new algorithm and new home theatre design guidelines to effectively reduce low-frequency problems inherent to small rooms.
WaveForming requires the use of multiple subwoofers on both the front and back walls of the room. The specific locations are determined by the room dimensions and the desired bandwidth coverage. Trinnov’s CEDIA 13.1.6 Dolby Atmos system incorporates multiple 21-in Ascendo subwoofers to enable demonstrations of WaveForming’s performance when using widely varying subwoofer configurations.
Arnaud Laborie, Trinnov CEO and co-founder, said: “Our new technology can elevate the performance of home cinemas to a previously unobtainable level. The challenge of accurate reproduction of low frequencies in small rooms has historically been addressed with band-aid approaches that do not resolve the underlying physical problems. WaveForming takes a fundamental approach that effectively eliminates the standing waves that are the persistent challenge.”
Trinnov will host three different demonstrations each with a different arrangement of subwoofers in the front and back of the room to highlight how the arrays do not have to be identical. Separate from the Trinnov demonstration, attendees will also be able to experience WaveForming in the Alcons Audio demo system in CEDIA Sound Room 9.
On September 7 from 9-11am Laborie will present a class titled ‘Next Generation Bass’. He will explain room modes and their negative impact on room acoustics, along with a discussion on solutions for integrators.
Registration is available on the CEDIA Expo website.
