Tuned to the room.

Proud to recommend Trinnov, Barco and QSC for cinema sound. The room comes first, so we measure it, tune it, and put in the processor that fits. Here is what we rack, and the full specifications.

Trinnov

Trinnov Ovation2

Great cinema sound starts with the room. The Ovation2 measures every loudspeaker and the space around it, then aligns time, phase and frequency so the mix the filmmaker approved is the mix the audience hears.

Introduced in 2019 as the successor to the 2013 Ovation, it keeps Trinnov's guided calibration and adds dual touch screens, a re-designed power supply, and up to 24 output channels for extra subwoofers or surround speakers in a 5.1 or 7.1 room. Trinnov designs and builds its own audio boards, so fidelity stays under their control from input to output.

What does the Trinnov Ovation2 do?
It is a digital cinema processor that measures the loudspeakers and the room, then aligns time, phase and frequency to deliver clear dialogue, tight bass and accurate playback. It supports 5.1 and 7.1 layouts and up to 24 output channels.
How many channels does the Ovation2 support?
Up to 16 balanced analog outputs as standard, expandable to 24 with the optional output board, plus 16 channels of AES digital. That headroom lets a cinema add extra subwoofers or surround speakers to a 5.1 or 7.1 room.

Barco

Barco mFusion ICMP-XS

One box, fewer points of failure. The mFusion ICMP-XS combines a cinema media server, a 5.1 / 7.1 audio processor and a streaming device, so a screen that used to need a rack of separate units runs from a single integrated processor.

It plays, ingests and transfers content at the same time, handles up to 2D 4K96 and 3D 4K48, and carries audio over AES3, AES67 and AoIP. It runs the same interface as the Barco Series 4 projectors, controllable from the projector's touch display, a computer or a handheld, so projection and sound share one workflow.
