Trinnov Audio has introduced Optimizer ST, a stereo loudspeaker processor featuring exclusive Trinnov digital room correction technology. They tell us that this new loudspeaker processor can be used to optimize the monitor's behaviour in any room in order to achieve accurate sound reproduction, and consistent mixes from one room to another. Optimizer ST will be showcased at this year's Musikmesse in hall 5.1 stand D58. Here's all the details from the Trinnov press release...
Optimizer ST uses exactly the same "digital acoustics engine" that has established Trinnov's reputation as helping sound engineers to achieve translatable mixes in 5.1 control rooms and post-production theatres around europe. It combines automatic and manual room equalization with impulse response acoustic measurements and cutting-edge time-frequency analysis.
The Optimizer ST not only offers unique room EQ features such as target curves and automatic phase optimization. It includes all the functionality that you expect from a loudspeaker processor, such as delays, gains, crossovers and manual EQs (graphic and parametric).
For 2-way and 3-way systems the Optimizer's automatic crossover alignement functionality ensures unmatched sound performance while dramatically reducing the effort required to setup gains and delays on each way. The integrated Bass Management automatically adjusts delays on each satellite to ensure optimal overlapping with the subwoofer. Last but not least, a best-of-breed monitor controller can be built by connecting third party volume knobs and/or touch-screens to the Optimizer ST.
"We are happy to extend our market reach with this new stereo Optimizer that builds on the success of his multichannel older brother," says sales & marketing director Felipe Avila-Reyes. "Thanks to the latest Intel Atom chips we are able to offer a loudspeaker processor that is miles ahead of the competition and at a very competitive price. Demanding producers and engineers in broadcast, post-production facilities will greatly benefit from the confidence that Optimizer ST brings to their daily work. But we also believe that serious audiophiles will value the accurate tonal balance and soundstage achieved by the Optimizer ST. After all, this is all about achieving top quality mixes from the production room to the consumer's living room."
