MC Pro – Trinnov Audio

SCALABLE HARDWARE

Trinnov MC Processors are based on a flexible hardware platform scalable from 4 to 64 channels.

Both AES8 and Analog8 standard configurations allow for 8 simultaneous I/O and 8 processing channels. Optional AES8 and/or ADA4 boards may be added to provide up to 16 simultaneous I/O channels. Alternatively, AES inputs can be configured for input source switching of 3 groups of 8 inputs (3xAES8).

Above 16 channels, the Trinnov Audio Core section can be replaced by a RME HDSP MADI interface that handles up to 64 digital I/Os.

LOUDSPEAKER PROCESSOR AND MONITOR CONTROLLER

The MC Processor is both:

A professional speaker processor: gains, delays, active crossovers, bass management, multiple manual FIR and graphic EQs, trims, routing matrix, monitor controller, clocking, presets recall, remote control, USB backup…

A monitoring controller: solo or mute any channel, control your master level, select different sources and translate any of them into different downmixes. Send GPIO commands to third-party equipment.

RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATIONS

Additional hardware and/or software modules can be added to meet your specific requirements:

ADA4 and/or AES8 expansion boards;
Optimizer and/or SmartMeter software modules

HARDWARE OPTIONS

ADA EXPANSION BOARDS

One ADA4 Expansion Board is adding 4 Analog I/O Channels of pristine AD/DA Conversion. A total of 4 ADA4 Expansion Boards can be installed on a single processor

AES8 EXPANSION BOARDS

One AES8 Expansion Board is adding 8 AES I/O Channels. Alternatively, AES inputs can be configured for input source switching of 3 groups of 8 inputs (3×8 unsimultaneous AES input channels)
A maximum of 2 AES8 Expansion Boards can be installed on a single processor. Each AES8 is connected to one TAC, an additionnal TAC is therefore needed to achieve 16 AES I/O

GPIO8I4O REMOTE OPTION

Permits Profiles recall from any external devices equiped with GPIO commands. 2 GPIO8I4O Expansion Boards can be installed on a single processor

BASIC CONFIGURATIONS

The MC Processor can be based on analog, AES or MADI audio interfaces:

The Analog8 configuration supports 8 simultaneous I/O and 8 processing channels. Optional AES8 and/or ADA4 boards may be added to provide up to 16 simultaneous I/O channels
The AES8 configuration supports 8 simultaneous I/O and 8 processing channels. Optional AES8 and/or ADA4 boards may be added to provide up to 16 simultaneous I/O channels. Alternatively, AES inputs can be configured for input source switching of 3 groups of 8 inputs (3xAES8)
The MADI-8 configuration uses an RME HDSP MADI interface that handles up to 64 digital I/Os

THE

THE INTEGRATED MONITORING SOLUTION

Over the past few years, Digital Television and Digital Cinema have transformed audio production workflows, setting multichannel audio as new standard while broadcast guidelines started to mention loudness normalization. This has made the recording, mixing and quality control processes even more challenging. Sound engineers have to deal with multiple formats and complex mixes that need to be fully compliant with restrictive industry recommendations. In addition, contents must translate seamlessly for a majority of listeners, on various and disparate set top boxes and audio devices.

Trinnov’s MC Processor precisely answers this need by gathering speaker processor capabilities, monitor management, editable downmix matrix, dynamic range control, acoustic analysis, loudspeaker/room optimization and EBU R128 compliant metering in a single and affordable device, therefore ensuring simplified workflow and integration.

A Trinnov should be the norm and not the exception and is arguably now probably THE new modern-day pro studio essential.

Even if you have an unlimited budget for speakers and room treatment, there are specific phase issues you can't get rid of, and for me, the Trinnov fixes those. So even if your room and speakers are state of the art, I believe you would see some serious improvement using a Trinnov.

Steve Kaplan (Score Mixer)

The most important thing is that my Trinnov saves me a lot of time, by letting me listen at a much lower volume it preserves my ears and lowers my ear fatigue, I now find myself getting more work done over shorter working days: truly a life saver.

The Trinnov complements the newly built acoustics to achieve further improvements in tonal balance, precise phantom images and very accurate bass. We can now align our control room for mixing in stereo, 5.1 ITU or 5.1 SMPTE simply by switching presets.

Ben Hooper UK Head of Audio for Prime Focus (London)

The before and after difference was remarkable, both tonally and in terms of the relative balances in the mixes we produced and their stereo imaging. The Trinnov has made me a lot more confident that I can take things to other rooms.
