The New Studio Essential

The Trinnov NOVA is set to become the new studio essential for music makers. Compact, powerful and flexible, it will be the most essential piece of equipment you’ve ever purchased.  

NOVA is not just an Optimiser, it’s the backbone of your entire monitoring system offering three main functions:

Loudspeaker / Room Optimiser

NOVA’s main feature is Trinnov’s exclusive room correction and acoustic optimisation technology, acclaimed by the most renowned sound engineers and music producers around the world. NOVA can process and optimise up to 6 speakers, including bass management. The backlit NOVA logo on the front panel indicates the Optimizer and calibration status.

High Quality I/O

NOVA comes with a comprehensive set of I/O to connect all your equipment in analogue, digital, or even DANTE. Trinnov’s latest DAC and ADC deliver crisp signals to your monitors and integrated headphone output. 

Monitor Controller

Nova is not just a digital acoustic processor, it’s also a comprehensive monitor controller with no limitations in mind. Seamlessly switch between analogue and digital sources and multiple speaker sets, regardless of their format or connection. Additionally, You can also create your own downmix profiles to check the phase and mono compatibility of your mixes.

Audio Interface

With fully integrated DANTE audio over IP I/O, NOVA can be your audio interface for direct DAW- to-monitoring integration with 8 inputs and 8 outputs to and from your DAW.

“A tool that allows you to get the job done without anything obscuring your vision. It takes the room out of the equation. For me, this is the way to get world-class results almost anywhere.”

– Pete Lyman, Mastering Engineer

New 3D Microphone

The measurement microphone has been improved with your needs in mind; simplicity and reliability. Now equipped with phantom power (no more batteries required) and integrated memory, a further streamlined calibration process is provided, removing the need to manually import the microphone compensation file. Additionally, it then connects to a dedicated etherCON port, and can be used with any CAT6 net

Further Compatibility

Being Avid EUCON compliant, NOVA allows for advanced monitor control and can easily be integrated into your production arrangement. It can be set up either as a full monitor controller with multiple speaker sets, source selection and summation, or, as a discreet embedded audio insert processing toolbox in the loudspeaker path. NOVA can be everything you require in a 1U box.

Bass Management

Subwoofer integration is a common challenge in studios. Yet, integrating subwoofers seamlessly still brings multiple benefits to all mixers and sound designers. NOVA handles this daunting task easily either over single or dual subwoofer configurations and lets you even share the same subwoofers across multiple monitor sets in an instant.

Upgradeable from 2 to 6 Channels

NOVA is Upgradable allowing you to increase the optimised outputs from the base model of 2 channels up to 4 or 6 channels with a simple licensing system. In order to proceed just get in touch to purchase an additional license through a simple software update.

Development

NOVA differs from the previous Trinnov products as its PC-less. Trinnov’s new Audio Core features an ARM processor that delivers the computational power required for full Trinnov processing of a limited number of channels. As a result, there is no need for an additional CPU, allowing it to operate completely “fanless.” In addition, one of the most significant advancements is the redesign of the Trinnov Audio Core, the central component of their audio products. The TAC2 is now five times smaller than its predecessor; however, it still offers enhanced features and improved performance.

User interface

Fueled with the desire to make using the NOVA more accessible for new users, a new, Windows or Mac compliant, interface was designed featuring reworked menu structures and help wheres its needed.A step-by-step guide was introduced to help new users quickly calibrate and get started. Moreover, an ‘Expert Mode’ feature was added, enabling users to access and manage all advanced settings with ease.

In conjunction, Trinnov Audio have produced an App that can control the NOVA wirelessly, provided they are on the same network. Take control of your processor’s main features, volume, dim, mute and preset selection. From the Trinnov app, you can also open a simple control window rather than the full user interface. For example, from controlling the volume to muting and dimming, the app will even let you change sources or trigger your favorite presets, just to name a few options.

La Remote

NOVA has full functionality with Trinnov Audios dedicated hardware controller ‘’La Remote’’. Through an easy drag ‘n’ drop web interface, personalize ‘’La Remote’’ to your workflow, and adjust the functions and labels of its seven buttons to suit your environment! Take control of every function of NOVA at the press of a button. Find out more here!
