The new AltitudeCI processor expands the already considerable home theater range from the French company, being the first processor in its class to offer native support for both Dante and Ravenna/AES67, for seamless compatibility across consumer and professional audio infrastructures. This “best of both worlds” architecture enables direct integration with Dolby Atmos and DCI servers via AES67, while managing output through Dante without the need for external converters.
“AltitudeCI makes Trinnov performance available to more projects than ever before,” explains Arnaud Laborie, Trinnov Audio Co-Founder and CEO. “This is the one platform integrators can rely on for every immersive audio project, regardless of scale, infrastructure, or performance demands.”
According also to Trinnov, the new AltitudeCI brings renowned performance within reach for a wider range of premium installations by introducing a modular licensing model that allows integrators to specify channel count in 2-channel increments. AltitudeCI is available in configurations from 8 to 32 channels, with a custom 64-channel version arriving in 2026. Upgrades can be activated remotely via Trinnov’s extranet, maximizing long-term flexibility.
The new custom integration solution also includes Trinnov’s full suite of proprietary active acoustics technologies, including the company’s Optimizer 3D room and speaker correction system that precisely calibrates phase, EQ, level, and delay, as well as WaveForming, Trinnov’s low-frequency optimization tool that actively eliminates room modes.
The new AltitudeCI also features Remapping, to ensure accurate immersive format rendering, even in acoustically or architecturally compromised rooms. These technologies are delivered via Trinnov’s exclusive software-based platform with 64-bit floating-point processing. A powerful architecture that enables exceptional audio fidelity and future-ready expansion potential.
The streamlined AltitudeCI chassis is built with installers in mind. In just 2 rack units, it includes eight analog outputs, ideal for active subwoofer WaveForming applications or 7.1 systems; and HDMI support (4 in, 2 out) to ensure compatibility with matrix-based video systems. The new processor also has three independently configurable Ethernet ports, including two with SFP cages, supporting robust network architectures with separated or redundant control, audio, and service traffic.
System setup has been streamlined as well: The newly redesigned Altitude user interface features a guided calibration workflow, making Trinnov’s powerful tuning tools more user-friendly while preserving expert-level control.
AltitudeCI and Amplitude16 with Dante
To complete the AoIP ecosystem, Trinnov now offers an optional Dante input board for the existing Amplitude16 multichannel amplifier. This addition enables end-to-end AoIP signal flow from processor to amplifier. The input board uses the same high-performance DAC architecture as the Altitude line, preserving signal integrity and achieving exceptional dynamic range.
The Amplitude16 features an inherently quiet design, unequalled by commercial AoIP amplifiers but essential for high-performance audio applications. Together, the new AltitudeCI and the existing Amplitude16 form a fully digital, networked signal chain in just 5RU, delivering high-end audio performance with maximum rack efficiency.
To support integrators in specifying solutions based on the AltitudeCI platform, Trinnov will also launch a new AoIP design and pricing tool. By inputting basic project details — such as speaker and subwoofer counts, active crossover configuration, and amplification bridging requirements — integrators can instantly generate a recommended AltitudeCI configuration and Amplitude16 amplifier requirements with transparent pricing.
Trinnov will demonstrate the AltitudeCI at CEDIA Expo 2025 in Denver, Colorado, September 4–6. Attendees are invited to experience the AltitudeCI at the Trinnov High Performance Audio room (HPA208), with live demos, full system tours, and one-on-one partner consultations. Trinnov will also offer a free training session on AltitudeCI on September 3 at 2 p.m. local time. Seating is limited to 50 participants; attendees can reserve a spot by registering at hub.trinnov.com/cedia2025.
The new AltitudeCI processor will ship in Q4 2025.
