Trinnov and ASCENDO Bring Immersive Bass Demo to Audio Advice Live

Demo to feature Trinnov WaveForming and ASCENDO Immersive Audio subwoofers in Raleigh, North Carolina, from August 1-3.

Trinnov Audio and ASCENDO Immersive Audio GmbH are partnering to host an immersive home theater demonstration at Audio Advice Live 2025 in Raleigh, North Carolina. The demo will showcase the highest level of current audio technology, combining Trinnov’s research in acoustics and human sound perception with ASCENDO’s work in advancing the state-of-the-art in subwoofer design.

Trinnov and ASCENDO’s joint demonstration represents several “firsts” for Audio Advice Live:

  • This is the Audio Advice Live debut for Trinnov WaveForming, a low-frequency optimization technology that achieves unprecedented bass uniformity, impact, clarity, and detail for every listener position in a space.
  • ASCENDO is demonstrating at Audio Advice Live for the first time, showcasing German-engineered 16-inch active subwoofers.
  • In addition, ASCENDO will bring an infrasonic bass surprise to Audio Advice Live, giving attendees an experience they won’t just hear, but feel.

WaveForming

Home theater bass is notoriously difficult to control: the acoustics of relatively small, enclosed spaces produce sound reflections, peaks, and phase cancellations, resulting in troublesome room modes and an inconsistent experience among listeners. WaveForming is a new paradigm, delivering revolutionary bass power, performance, and unprecedented consistency to every seat.

Trinnov Altitude32 audio processor

WaveForming can be implemented with as few as four subwoofers, but for Audio Advice Live, Trinnov and ASCENDO have staged an especially impressive demonstration. The 25- x 25- x 8-foot Magnolia 2 demo room will feature Trinnov’s flagship Altitude32 audio processor and Amplitude16 amplifiers, as well as 12 ASCENDO THE16 SUB Active Sealed subwoofers. Six subwoofers will be positioned against the front wall and six against the back wall to enable planar WaveForming, Trinnov’s unique active acoustics approach that eliminates room modes rather than compensating for them.

WaveForming is available on all Trinnov Altitude audio processors and works with all  audio formats, including Dolby Atmos, DTS-X, AURO-3D, and DCP. Current Altitude owners with at least four subwoofers can enable WaveForming via a free software upgrade.

Low-Frequency Immersive Sound

Twelve ASCENDO 16-inch subwoofers will deliver a WaveForming bass experience the audience won’t soon forget. The company’s active 16-inch sealed sub design delivers exceptional punch, linearity, and output in an enclosure size that works beautifully for WaveForming systems. In addition to the 16-inch subwoofers, ASCENDO will bring an infrasonic surprise to the show to handle the really low frequencies.
