Trinnov Audio has announced the release of AltitudeCI, a fully networked, Audio-over-IP processor designed specifically for the custom integration market. Scalable, flexible, and compact, AltitudeCI delivers premium immersive audio for projects ranging from high-end media rooms to DCI-grade private cinemas.
AltitudeCI is the first processor in its class to offer native support for both Dante and Ravenna/AES67. 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 brings Trinnov’s performance within reach for a wider range of premium installations: it introduces 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.
AltitudeCI includes Trinnov’s full suite of proprietary active acoustics technologies, including:
- Optimizer: 3D room and speaker correction system that precisely calibrates phase, EQ, level, and delay.
- WaveForming: Trinnov’s low-frequency optimization tool that actively eliminates room modes for impactful bass and unprecedented seat-to-seat consistency.
- Remapping: Ensures 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: powerful architecture that enables exceptional audio fidelity and future-ready expansion potential.
The streamlined 2RU chassis includes eight analog outputs, ideal for active subwoofer WaveForming applications or 7.1 systems. HDMI support (4 in, 2 out) ensures compatibility with matrix-based video systems. AltitudeCI 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 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 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. Together, AltitudeCI and Amplitude16 form a fully digital, networked signal chain in just 5 RU, delivering audiophile-grade performance with maximum rack efficiency.
New Design & Pricing Tool for Integrators
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.
AltitudeCI at CEDIA Expo
Trinnov will debut the AltitudeCI at CEDIA Expo 2025. Attendees are invited to experience the AltitudeCI at the Trinnov High Performance Audio room (HPA 208), 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 2:00 PM MT. Seating is limited to 50 participants; attendees can reserve a spot by registering at hub.trinnov.com/cedia2025.
AltitudeCI will ship in Q4 2025.
