Trinnov Microphone 3D etherCON

3D measurement microphone

A microphone designed for Trinnov: each of its capsules is individually calibrated (± 0.1 dB from 20 Hz to 24 kHz) to deliver the most accurate and reliable acoustic measurement. Because Trinnov leaves little to chance, the signal travels from capture to optimisation within a closed ecosystem, a Trinnov processor, rather than passing through different software, operating systems and audio interfaces.

This model features phantom power, built-in memory and automated steps that make calibration easier, with no need to load compensation files manually.

Four capsules in a tetrahedron

The 3D Mic combines four capsules arranged in a precise tetrahedral configuration. This layout lets the processor locate each loudspeaker in space, with ± 2° precision both horizontally and vertically, and measure its distance to within ± 1 cm. It also measures absolute level. The processor therefore knows the actual position of each loudspeaker, not just its frequency response, when optimising the system.

Automatic calibration

Each microphone is tested and measured at the factory. Its compensation file is stored in the microphone itself and transferred automatically to the processor during the calibration wizard. The microphone is powered directly by the processor, which also handles switching it on via the etherCON port.

Compatibility

This etherCON version is designed exclusively for the Trinnov NOVA and the Altitude CI, which have an etherCON calibration microphone input. It cannot be used on a 5-pin XLR input.
