From RME
NOVA is set to be the new must-have in the music industry. Compact, powerful and flexible, it will fit in your studio or in your backpack and prove to be the most essential piece of equipment in your studio.
Optimizer technology is arguably the most efficient supercharger for your mixes. With its softer price tag, NOVA makes this essential technology more accessible to music makers.
Yet, NOVA is not just an Optimizer, it is the backbone of your entire monitoring system.
Work faster and better with Trinnov's Optimizer
From renowned sound engineers to loudspeaker manufacturers, Loudspeaker/Room Optimization is being fast adopted by the music industry. This area of acoustic research has been our main focus and expertise since 2005. We are recognized as the undisputed leader in this field.
NOVA gives you access to our cutting-ege Trinnov Optimizer technology. Change the way you work and never look back. Stop second-guessing and start focusing on music.
Upgrade from 2 to 6 channels
NOVA is very modular, allowing you to upgrade from 2 to 6 channels through a simple software update.
Whether you add a subwoofer, a second pair of monitors or upgrade to 5.1, all you need to do is purchase additional licenses from your local Trinnov dealer and unlock your NOVA in just a few clicks.
Comprehensive Monitor Controller
Packed in a shallow 1U chassis, NOVA is deceptively powerful and covers all your monitoring needs from stereo to 5.1
NOVA handles analog and digital signals like no other monitor controller. Connect, align and seamlessly switch between sources and multiple sets of monitors, regardless of their format or connection.
Avid EUCON compliant and fully compatible with La Remote, NOVA allows advanced monitoring control and can easily be integrated to your production tools. It can be set up either as a full monitoring controller or as an embedded audio insert processing toolbox in the loudspeaker path.
Dante and AoIP
As a Dante device, connect NOVA easily within your audio network with low latency (down to 250 microseconds for the Dante network, >25ms for the processing).
You can also use NOVA as your main audio interface along with the Dante Virtual Soundcard for direct DAW-to-monitoring integration.
The Trinnov App
With NOVA, the Trinnov User Experience changes dramatically.
The first step is to download the Trinnov desktop application to update your software and/or install your software licenses.
The app automatically finds your NOVA on the local network and gives you direct access to its user interface.
Streamlined user experience
The Optimizer technlogy is very sophisticated and powerful, but we made it simple to use thanks to a completely redesigned user interface.
Our new modern web interface comes with built-in help and a clear menu structure. Using NOVA should be self-explantory, including a setup procedure that will guide you through the process step by step.
New Hardware platform
NOVA is the first of a new generation of Trinnov products, based on an entirely redesigned platform, which combines greater modularity, higher performance, enhanced reliability and native support for Audio over IP.
Improved 3D microphone
We improved the measurement microphone with your needs in mind for maximum efficiency, simplicity, and reliability.
It is now equipped with phantom power, integrated memory and automated steps to facilitate calibration removing the need to manually input compensation files.
New DAC and Audio Core
One of the most important development was the redesign of our main audio board, the Trinnov Audio Core. This new core is not only more powerful, it is also 5 times smaller and efficient. It effectively handles the audio processing and removes the need of an additional computing section and fans.
The AD/DA section has also been redesigned around ESS Sabre chipsets. Noise and distortion levels have been reduced at all frequencies, allowing for more accurate monitoring.
