Trinnov AltitudeCi Networked AV Preamplifier Processor

Trinnov AltitudeCi Networked AV Preamplifier Processor

AltitudeCI brings Trinnov’s exclusive active acoustics technologies to the world of custom integration, with native support for DanteⓇ and AES67, a scalable channel count, and a network architecture built to meet the demands of the most challenging environments.

Built for Scalable, Networked Integration

Dual AoIP Support for Maximum Compatibility

AltitudeCI supports both AES67 and DanteⓇ natively — combining the interoperability and precision required in DCI and pro audio environments with the simplicity and plug-and-play integration that Dante offers, including direct connection to digital amplifiers like the Amplitude16.

Three Ethernet Ports, Fiber-Ready

Featuring three independently configurable Ethernet ports — one RJ45 and two SFP cages (fiber or copper) — AltitudeCI adapts to any network scenario. These ports support redundant AoIP streams, segregated networks, or integrated switch mode for optimal flexibility and reliability.

From 8 to 64 Channels, Step by Step

Available from 8 to 32 outputs, configurable in 2-channel steps to match each project precisely. For larger systems, a 64-channel build-to-order model with enhanced hardware will be offered from 2026 for demanding, large-scale installations.

Built for Any System Configuration

AltitudeCI offers unmatched output flexibility with 8 balanced analog outputs, up to 32 channels of AES/EBU digital audio (input and output), and native Audio over IP support via DanteⓇ and AES67.

No optional I/O cards or external A/D or D/A converters are required, thanks to its flexible routing matrix, which lets integrators build hybrid systems that combine analog, digital, and networked outputs.

Tailored Configurations for Every Project

From high-end stereo setups to DCI-grade private cinemas, AltitudeCI adapts to nearly any project — with channel configurations available from 8 to 32 outputs, adjustable in 2-channel increments, and built-to-order models supporting up to 64 channels starting in 2026.

Whether you’re designing a compact media room or a multi-row theater with 30+ speakers, AltitudeCI offers the performance, routing freedom, and format precision required for today’s most ambitious installations.

The examples below illustrate common use cases, each system can be tailored precisely to your project’s requirements.

Built on the same core architecture across all models, it’s a platform that scales with your vision.

Reliable Integration, Comprehensive Control

AltitudeCI is engineered to fit seamlessly into modern smart home and cinema ecosystems. It supports IR (3,5mm jack input, receiver provided), RS232, and IP control, works with the Trinnov App (iOS, Android, macOS, or Windows) and web interface, and includes certified drivers for all major control platforms (Crestron, Savant, Control4, RTI, AMX, Nice, AVA).

Installers can take advantage of 4 programmable trigger outputs, energy-saving standby and fast boot modes (hardware ready), as well as remote servicing via my.trinnov.audio — streamlining both system deployment and long-term maintenance.

Compact 2RU Chassis

With its sleek 2RU chassis, AltitudeCI matches the aesthetic of the Altitude and Amplitude ranges, enabling elegant, uniform rack installations that reflect the same attention to detail found throughout the Trinnov ecosystem.

Its compact format is perfectly suited for luxury environments, yachts, or any space-conscious installation where both performance and visual harmony matter. This design allows for easy stacking with other Trinnov components, simplifying installation while maintaining a premium look — whether in technical rooms or visible equipment areas.

Simplified Professional User Interface

Trinnov’s new interface guides you through setup and calibration with step-by-step wizards — powerful, yet easy. Everything is now where it should be: at your fingertips, for maximum efficiency. Need more control? Expert mode unlocks full access to advanced features. Fully multilingual, password-ready*, and now consistent across all Trinnov products, it’s the next-generation Trinnov experience. *UI password lock to be enabled in a future update.

More Than Compatible — Made for Amplitude16

AltitudeCI pairs perfectly with the Amplitude16 — whether using the 8 analog outputs or expanding via Audio over IP.

With the optional Dante input board, the Amplitude16 enables greater routing flexibility than DB25 cables — especially when bridging channels.

Both the Altitude processors and the Amplitude16 Dante input board use the same high-performance DAC architecture, ensuring identical conversion quality and full transparency, even when the DAC stage moves closer to the loudspeakers.

Few amplifiers combine audiophile performance with the flexibility of AoIP. Amplitude16 completes a system that’s optimized — technically and sonically.

Front-Panel Touchscreen

AltitudeCI features a 5-inch front-panel touchscreen that provides real-time system status and access to essential operations — right at the rack.

Perfect for quick diagnostics or checking network settings, it lets integrators monitor system status and confirm everything is running normally — without a laptop or remote.

It serves as a practical built-in interface for routine checks, troubleshooting, and on-site control, while its flush design and smoked glass finish complement the AltitudeCI’s professional look.

Immersive Audio, Elevated by Trinnov

AltitudeCI natively supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X Pro, Auro-3D, and IMAX Enhanced, with full decoding, accurate object rendering, and maximum flexibility in assigning channels to speakers — regardless of system size or layout complexity.

But Trinnov goes further. With exclusive technologies like the Optimizer™, Remapping™, and WaveForming™, developed through years of in-house research, AltitudeCI delivers exceptional precision, spatial coherence, and acoustic control - fully leveraging the capabilities of today’s immersive formats.

Whether you’re building a compact media room or a large-scale auditorium, AltitudeCI delivers the full Trinnov experience, purpose-built for immersive sound.
