Trinnov NOVA Sound On Sound Review - March 2025

In the March 2025 issue of Sound On Sound, writer Phil Ward offers up an impressive review of the Trinnov NOVA. Read Phil's full review here and check out some excerpts below:

"So, how does all this actually sound? In a word, excellent. Both my KH150s and room perform extremely well to my ears when optimised using Neumann’s MA1 system. Next to, for example, the Kii Seven speakers I reviewed recently, the KH150s with MA1 correction didn’t leave me wanting for much in terms of subjective or objective performance. But the NOVA delivered a definite step up in performance.

The great sense of detail and accuracy that’s already present with my KH150s and MA1 correction system was significantly enhanced, and the stereo image focus tightened still further. There was even a point during my early moments with the NOVA when I had to check by feel that my Atmos centre channel monitor wasn’t somehow accidentally routed into the outputs, so tight was the central image focus from the stereo KH150s.

The way I hear it, there are two elements to the changes that the NOVA system brings. Firstly, there’s the purely tonal accuracy that comes from flattening the listening position frequency response. As well as being subjectively satisfying, this potentially takes all of the uncertainty out of translation. But the NOVA does something else too: a slightly harder-to-grasp sense that everything has become more explicit. Mix elements inhabit their place tonally, dynamically, and within the stereo image, just with much more precision. It’s as if a layer of audio uncertainty has been removed.

It’s hugely valuable professionally, because hearing more clearly what’s going on can only make the listening job easier.

Today’s professional audio products are typically stuffed to the gills with incredibly clever and advanced technology, but I think we can all agree that it doesn’t always pay off. That’s absolutely not the case with Trinnov and the NOVA: the results are equally as remarkable as the technology."


 

Trinnov NOVA Software Updates - Version 1.2.0

In October 2024, Trinnov announced a new software update for the NOVA. This update includes a hardware bypass feature, several enhancements, and fixes bugs from the previous software. Continue below to see all of the updates, and download Version 1.2.0 here.

New Features

  • Hardware Bypass: You can now select the bypass mode in the Optimizer > Processing menu. Switching to hardware bypass reduces latency by avoiding software processing, making it ideal for recording.

    Note: Some features are unavailable when NOVA is in this mode.

Enhancements

  • When the NOVA is in bypass, the illuminated logo now blinks yellow instead of red.
  • The Optimizer button now turns orange when switching optimization off (previously red).
  • Adding a speaker set trim in setup > speakers is not affecting the master level display anymore.

Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed calibration offset in the "Set Calibration Level" step of the calibration wizard was not being applied.
    Fixed: Exceeding the total number of licenses across more than 6 output channels caused audio glitches.
    Correction in Bass management cutoff and slope frequency for multi speaker set.
    Fixed: When switching to dBC in System > General > About, some units remained in dB.
