The weakest element of any high-fidelity system is the room. Typical rooms introduce up to 1 0dB of distortion
in the frequency response. Furthermore, loudspeakers with a perfect impulse response don’t exist.
Trinnov’s ST2 HiFi solves the acoustic equation. It takes your high-end system to a whole new level of accuracy,
from High-Fidelity to Acoustic-Fidelity.

Back side of the microphone
The measurement microphone is one of the most critical
component in the Trinnov calibration procedure.
The Optimizer’s sophisticated algorithms not only rely on very accurate acoustic measure-
ments but also on the ability to localize speakers positions and to detect early reflection origin.
The microphone consists of 4 capsules mounted at the top of thin brass tubes to avoid
diffraction.
The capsules form a tetrahedron figure, ideal to identify distance, azimuth and elevation
altogether with a spatial resolution below +/-2° in every direction.
Consequently, capsules are identified from 1 to 4 and the microphone cables are labelled
accordingly.
A led incorporated in the body of the microphone indicates the front of the microphone that
should be pointed at the center of the soundstage before proceeding with a measurement.
Flat response (within +/- 0,1 dB across the 20Hz-24kHz frequency range) is guaranteed
by individual compensation filters.
The microphone uses a standard 9V PP3 LR61 battery to power capsules and electronic.
The second purpose of the frond led is to indicate the battery level.

IMPORTANT Always make sure the micro-
phone is turned OFF before you connect it
to the ST2 HiFi.
The Trinnov 3D measurement microphone must be connected to the balanced analog
inputs of the ST2 HiFi.
The microphone cables are labelled and numbered from 1 to 4. Please respect the connec-
tion order of the microphone, such as indicated in this figure:
