Acoustic Fidelity
The weakest element of any high-fidelity system is the room. Typical rooms introduce up to 10dB 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.
In A Nutshell
The ST2-HiFi is today’s most advanced loudspeaker/room optimiser. It offers Trinnov’s patented digital room correction technologies in a package specifically customized for Hi-Fi enthusiasts.
In a nutshell, the ST2-HiFi offers the following benefits:
- Easy Set-up in 4 steps
- Powerful Algorithms: Multi-point measurements, time-frequency analysis, comprehensive graphs and much more…
- Flexible fine-tuning to meet your personal taste for sound balance
- High Performance Audio boards, designed and manufactured by Trinnov
- Multiple Remote Control options, from Infra-Red to Smart-phones
Key Features………..
Easy Set-Up

Options
The ST2 Hi-Fi is an all-included solution:
- The hardware is not scalable. The ST2 HiFi is limited to a 4 simultaneous inputs/outputs use regardless of the 6 stereo inputs available
- The ST2 HiFi includes an Optimiser 4 bundle. Software upgrades can be purchased so the unit can always access new implemented features
Remote Control
Trinnov Processors can be remotely controlled via Ethernet IP commands, RS-232 or from any device through VNC.
The most confortable solution for a ST2 HiFi is VNC. Complete remote control can be achieved through the network from any device, such as desktops, laptops, smartphones or tablets running any operating system.
An external IR module is also available as an option to use a third party remote-control.
3D Microphone
The measurement microphone is optional.
