§ 01

Correcting the room, not the speaker

The Trinnov ST2 Pro is the processor that makes our monitoring repeatable. Using a 4-capsule 3D microphone, it measures amplitude, phase, and — crucially — the acoustic position of each loudspeaker, then corrects the room's contribution to what we hear.

§ 02

Phase, not just frequency

Most room correction flattens a frequency plot and leaves the time domain untouched. Trinnov's FIR-based approach corrects phase as well, which is why the stereo image tightens so dramatically. Centre-panned vocals sit in a fixed point in space; low-frequency decisions stop depending on where the engineer's head is.

§ 03

Why it matters commercially

It means the master we approve here behaves the same everywhere. Room-induced errors are the single biggest cause of masters that sound wrong outside the studio, and the ST2 Pro removes that variable from the job.

§ 04

How it sits in our chain

Monitoring and main conversion run through the Prism Sound Dream ADA-8XR — including the feed into the ST2 Pro itself. We use the Prism converters rather than the ST2's own, so the optimizer only ever sees reference-grade conversion and its correction is applied to the same signal we master through. The ST2 corrects the room; the Prism guarantees what arrives at it.
