Introduction

Bass in domestic rooms

The bass response in any normal domestic room is typically very uneven, and good bass response is at best limited to a specific listening position even when employing multiple subwoofers. To get complete control over the lower frequencies in a normal room is a real challenge. To use traditional passive solutions with acoustic panels and absorbtion requires an unrealistic amount. Bass traps are also limited in their effectiveness and again requires a lot of them to work well. 

The solution most people go for is a combination of multiple subwoofers and EQ, which can give good results in many cases. But Trinnov has decided to take it several steps further with their new and exciting Trinnov WaveForming™ technology.

Trinnov WaveForming™

WaveForming™ is a new approach to controlling bass in domestic rooms. It uses a combination of multiple subwoofers and advanced processing to control the low frequencies and acoustic field.

WaveForming™ and Inkognito subwoofers

One interesting thing that sets the WaveForming™ solution apart, is that it also utilizes the vertical plane. What does that mean? It means you need to get your subwoofers up onto the walls(!). 

Enter the Sigberg Audio Inkognito 12" subwoofer. A true high-end subwoofer with wall mounting capabilities. In this article we're going to have a look at how our reference customer Tor Gunnar Berland transformed the bass in his living room employing eight (8) Inkognito subwoofers and Trinnov WaveForming™. 

This 4x4 setup allows maximum benefit of WaveForming™ (Planar WaveForming™), as opposed to 2x2 (a single row in the front and rear) which would give Cylindrical WaveForming™.
