Attendees to Audio Advice Live 2026 have one more thing to look forward to as ASCENDO Immersive Audio, Trinnov Audio and Christie have announced they’ll be presenting a ‘Standout Experience’ at Audio Advice Live 2026 with a high-performance home cinema demonstration.
The Magnolia II demo room combines an ASCENDO immersive audio system with dedicated infrasonic bass, Trinnov Cylindrical WaveForming and Christie’s latest projection technology.
What’s Going into the ‘Standout Experience’
Building on last year’s demonstration (which received eCoustic’s award for Best Bass Response at the show), Trinnov and ASCENDO will showcase the capabilities of Cylindrical WaveForming, demonstrating how exceptional bass performance can be achieved even in a square room.
For Audio Advice Live, the 25’ x 25’ x 8’ Magnolia II demo room will feature Trinnov’s flagship AltitudeCI audio processor with an Amplitude16 amplifier and Trinnov’s Dante interface, driving an ASCENDO high-performance immersive audio system. That system will include four ASCENDO THE18 SUB PASSIVE VENTED subwoofers positioned along the front wall and two positioned along the rear wall to complete the Cylindrical WaveForming array.
On top of that, ASCENDO will also be bringing its THE32 infrasub alongside 13 ASCENDO coaxial point-source speakers purpose-built for home cinema.
For visuals, Christie is bringing its Korus 4K1000-KS laser projector equipped with a 1.25–2.0:1 zoom lens and paired with a 135-inch Stewart Wallscreen Deluxe with Harmony woven material.
Why Integrators Should Take Note
The demonstration already reads like an evolution of the Million Dollar Home Theater from CEDIA Expo 2025. For anyone who wanted to see that in action but missed it, Audio Advice Live looks like a second shot of experiencing some heavy-duty theater tech in action. That includes the newer version of WaveForming Trinnov will have on display.
Unlike conventional approaches that attempt to correct standing waves after they occur, Cylindrical WaveForming prevents them from developing in the first place by utilizing a floor-level front subwoofer array and rear subwoofers.
2.1-Channel System in Audio Advice Lobby
In addition to the Magnolia II demonstration room, attendees can visit the upstairs main lobby, where ASCENDO and Trinnov will present a 2.1-channel system featured product display highlighting ASCENDO’s flagship BLACK SWAN loudspeakers in a Carbon finish and THE28 SUB SQUARED alongside a Trinnov AltitudeCI and Amplitude16.
