A longstanding name in the audio industry, Trinnov has today announced a brand new program for dealers interested in becoming certified for Trinnov Audio products. Throughout 2023 and into 2024, Trinnov has stated it will be rolling out separate certification programs for Pro Audio, Commercial Cinema, and High End/Home Theater. Each certification will have multiple levels.
As of today, the company states its Level One Certification is available to all those interested, with additional levels being rolled out in future announcements. Level One will provide students with competence in installation, setup, and at minimum, an intermediate understanding of the Trinnov Optimizer.
This means that any person holding an active Trinnov Level One Certification can competently install and set up a Trinnov system with performance that will delight the end user. These installers will be officially authorized and registered on Trinnov’s website.
Higher level Trinnov certification will delve deeper into understanding of advanced topics that include acoustics, designing systems using Trinnov’s unified speaker layouts, industry best practices, advanced calibration, and advanced troubleshooting.
Why Trinnov Certification?
One of the most critical challenges for firms is education, and in the case of Trinnov, the company notes the uniquely high proficiency requirement from an installer to achieve the most from the company’s products.
The Future of Digital Lighting & Control
As a custom integrator, lighting is in demand. Effective communication, education and showcasing the value proposition of LED light fixtures in conjunction with integrative control systems are the keys to overcoming challenges and closing sales in this specialized market. Join us as we discuss the future of digital lighting and control with David Warfel from Light Can Help You and Patrick Laidlaw and Mark Moody from AiSPIRE. Register Now!While much of the platform is intuitive, Trinnov notes, there is a wealth of options within the Optimizer platform that a knowledgeable installer or calibrator can use to obtain maximum performance and address idiosyncratic problems in unusual real-world installations.
In other words, the degree of customer satisfaction is strongly correlated to the quality of the installation support provided by Trinnov and its dealer network.
This is why, Trinnov notes, the company’s sales team consists only of individuals with technical profiles and decades of experience in the AV industry or with sound engineering backgrounds, and why the company has come forward with this new certification program.
“We strongly believe that sharing our knowledge and expertise is essential to the development of our industry. Trinnov does not only sell products, we promote technological advancements and strive to share our passion with enthusiasts as much as with our customers”, said Arnaud Laborie, co-founder and CEO of Trinnov Audio.
Going forward, with the introduction of new advanced technologies such as WaveForming, the need for such a structured certification program will become even greater, Trinnov states.
This advancement is further enabled by the recruitment of Dave Pedigo as Global Director of Training. In a previous role, Dave managed CEDIA’s; education, certification and technology programs, for 14 years.
Level One Certification Now Available to Authorized Dealers
In a press release detailing the announcement, Trinnov assures dealers that its support and sales team will remain as involved as they have ever been in the business process.
The goal with these certifications stands to raise the knowledge of Trinnov’s partners through the training and examination process and by encouraging dealers and calibrators to participate and become recognized as certified Trinnov Audio installers.
This certification program is only available to approved Trinnov Dealers. The Level One training and certification program will be available free of charge, in both in-person and online formats. Both include hands-on training. Online students will calibrate a system remotely.
However, if you are interested in becoming Trinnov Certified but are not currently a Trinnov dealer, Trinnov has advised you contact training@trinnov.com to start the approval process.
Level Two and higher certification classes will only be offered face-to-face.
