Author Topic: Trinnov Ovation Sound Processor Stephan Shelley Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 854 From: castro valley, CA, usa Registered: Nov 2014 posted 07-10-2019 08:33 PM                     Mike, I am guessing you are no longer running any film. One thing the Ovation will not do on its own is film but you can daisy chain a legacy processor into it.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-11-2019 09:37 AM                     Nope, We moved his projector to behind the baffle wall after conversion 8 years ago... In fact out of 334 conversions I did on the Mountain States only two film projectors were left in place and neither has been used in 5+ years.

(Anybody want it?)  |  IP: Logged Tim Androes Film Handler Posts: 34 From: seattle, washington, united states Registered: Aug 2015 posted 07-11-2019 12:45 PM                     what kind of equipment?  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-11-2019 02:03 PM                     It's a Simplex X-L on a 5 Star mounted to a Christie console with every upgrade known to man. I do not remember the lens sizes. There is also a Christie AW-3 and MUT. You can see pictures of it on the Roxy Theater web page below...

Installed lots of them, every one has been well received. A couple of really acoustically challenging rooms have been tamed where everything in the past failed. My most recent install which was an OV2, one of those challenging rooms, an ancient cinema from the silent era (it would make an excellent cathedral).

Can anyone suggest a good monitoring option to suit a tri amplifer system with the Ovation. Currently using CP650 with QSC DCM-3 VGA cable to amps. This was a nice easy install. Looks like I will have to now tap off from all the amp outputs!!  |  IP: Logged Sean McKinnon Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1712 From: Peabody Massachusetts Registered: Sep 2000 posted 10-17-2019 03:44 PM                        FYI- even though they use the same connector the QSC dataport cables are not VGA cables. While VGA cables may work the shielding is different and they are made to carry 15 volts so using an off the shelf VGA cable IMO is risky.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 10-17-2019 04:27 PM                     As I recall, Dataport cables also use pin 9, which VGA cables typically don't. It's been awhile since I looked at/made a Dataport cable.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-17-2019 05:10 PM                     Mike has the ONLY CP-650 that I installed which has not lost it's power supply. IDK why it has not because his booth some times gets pretty toasty and every other CP650's power supply I ever installed failed within about 7 years of use. His 650 is also the only Dolbly I kept in place during Digital installs. Almost everything else got Ultra Stereo JSD-100 and later on some JSD-60. We did keep the Panastereos.

Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 11-06-2019 06:08 AM                     Yes, pin 9 = +15V. It isn't crucial for this wire to exist in a dataport cable as I don't think that pin is used for anything but the dataport accessories like the XC-3 and SF-3 (The XC-3 was just discontinued, btw).  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-10-2019 10:24 AM                     Mike B. just switched his CP-650 out for a Trinnov processor and I know he's really happy with it. Hopefully he'll chime in and relate some of the differences between it and the 650.

The performance is mind blowing ..... AMAZED... not only listening , we can also see the sound travelling across the auditorium. This sound processor has no barrier, irrespective the content is 5.1 or 7.1 the output is Marvelous..... One should experience the difference if he true sound lover.......Amazing Thanks and regards  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 11-29-2019 01:37 PM                     quote: Khushwant Singh we can also see the sound travelling across the auditorium Sounds like you should shoot a video of this amazing phenomenon. For people who are issuing comparisons, you REALLY NEED TO add into your post the processor that was removed and any acoustical or speaker changes that were made. Even then it's still not a true comparison unless just before the swap the old system was calibrated by the same technician, but still I have to ask what potential garbage equipment was being upgraded when the new processor went in? Case in point, consider a Trinnov processor installed into an auditorium with underpowered Peavey speakers and then an old CP50 was installed with high end QSC speakers. That 40 year old CP50 is going to sound better!!! I've no doubt the Trinnov produces very good results, but I would like to at least hear some truly fair comparisons because I suspect not all of these are...especially when I read such ridiculous claims such as the above post. My curiosity and concern here is similar to the old DLP demos where they ran the DLP on screen side by side against a completely beaten to hell film print.  |  IP: Logged
