The Power of Trivum: More Than Multi-Room Audio

For professional installers, multi-room audio is no longer simply about getting music into different rooms. Today’s premium residential and commercial projects demand flexible audio distribution, intelligent control, automation and seamless integration with other systems.

This is where Trivum stands apart.

The Trivum SC344m is a purpose-built multi-room audio matrix designed for professional custom installations, giving installers the flexibility to create sophisticated audio systems that go far beyond straightforward streaming.

One system. Multiple possibilities


At the heart of the SC344m is a powerful four-zone audio matrix, providing four independent stereo zones from a single unit. But the real advantage is the flexibility behind those zones. With full matrix audio routing, installers can distribute different audio sources to different areas of a property or vessel — while retaining independent control.

The system also incorporates four independent streamers and four DAB+/FM radio tuners, providing a comprehensive range of built-in audio sources without the need for multiple additional components.

For larger installations, the system can be expanded to support up to 64 zones using additional Trivum units, making it suitable for everything from sophisticated residential projects to larger commercial installations.

Built for integration

One of Trivum’s biggest strengths is its approach to system integration.

The SC344m supports integration with KNX, Control4, RTI, URC, Node-RED and API control, allowing audio to become part of the wider automation system rather than operating as a standalone product.

For KNX installers in particular, this makes Trivum a powerful option for projects where lighting, shading, HVAC, security and entertainment need to work together.

Imagine entering a room and having the lighting, temperature and music respond automatically. Or selecting a particular scene and having the audio system simultaneously route the correct source to the required zones.

Trivum gives installers the tools to make those experiences possible.

Advanced audio routing and control


The SC344m provides full matrix switching between sources and zones, giving installers considerable freedom when designing an audio system.

Sources can be routed where they are needed, while integrated DSP and speaker equalisation provide additional control over the audio performance.

Control is equally flexible, with users able to interact with the system through:

Web browser interface

iOS and Android apps

Integrated automation systems

API control

This combination of hardware and software gives installers a system that can be configured around the requirements of the project rather than forcing the project to fit the limitations of the audio system.

More than music: paging, announcements and automation
Another area where Trivum really demonstrates its professional credentials is in its commercial and automation functionality.

For installers working on straightforward residential streaming systems, simplicity may be the priority. But for high-end custom installations where audio needs to become an integral part of the wider control system, Trivum offers a much broader set of possibilities.

The installer advantage
The power of Trivum isn’t simply the number of zones or the streaming capability. It’s the combination of audio distribution, routing, integration and automation in one professional platform.

For installers, that means greater flexibility when designing systems — and more opportunities to create genuinely bespoke experiences for clients.

Whether you’re specifying a KNX smart home, high-end residential property or commercial installation, Trivum provides the technology to make audio an integrated part of the overall project.

Trivum isn’t just about playing music in multiple rooms. It’s about giving installers the power to control, distribute and automate audio exactly how the project demands.
