SC340m

What you need to know about the SC340m

The SC340m is a 4 zone multiroom system for streaming

• Enormously flexible thanks to the trivum t3OS operating system.
• for 4 rooms with  each 2x30 watts
• Ideal forAirPlay, Spotify Connect andWeb Radio< /strong>
• Each room canhear different music
• All rooms can be selected byAirPlay and Spotify Connect.
• Other streaming sources: Music streaming from Deezer, Tidal, Qobuz, Sound- Machine, DMD2, NAS and Web URLs
• Free app for iOS and Android or can be used via browser
• Perfectly integrated into KNX
• Drivers for RTI, URC and Control4 available free of charge
• The SC340m can be used alone for 4 zones. It can be combined with other trivum sound systems for up to 64 zones
• When using 2 SC340m, these can be mounted in 19" with an optional rack kit

Why the SC340m and not the... 

RP341v2:  Like the SC340m, the RP341v2 is a 4 zone system with 4 streaming clients. The RP341v2 is developed for control cabinet installation and also has a DAB/FM tuner and an analog line input. The SC340m has the option of being directly connected to other SC344m/SC340m via USB-C.

So it mainly depends on the case whether the RP341v2 or SC340m is the right one for you.  

Characteristics of the SC340m

4 Streaming Clients

Streaming is the most important source of music today. The trivum streaming clients can play all important music formats and enable a wide selection of music sources: Internet Radio (TuneIn), Spotify Connect, Deezer, Qobuz, Tidal, Sound-Machine, NAS, AirPlay, Text2Speech or WebURLs.

Connection options for the USB-C sockets

The 2 USB-C sockets (MDAT and SDAT) have been supported since software V10. Matrix devices, i.e. SC344m, SC340m and SC311m, can be connected to each other using a USB-C cable. Per cable, 4 stereo sources (streamer, tuner, AUX) can be passed on digitally from one device to a connected device without any time delay (latency-free). In the revised setup, it can be determined very precisely which sources should be used where. The Matrix devices can, for example, access TV or microphone signals from other Matrix devices without any delay. The setup supports configuration with colored information about detected cables. There is also a new "Connected Spaces" function which acoustically connects several zones without a grouping is necessary.

Operation / Control

Thanks to the intuitive app, the system is very easy to use - both on smartphones, in the web browser or on the trivum TouchPads. Thanks to the trivum t3OS operating system, the trivum sound systems are simple and very flexible at the same time. It includes many additional functions that make the SC340m a powerful control center in every home.

Sound and amplifier performance

The 4 built-in digital stereo power amplifiers each deliver more than enough power for built-in speakers with 2x30 watt sine waves. The wattage specified for the speakers must be well above 30 watts. The watt value of the speakers indicates the maximum load on the speaker. If a speaker is specified as 120 watts, this means that it can be operated with a maximum of 120 watts. Normal room volume is below 1 watt. This means that 30 watts of amplifier power is more than enough power for multiroom built-in speakers.

Installation speakers are often not perfectly tuned. This depends on the type of installation or placement. That's why every trivum amplifier has a built-in DSP (Digital Sound Processor). Thanks to the DSP, the frequency response can be meticulously adjusted. There are no less than 5 parametric equalizers, high and low pass, bass enhancer and of course bass, treble and balance available per amplifier. This even makes it possible to equalize invisible panel speakers.

KNX Integration

Like all trivum multiroom sound systems, the SC340m is also completely integrated into KNX. Simple KNX buttons can control the music in the room. All you need are 4 buttons! If a KNX visualization is available or planned, it can take over the music control. It's very easy, works great and brings real added value in the visualizations such as the GIRA QuadClient, Home Server or GIRA G1/X1.

In addition to the possibility of controlling the music functions via KNX, every trivum multiroom system also offers its own KNX visualization. In addition to music, you can also control lights (RGB, RGBW, tunable white), heating, roller shutters, etc. in the trivum app. Simple timers, presets and scenes are also part of the trivum visualization. Check out the KNX visualization in our Demo Area .

Control4, URC or RTI Integration

The SC340m can be integrated into the media control of RTI, URC and Control4 systems. The drivers, which are available free of charge, enable the integrator to integrate into the very individual media control. This means that the trivum multiroom system can be controlled and further automated using the remote controls available from RTI, URC or Control4.

Paging / Text2Speech

The built-in paging function allows various announcements: Either via microphone (connected to the line input) or through the Text2Speech function: Any text you enter is converted into speech and then played as an announcement. Announcements are started by KNX or through actions and can be played in selected or all zones with predefined volumes. If necessary, with a gong in front of it. The paging can also be used as a doorbell - or at the push of a button "Children please come up. The food is ready." 

Background Music

Background Music makes it easy to listen to the same music - without grouping zones. This is ideal for commercial installations with many different areas.
Background music is provided by a specific zone, and all other zones can use that zone's music as a source.

Macros

Every trivum multiroom system has the option to define macros and start them via action or KNX event. A macro is a sequence of macro steps. A step can be a TCP, UDP, HTTP, MQTT, KNX, delay or a trivum action command.

NodeRed / MQTT

To support IoT applications, every trivum multiroom system includes a simple NodeRed and MQTT interface. This allows you to connect the trivum multiroom system with the entire world of IoT technology.

trivum API

Many functions of the trivum multiroom system can be accessed via trivum's developer API. This means that you have full access to the system with simple HTTP requests. You will receive complete zone status information back immediately when changes are made in XML format. This allows you to integrate the trivum multiroom system into your own visualization or media control.
