HOW TO READ THE DIFFERENCE
Architecture matters more than badge hierarchy.
Altitude16 is not a “smaller sounding” Altitude32. The key distinction is system scale. If the room fits inside the Altitude16 processing/output architecture, it can deliver the same fundamental Trinnov software philosophy without buying channel capacity the room will never use.
The right answer depends on the speaker count, subwoofer strategy, room-correction workflow, amplifier interface, video requirements and how much expansion the cinema may need later.
