HELIX DSP ULTRA

12-kanals høykvalitets DSP

Entering a new dimension

The name says it all ? the new HELIX DSP ULTRA is anything but another signal processor with just more channels. Rather, it is the next technological milestone that impressively demonstrates Audiotec Fischers expertise in the field of DSP technology.

TwinDSP Power

Computing power can only be replaced by even more computing power ? and that is why the DSP ULTRA is equipped with two of the most powerful 64 Bit audio signal processors from Analog Devices. Incredible 2.4 billion MAC operations per second make the twelve separately processed channels and the multitude of new sound features in combination with the high sampling rate of 96 kHz (resulting in an audio bandwidth of over 40 kHz) possible.

ACO ? Advanced 32 Bit platform

Rapid processing power not only in the signal path ? the particularly fast 32 Bit ACO platform takes over all control tasks and ensures the decisive speed increase, especially for data communication with our DSP PC-Tool software, but also for the lightning-fast switching between up to ten possible sound setups. But ACO offers much more ? fantastic sound effects such as Augmented Bass Processing or StageXpander are implemented as well as a channel-separated Input EQ including Input Signal Analyzer (ISA) for easy analysis and compensation of input signals of OE radios, which already include a sound setup ex works.

Smart highlevel input ADEP.3

Modern, factory-installed car radios incorporate sophisticated possibilities of diagnosing the connected speakers. In particular the latest generation of car radios are equipped with additional monitoring functions so that failure messages and loss of specific features (e.g. fader function) quite often appear if a signal processor will be hooked up ? but not with the DSP ULTRA. The new ADEP.3 circuit (Advanced Diagnostics Error Protection, 3rd Generation) avoids all these problems without loading the speaker outputs of the OE radio during high volumes unnecessarily.

Start-Stop capability

The switched power supply of the HELIX DSP ULTRA assures a constant internal supply voltage even if the battery?s voltage drops to 6 Volts during engine crank.

Power Save Mode

The Power Save Mode is incorporated in the basic setup. It allows to significantly reduce the power consumption of the amplifiers that are connected to the HELIX DSP ULTRA once there?s no input signal present for more than 60 seconds. Please note that in many up-to-date cars with «CAN» or any other internal bus structures it may happen that the radio remains ?invisibly? turned on for up to 45 min. even after locking and leaving the car! Once the ?Power Save Mode? is active the remote output and therefore the connected amplifiers will be turned off. The HELIX DSP ULTRA will reactivate the remote output within a second if a music signal is applied. It is possible to either modify the turn-off time of 60 sec. or completely deactivate the ?Power Save Mode? via the DSP PC-Tool software.

Audiotec Fischer – Innovative Car Audio

Siden oppstarten i 1990 har tyske Audiotec Fischer utviklet seg fra en nisje-leverandør til en verdensledende aktør innen innovative lydprodukter, og har en høy anerkjennelse i hele bransjen.
Audiotec Fischer leverer i dag MATCH, HELIX og BRAX til mer enn 50 land, og er også svært viktig for oss hos Bass Brothers. Både MATCH, HELIX og BRAX er synonymt med kvalitet, og produktene benyttes i en stor mengde av våre pakke- og Plug&Play-løsninger.

For Audiotec Fischer er «Made in Germany» mer enn bare en merking på opprinnelse. Det er en løfte om kvalitet som alle i lokalene i Schmallenberg føler seg forpliktet til, og det strekker seg langt utover selskapets interne avdelinger. Her fortrekkes samarbeid med regionale leverandører for å gjenspeile «Made in Germany», og komponenter av høyeste kvalitet er et lysende eksempel på de høye standardene Audiotec Fischer setter på produktutviklingen.
