Helix Next V EIGHTEEN DSP
HELIX V EIGHTEEN DSP – Connectivity beyond expectations
18 Channel amplifier with 20 Channel DSP
Whether it's an upgrade for a multichannel premium sound system or even the design of an entirely new, extensive audio configuration: The HELIX V EIGHTEEN DSP is the all-in-one tool for anyone with insatiable audio system ambitions. This all-purpose miracle sets new standards for the enhancement and implementation of highly complex audio setups.
Multifunctionality and intelligent adaptation for a breathtaking audio experience
Following the Pure Class GD concept, this 18-channel amplifier combines exceptional sound quality and high performance, delivering an impressive musical experience even for the most discerning audiophiles. Moreover, the HELIX V EIGHTEEN DSP features an equal number of 18 highlevel inputs with up to 32 V RMS input sensitivity, enabling an 1:1 input-to-output routing. Especially when the exchange of existing components poses an obstacle and only the expansion through another amplifier is possible, the V EIGHTEEN DSP, with its extensive adaptation capabilities, is the ideal problem solver. The management of the remarkable twenty (20!) separate DSP channels is handled by two extremely powerful "Fixed Point" Audio DSPs with 64 Bit resolution, in conjunction with our unique DSP PC-Tool
