HELIX DSP PRO MK3 - This product comes with a 1-year warranty.

The next evolutionary stage of the DSP PRO 

Familiar looks with the ®evolution inside. The successor of the DSP PRO comes in the renowned, elegant HELIX design, but is equipped with the latest technology: Unrivalled High-Res sound quality thanks to twice as much processing power compared to its predecessor, ACO Platform for an extended feature set as well as VCP (Virtual Channel Processing) for easy configuration of highly complex sound systems. Additionally, there are the revised highlevel inputs with three-stage input sensitivity adjustment and extended voltage range up to max. 32 Volts as well as our extremely compact and solid Smart Control Port. One thing´s for sure: Due to featuring all these state-of-the-art technologies, the DSP PRO MK3 without a doubt belongs to the A-list of signal processors.

State-of-the-art Technology and TwinDSP power for the ultimate High-Res sound experience

The DSP PRO MK3 is equipped with two of the most powerful 64-Bit audio signal processors from Analog Devices. The incredible processing power of 2.4 billion MAC operations per second, combined with the high sampling rate of 96 kHz (resulting in an audio bandwidth of over 40 kHz) and AKM Velvet Sound A/D and D/A signal converters, ensure outstanding sound in High-Res quality.

ACO – Advanced 32 Bit CoProcessor Platform

The DSP PRO MK3 is now equipped with our proprietary 32 Bit ACO platform, which doesn’t just take over all control tasks ultra-fast, but also handles a bunch of audio functions: Now, fantastic sound effects such as Augmented Bass Processing or Real Center 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.

All you need for optimal connectivity

With its wide range of in- and outputs (8 x high level, 8 x RCA, 1 x optical, 1 x coaxial, 1 x HEC slot & 10 x line output), the DSP PRO MK3 offers everything for an easy adaptation to existing factory radios or multi-channel OE sound systems. Additionally, the extended voltage range allows the combination with almost any imaginable analog signal source, even with high-power OE amplifiers.

DSP PC-Tool 5 feat. TuneEQ – Powerful features for ultimate sound experiences

Of course, the HELIX DSP PRO MK3 can be easily configured via our new, professional and exceptionally intuitive DSP PC-Tool 5. The well-known, numerous setting options with their extensive sound processing functions leave nothing to be desired and guarantee an extremely precise sound adjustment even under the most difficult conditions. And thanks to the new, proprietary TuneEQ function for automated frequency response correction, you also save a lot of time when optimizing your sound.

Features & specs

The signal processor for all those, who are only satisfied with the best! The new Helix DSP PRO raises the bar to a new level, not only in terms of sound quality. Due to the implementation of the latest generation of ultra-fast Audio DSPs with enormous 64 Bit resolution, this device provides more calculating power than every other signal processor available on the market today. In addition, it is the first of its kind which performs the full signal path with a sampling rate of 96 kHz, resulting in an extended audio bandwidth up to more than 40 kHz.

 

As if that were not enough - the new Helix Extension Card Slot, simply called "HEC", makes this device extremely flexible and versatile. It allows, by using optional HEC modules, to extend the functionality of the DSP PRO - for example by a Bluetooth audio streaming module, an additional optical digital input or an optical digital output.

 

Entirely new, but still familiar is the completely revised DSP PC-Tool software 3. As intuitive as before, it adds a bunch of new functions and more precise adjustments of all parameters. The real-time analyser, which is integrated in the software, now comprises the revolutionary "AutoSet" function that makes the equaliser adjustment as easy as possible.

 

No doubt - the Helix DSP PRO will make the dreams come true - even of the most ambitious sound enthusiasts - that is a safe bet!

 

Features

  • Cutting-edge, extremely powerful "fixed point" Audio DSP with 64 Bit resolution
  • 96 kHz Sampling rate - full audio bandwidth up to more than 40 kHz for unparalleled audio performance
  • Parametric 30-band EQ per channel with ultra-precise 0.25 dB steps
  • Time-alignment adjustment in accurate 3.5 mm steps
  • Various high- and lowpass filter characteristics with 6 - 42 dB slope available
  • Different signal routing matrices for each signal input section including configurable signal detections
  • Helix Extension Card slot (HEC) for additional input / output modules like Bluetooth Audio Streaming
  • "Ground lift" switch to avoid ground loops
  • Control input for connecting remote controls and accessories
  • Easy configuration thanks to the professional and user-friendly DSP PC-Tool Version 3 software
  • Inputs: 8 x RCA/Cinch (2 – 4 Volts, 2 channels internally changeable to higher sensitivity 250 – 500 mV), 8 x highlevel (5 – 10 Volts or 10 – 20 Volts), 1 x SPDIF (optical / coaxial switchable), remote input, USB connector
  • Outputs: 10 x RCA/Cinch (max. 6 Volts output voltage) and remote output

96 kHz sampling rate

The Helix DSP PRO allows to handle all signal management with the doubled sampling rate of 96 kHz. Thus the audio bandwidth is no longer limited to usual values like 22 kHz but allows an extended frequency response to more than 40 kHz. Doubling the sampling rate requires significantly higher DSP power as the number of possible arithmetic operations is halved. Only the implementation of the latest DSP chip generation allows raising the sampling rate to 96 kHz and adding new features plus additional channels at the same time.

 

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 PRO 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 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 PRO 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.

 

Start-Stop capability

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

 

Automatic Digital Signal Detection

Switching from analog input to the digital input is done automatically as soon as a signal is detected on the optical input. This feature can be deactivated in the DSP PC-Tool software. Alternatively you can use an optional remote control for manual switching between analog and digital inputs.
