Helix M SIX DSP - 6 Kanal

HELIX M SIX DSP

✓ That rocks - the new M SIX DSP

The M SIX DSP only presents itself as a six-channel amplifier at first glance - in fact, despite its small dimensions, you are dealing with a powerful control center that has no fewer than ten processed DSP channels. And plenty of power too, because this amplifier shakes 100 watts of continuous power per channel at both 4 ohms and 2 ohms almost casually out of its sleeve. In addition, there is a fantastic equipment package, which will make your eyes light up at the latest when it comes to the price-performance ratio. 

 

✓ Sonically through and through HELIX!

Compromises in sound have no place in a HELIX product - and that is why the M SIX DSP is also equipped with all the finesse for perfect sound. The finest, separate AD and DA converters are just as natural on the DSP circuit board made in Germany as the use of an extremely powerful DSP from Analog Devices. In addition, the four preamplifier outputs with 6 volt output voltage provide more than enough level to drive any power amplifier.

 

✓ Textbook flexibility

Even the internal amplifier section of the M SIX DSP is truly variable - it can either be operated in six-channel mode or, thanks to its bridgeability, also be configured as a 5-channel, 4-channel or 3-channel amplifier.

But that's not all - in connection with the four preamplifier outputs, the system can be supplemented in a variety of ways and upgraded to up to 10 channels. Simply in combination with the other amplifiers of the M series (M ONE X, M ONE, M FOUR or M SIX) there are more than enough possibilities to expand the number of power channels. In this way, complex but still affordable and, above all, space-saving multi-channel systems with enormous performance are easily possible.

 

✓ Virtual channel processing – this is how signal routing works today

Many DSP channels need to be managed and configured sensibly - so there was no question that the M SIX DSP was also equipped with Audiotec Fischer's innovative Virtual Channel Processing.

The adaptation to modern OE sound systems via an increasing number of signal inputs makes an increasingly complex signal routing in the amplifier unavoidable. Especially when several input signals are mixed together and then broken down again into multi-path systems, conventional routing concepts quickly reach their limits in terms of implementation and usability. The multi-stage "Virtual Channel Processing" makes it possible, in connection with the recognized user-friendly DSP PC-Tool software, to easily map even highly complex system configurations and to freely assign the proprietary FX sound features such as "RealCenter" or "Augmented Bass Processing".

 

✓ The plus in speed – thanks to ACO

Faster is better - the particularly powerful 32-bit ACO platform takes over all control tasks and ensures significantly more speed, especially in data communication with our DSP PC tool software, but also in the lightning-fast switching between the up to ten possible sound setups. But ACO offers much more - fantastic sound effects such as augmented bass processing, StageXpander or RealCenter are implemented as well as a channel-separated input EQ including input signal analyzer (ISA) for easy analysis and compensation of the input signals from OE radios, which already have a sound ex works -Setup include.

 

✓ Compact, cool and extremely practical

Despite the enormous range of functions and the rich output power, the M SIX DSP in the typical HELIX outfit with clear lines is just as fantastically compact as an M SIX. Thanks to its Class D amplifier technology, it keeps a "cool head" even at full power. And thanks to features such as start-stop capability, ADEP.3 circuitry and Power Save Mode, it is also ideally equipped for the now-everyday challenges of integration into OEM systems.

Special Features:

✓ ACO – Advanced 32 Bit CoProcessor

The HELIX M SIX DSP amplifier uses a particularly powerful 32-bit CoProcessor of the latest generation for all internal and external control and communication tasks. In contrast to the previously used 8-bit processor, this results in significant speed advantages, not only when switching between different sound setups, but above all in data communication with our DSP PC tool software. Another major advantage is the integrated, native bootloader of the CoProcessor.

This enables software upgrades of all components of the integrated DSP, for example to be able to adapt the microcontroller-controlled ADEP.3 circuit to changes in diagnostic systems of factory radios in the future or to expand the device with additional interfaces.

In addition, thanks to the new flash memory, the ACO offers space for 10 sound setups instead of the usual two.

 

✓ Intelligent high-level input ADEP.3

Modern, factory-installed car radios are becoming more and more intelligent when it comes to diagnosing the connected loudspeakers. The latest generation in particular is equipped with additional monitoring functions, so that error messages or even malfunctions can occur when an additional amplifier is connected. The new ADEP.3 circuit (Advanced Diagnostics Error Protection Generation 3) prevents these problems without unnecessarily loading the speaker outputs of the radio at high levels.

 

✓ Power Save Modus

The Power Save mode is activated in the basic settings of the DSP PC-Tool software. It allows the power consumption of the M SIX DSP (and any additional connected amplifiers) to be drastically reduced if there is no input signal for longer than 60 seconds. As soon as the "Power Save Mode" is active, the internal amplifier stages of the M SIX DSP and the Rem Out are switched off, thus significantly reducing power consumption. The amplifier returns to normal operation within 2 seconds as soon as a music signal is present at its input. The switch-off delay can be varied or completely deactivated via the DSP PC-Tool software.

 

✓ start-stop capability

The power pack in the HELIX M SIX DSP amplifier ensures the internal power supply even in the event of short-term dips down to 6 volts. This ensures that the HELIX M SIX DSP remains fully functional even when the engine is started.
