HELIX NEXT DSP ULTRA XT

HELIX NEXT DSP ULTRA XT | 16-channel high-end DSP, 12-channel highlevel input, ACO platform & USB PerfectStream

A new era of HELIX DSP performance
The HELIX DSP ULTRA XT marks the new pinnacle of HELIX standalone DSPs. As an ultra high-end 16-channel signal processor, it is designed for modern multi-channel sound upgrades with the highest sonic standards. No matter how complex the factory sound system, how diverse the signal sources or how ambitious the requirements – with comprehensive connectivity, state-of-the-art signal processing and audio performance par excellence, the DSP ULTRA XT sets a new benchmark in high-end car audio. The result is a NEXT-level HELIX processor that redefines the limits of premium sound systems – Made in Germany, of course.

• 16-channel high-end stand-alone DSP for challenging multi-channel sound upgrades
• TwinDSP Power – two extremely powerful “fixed point” Audio DSPs with 64 Bit resolution and 2.4 billion MAC operations per second for an extensive sound customization of all processed channels:
• 12 input channels
• 8 virtual channels
• 16 output channels
• High-performance ESS Technology A/D converter with HyperStream® IV architecture and SABRE technology as well as D/A converter with HyperStream® IV architecture and SABRE HIFI® technology for exceptionally pure signal quality, high detail resolution and precise, low-noise and low-distortion signal processing from input to output
• EV-Ready – extended input voltage range up to 18 V for stable operation even in electric vehicles with increased on-board voltages
• Cutting-edge audio signal path for minimized distortion and unparalleled sound quality
• Premium RCA / Cinch sockets for reliable, mechanically stable signal connections and permanently clean signal transmission
• High power 12-channel highlevel input with up to 32 V RMS input sensitivity and ADEP.3 circuit for seamless integration into factory sound systems
• USB PerfectStream technology – lossless high-resolution audio streaming (up to 192 kHz / 32 Bit), AISA measurement (Advanced Input Signal Analyzer), and simultaneous DSP configuration via USB-C
• VCP (Virtual Channel Processing) offers outstanding flexibility in configuring complex sound systems, thanks to:
• Cross-channel group equalizers that affect several output channels simultaneously
• Multi-way speaker configuration of DSP sound effects (SFX) 
• Additional features such as Rear Attenuation
• ACO – Advanced 32 Bit CoProcessor platform for system and DSP features like:
• AISA (Advanced Input Signal Analyzer) and InputEQ for easy analysis and correction of input signals
• DLC (Dynamic Loudness Control) and RTC (Remote Tone Control) for volume-dependent dynamic adjustment of highs and lows 
• Proprietary TuneEQ function for automated adjustment of the input, virtual and output equalizers
• SFX Sound Effects – Augmented Bass Processing, RealCenter & Co. 
• Extension Card 2.0 slot for system add-ons like Bluetooth^® HD audio streaming, extra analog inputs, or future signal sources
• Two digital inputs (optical & coaxial) as well as one optical digital output in SPDIF format enable a fully digital signal path from the source to the connected component
• Compact, future-proof SCP (Smart Control Port) for connecting remote controls and accessories
• New, distinctive housing design with heatsink look, chamfered edges and premium RCA / Cinch sockets, visibly underlining the high-end standards and extraordinary performance of the DSP
• Maximum control with DSP PC-Tool 6 – professional software for precise amplifier configuration and accurate sound tuning in the vehicle
