Advanced technology,
proven excellence
The HELIX DSP ULTRA S once again defines the
benchmark for digital sound processors. Targeted optimizations enhance the
already outstanding performance of its predecessor for a sound experience
that exceeds even the highest expectations. Audiophile precision and
innovative engineering, combined in one device – and of course, completely
made in Germany.
Audio performance par excellence
The HELIX DSP ULTRA S stands for the highest
standards in audio performance. A newly designed audio signal path reduces
the distortion factor to a minimum: at its heart are the renowned AKM Velvet
Sound™ 32 Bit AD and DA signal converters and new, high-quality operational
amplifiers from the legendary TI / BurrBrown "OPA series" with SoundPlus™
technology, assuring the highest sound quality. With the completely revised
analog input stage, the ULTRA S achieves optimum interference immunity,
enabling unsurpassed clarity and detail without external influences, even
under the most demanding conditions.
TwinDSP Power
Computing power can only be replaced by even
more computing power – which is precisely why the DSP ULTRA S is equipped
with two of the most powerful 64 Bit audio signal processors currently
available from Analog Devices. With incredible 2.4 billion MAC operations
per second, the immense number of internal channels in conjunction with the
highest quality sound processing is not even the slightest problem.
Therefore, the ULTRA S comes with eight separately processable input
channels, eight processable virtual channels and twelve processable output
channels as well as numerous new sound features – all this at a sampling
rate of 96 kHz, resulting in an audio bandwidth of over 40 kHz.
ACO – Advanced 32 Bit CoProcessor platform
Rapid processing power that‘s not only in the
signal path – the particularly powerful 32 Bit ACO platform handles all
control tasks and provides the decisive speed boost, 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 or
RealCenter, dynamic processing such as Dynamic Loudness Control (DLC) or
Remote Tone Control (RTC) are implemented as well as a channel-separated
Input EQ including Input Signal Analyzer (ISA) for easy analysis and
compensation of input signals from OE radios already containing a sound
setup.
Virtual Channel Processing – Modern signal
routing
The adaptation to
modern OE sound systems via an increasing number of inputs has a significant
impact on the complexity of the signal routing inside the amplifier.
Especially when several input signals are mixed together and then split
again into multi-way systems, conventional routing concepts quickly reach
their limits. Audiotec Fischer's new multi-stage "Virtual
Channel Processing", in conjunction with the
recognized user-friendly DSP PC-Tool software makes it easy to realize even
highly complex system configurations. Besides, it allows to freely assign
our proprietary FX
sound features such as "RealCenter" or "Augmented
Bass Processing".
Connectivity at the highest level
The HELIX DSP ULTRA S is, especially thanks to
the HEC slot, highly configurable while our SCP (Smart Control Port)
guarantees the optional connection of accessories with integrated power
supply as well as special operational reliability. These upgrades allow for
even more flexible customization and expansion of your sound system to meet
the individual needs and desires of every audiophile user. For easy
adaptation to existing factory radios or multi-channel OE sound systems, the
DSP ULTRA S is not only equipped with the latest generation ADEP.3 circuit,
but also has a particularly wide adjustment range for the input sensitivity.
The enormous adjustment range of 1 - 8 Volts (Cinch / RCA) or 4 - 32 Volts
(highlevel) enables problem-free adaptation to almost any conceivable analog
signal source, even with powerful OE amplifiers.
Elegant, smart and compact
Despite its vast range of functions, the HELIX
DSP ULTRA S inspires with its straightforward and timeless design that is
still compact?– ideal for a simple installation. The sum of its
characteristics makes the HELIX DSP ULTRA S the perfect "tool" for every
uncompromising audiophile music lover with highest demands.
