Helix P Six DSP Ultimate 6 Channel Amplifier 12 Channel DSP 64 Bit HI Res Audio

HELIX P SIX DSP ULTIMATE

6 Channel Amplifier 12 Channel Digital Signal Processor with 64 Bit Audio DSP

Enormous power and progressive DSP technology for the ultimate sound experience.

The P SIX DSP ULTIMATE 6-channel amplifier delivers enormous power and sophisticated DSP technology in perfect harmony. Up to 285 Watts RMS per channel into 2 Ohms and the integrated 12-channel signal processor with doubled processing power guarantee an incomparable sound experience in high-res quality. Our „ULTRA HD Class D“ philosophy focuses on combining the excellent sound characteristics of Class AB technology with the efficiency of a digital amplifier. In addition, the integration of numerous new functions and features, such as the ACO platform, the optical digital output and much more, make one thing clear: The P SIX DSP ULTIMATE is in a league of its own.

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

The P SIX DSP ULTIMATE 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 and the resulting audio bandwidth of over 40 kHz, as well as the BurrBrown A/D and D/A signal converters, ensure outstanding sound in High-Res quality. In addition, the complete audio signal path, including the new, more powerful power supply, has been optimized down to the last detail.

Optimal connectivity and flexibility

With its wide range of in- and outputs (6x high level, 6x RCA, 1x optical SPDIF, 1x coaxial SPDIF, 1x HEC slot, 4x line output & 1 x optical output), the P SIX DSP ULTIMATE offers everything for an easy adaption to existing factory radios or multi-channel OE sound systems. Additionally, the extended voltage range up to 32 V RMS allows the combination with almost any imaginable analog signal source, even with high-power OE amplifiers. Furthermore, the integration of the optical digital output enables a completely digital signal chain with downstream amplifiers, for example the P ONE MK2 or P TWO MK2. Last but not least, VCP (Virtual Channel Processing) is now included for the flexible and easy configuration of even highly complex sound systems.

Ultra HD Class D amplifier technology

Compared to conventional Class D amps, this concept achieves an extended frequency response to more than 40 kHz in combination with reduced distortion thanks to an advanced integrated feedback design. Ultra HD Class D achieves outstanding, “Class AB-like” sound quality combined with the efficiency of a Class D amplifier.

TwinDSP Power

The P SIX DSP ULTIMATE contains two of the most powerful 64 Bit audio signal processors from Analog Devices with the outstanding overall calculating power of 2.4 billion MAC operations per second.

The TwinDSP Power concept makes the twelve separately processed channels and the numerous new sound features in combination with the extended sampling rate of 96 kHz (resulting in an audio bandwidth of more than 40 kHz) possible.

Ready for 24 V

It is possible to operate the P SIX DSP ULTIMATE with a supply voltage of 12 Volts or 24 Volts (e.g. as usual in trucks) without the need to make any changes to the unit. In both operating modes the amplifier will have equal performance characteristics. This guarantees maximum flexibility for numerous applications.
