Description
HELIX C ONE Amplifier Overview
The HELIX C ONE is a premium 1-channel amplifier designed to deliver exceptional power and sound quality. Its ultra-low-noise Class A driver stage, coupled with 32 hand-selected MOSFET power transistors, ensures precise control over speakers, achieving a remarkable damping factor of 1,000 at 4 ohms. This makes it an ideal choice for driving powerful subwoofers and high-resolution audio systems.
