Helix M Six DSP 6 Ch Amplifier with integrated 10-Ch signal processor

HELIX M SIX DSP – Compact 6-Channel Amplifier with 10-Channel DSP

The HELIX M SIX DSP is more than just a six-channel amplifier. Despite its compact size, it serves as a powerful control center with a total of ten processed DSP channels. Delivering 100 Watts RMS per channel into both 4 Ohms and 2 Ohms loads, it offers exceptional performance. Its impressive price-to-performance ratio, combined with a comprehensive feature set, ensures a remarkable audio experience.

 Tonal Excellence – True to HELIX

Compromises in sound quality are not an option for HELIX. The M SIX DSP is equipped with top-tier components, including:

• High-quality, separate A/D and D/A converters
• A powerful 64-bit fixed-point DSP from Analog Devices
• Four pre-amplifier outputs with 6V output voltage
• A fully German-manufactured DSP circuit board

These features ensure pristine audio fidelity and dynamic performance.

Maximum Flexibility

The M SIX DSP's internal amplifier section is highly versatile:

• Operates in 6-channel mode
• Bridgeable to 5-channel, 4-channel, or 3-channel configurations
• Includes four pre-amplifier outputs for system expansion

When combined with other amplifiers in the M series (M ONE X, M ONE, M FOUR, or M SIX), it allows for scalable, high-performance multi-channel systems.

Virtual Channel Processing (VCP)

Managing multiple DSP channels is simplified with HELIX's innovative Virtual Channel Processing. This system enables:

• Flexible signal routing for complex configurations
• Easy integration with OE sound systems
• Assignment of proprietary FX sound features like "RealCenter" and "Augmented Bass Processing"

The user-friendly DSP PC-Tool software facilitates intuitive setup and adjustments.

Enhanced Speed with ACO Platform

The advanced 32-bit ACO (Advanced CoProcessor) platform enhances system performance by:

Accelerating data communication with DSP PC-Tool software

Enabling rapid switching between up to ten sound setups

Implementing advanced sound effects such as Augmented Bass Processing and RealCenter

Providing channel-separated Input EQ and Input Signal Analyzer (ISA) for OE radio signal analysis

Compact, Cool, and Practical

Despite its extensive features and power, the M SIX DSP maintains a compact form factor reminiscent of the HELIX M SIX. Its Class D amplifier technology ensures efficient heat management, even under full load.
