HELIX NEXT V EIGHT DSP ULTIMATE The multi-tool in its ultimate form The V EIGHT DSP ULTIMATE represents the next evolutionary leap of HELIX’s renowned all-in-one solution. Every aspect of this 8-channel amplifier with integrated 14-channel DSP has been reimagined, refined, and elevated – from signal processing and connectivity to outstanding performance and sound quality. This isn’t just an upgrade – it’s the embodiment of ambition and a commitment to redefining what multi-channel DSP amplifiers can achieve. Cutting-edge amplifier technology meets next-gen performance At the heart of the V EIGHT DSP ULTIMATE is a new generation of highly efficient TI Class D technology, delivering an enormous performance boost of up to 66 % over its predecessor – coupled with further refined sound quality and maximum speaker control. With 8 x 110 Watts RMS into 4 Ohms or 4 x 110 Watts RMS into 4 Ohms + 4 x 220 Watts RMS into 2 Ohms, the V EIGHT DSP ULTIMATE delivers impressive power reserves for the most demanding speaker systems. Thanks to its significantly increased system performance, the V EIGHT DSP ULTIMATE handles complex high-performance audio systems with ease – precisely, powerfully and dynamically. Unmatched connectivity for modern multi-channel setups With an unprecedented range of input and output options, the V EIGHT DSP ULTIMATE is ready for any integration scenario – whether OEM systems, aftermarket head units, or direct connections to smartphones and tablets. It offers 12 highlevel inputs, 6 RCA / Cinch inputs, an digital optical input, the new Extension Card 2.0 slot, and the cutting-edge USB PerfectStream interface. On the output side, in addition to eight speaker outputs, the amplifier features six RCA / Cinch outputs for seamless expansion with additional amplifiers – making it the perfect centerpiece for any system architecture. Perfect sound tuning thanks to optimization for the new DSP PC-Tool 6 The HELIX V EIGHT DSP ULTIMATE has been consistently designed to meet the requirements of sophisticated multi-channel systems – and with its integrated 14-channel signal processor, it offers a significant expansion of options compared to its predecessor. With its large number of processed DSP channels, which now include six line outputs instead of two, it offers maximum flexibility when implementing complex system configurations.In combination with the new DSP PC-Tool 6 software, users benefit from an enhanced feature set, smarter tuning tools, and a significantly improved user interface – enabling quick and precise sound tuning tailored to any acoustic environment or listening preference. The result: sound performance at the highest level. ACO – Advanced 32 Bit CoProcessor platform Rapid processing power beyond the signal path – the high-performance 32 Bit ACO platform handles all control tasks and ensures ultra-fast data communication with the DSP PC-Tool software, including lightning-fast switching between up to ten sound setups.But ACO offers even more: integrated features like Augmented Bass Processing, RealCenter, Dynamic Loudness Control (DLC), and Remote Tone Control (RTC), along with the new Advanced Input Signal Analyzer (AISA), provide unmatched tuning versatility and allow analysis and compensation of input signals from factory sound systems that already contain sound settings. Control and high-end audio in perfect combination thanks to USB PerfectStream With the upgraded ACO platform, the HELIX V EIGHT DSP ULTIMATE introduces USB PerfectStream – an interface that sets new standards in terms of connectivity and user-friendliness. This extends the amplifier with a bi-directional USB audio interface that simultaneously enables lossless audio streaming from smartphones, tablets, or PCs, real-time measurement signal transmission for AISA, and DSP PC-Tool configuration. Acting as an intelligent USB hub, the ACO platform eliminates the need for external measurement interfaces – making signal analysis and system tuning faster, easier, and more accurate than ever. A true advantage for professional system integrators. Extension Card 2.0 – future-ready expansion The V EIGHT DSP ULTIMATE is the first HELIX amplifier to feature the new Extension Card 2.0 slot – a revised expansion platform with screw-secured plastic cover and cross-series compatibility. Whether Bluetooth® HD streaming or additional analog inputs, this modular approach allows the amplifier to be tailored to individual system requirements. The Extension Card 2.0 slot ensures maximum future compatibility for adding new signal sources.
