Helix DSP.3 8-channel processor with top-of-the-line Helix DSP. Cutting-edge technology, proven over the years, also in design: the DSP.3 has been continuously refined and stands as the best 8-ch digital signal processor made by Helix.

Incredible high-resolution audio experience

The pursuit of perfect sound drives forward the research of engineers and the 64-bit audio DSP and sophisticated signal processing with a sampling frequency of 96 kHz and 32-bit Asahi Kasei resolution offer exceptional audio quality. Ideal for processing high-resolution audio signals with an audio bandwidth greater than 40 kHz. In addition to DSP.3 functionalities, exclusive audio DSP features such as "Augmented Bass Processing", "StageXpander" or "RealCenter" offer new possibilities to optimize the audio system. Together with the 6V RCA output, the DSP.3 sets a new benchmark in this price segment.

ACO - Advanced 32-bit Platform

Logically, the DSP.3 is now equipped with the new exceptionally powerful ACO (Advanced CoProcessor) 32-bit platform. This DSP PC-Tool software allows you to switch from one audio configuration to another in just 300 msec. Furthermore, the ACO offers 10 internal memory positions for audio configurations instead of the usual two, as well as a separate channel input equalizer and our input signal analyzer (ISA) for easy analysis and compensation of input signals. In this way it is possible to unbalance any factory audio tuning that significantly simplifies the integration of different signal sources.

Extensive set of basic functionalities

Of course, the high-level input with ADEP.3 circuit, the Auto Remote switch, the optical input and the HELIX extension card slot (HEC slot) for additional system components such as Bluetooth Audio Streaming or high-resolution audio playback via USB are part of the basic feature set.

DSP PC Tool

Needless to say, HELIX DSP.3 can be configured as usual with the easy-to-use DSP PC-Tool V4 software.
