HELIX V EIGHT DSP 8-Channel Amplifier 10-Channel Digital Sound Processor New In
The HELIX V EIGHT DSP 8-channel amplifier with an integrated 10-channel signal processor opens up new horizons for car audio enthusiasts.
Its unique “Pure Class GD” concept and cutting-edge “fixed point” Audio DSP with 64 Bit resolution ensure extraordinary sound quality and loads of power.
Furthermore, a huge feature set provides the ideal set of pre-requisites for more complex system concepts – especially if fully active configurations are going to be built on a single and compact amplifier.
Eight speaker outputs with up to 120 Watts RMS @ 2 Ohms, two processed RCA outputs for the connection of additional amplifiers, six RCA and six high-level inputs with up to 20 V RMS input sensitivity and an optical SPDIF input make this amplifier absolutely unique in its class. The HELIX Extension Card slot (HEC) allows adding even more interfaces, like the Bluetooth® Audio Streaming module or a High-Resolution Audio USB soundcard.
Thanks to Audiotec Fischer’s DSP PC-Tool, the integrated DSP can be easily configured to one's individual requirements. Despite the gigantic feature content, the V EIGHT DSP presents itself in the classic HELIX design language, clean design with very compact dimensions allows for quick and easy integration.

Special features:
Pure Class GD amplifier technology
Audiotec Fischer's proprietary Pure Class GD concept takes the efficiency of conventional Class D amps to the next level. By varying the internal supply voltage depending on the amplifier’s input signals, idle losses are significantly reduced and overall efficiency is close to maximum at any time. So heat dissipation is almost negligible thus allowing the smallest heat sinks and most compact form factors. Besides that Pure Class GD amp outperforms conventional Class D designs in terms of sound quality by implementing a fully differential signal path and improved output filter design.
Smart high-level input
The latest generation of OE car radios incorporates sophisticated possibilities of diagnosing the connected speakers. If a common amplifier will be hooked up failure messages and loss of specific features (e.g. fader function) quite often appears - but not with the V EIGHT DSP.
The new ADEP circuit (Advanced Diagnostics Error Protection) avoids all these problems without loading the speaker outputs of the OE radio during high volumes unnecessarily.
Power Save Mode
The Power Save Mode is incorporated in the basic setup. It allows to significantly reduce the power consumption of the V EIGHT DSP and connected amplifiers once there’s no input signal present for more than 60 seconds. Please note that in many up-to-date cars with “CAN” or any other internal bus structures it may happen that the radio remains “invisibly” turned on for up to 45 min. even after leaving the car! Once the “Power Save Mode“ is active the remote output (Rem Out) and the internal amplifier stages will be turned off. The HELIX V EIGHT DSP will reactivate the remote output and the internal amplifier stages within a second if a music signal is applied. It is possible to either modify the turn-off time of 60 sec. or completely deactivate the “Power Save Mode” via the DSP PC-Tool software.
Start-Stop capability
The switched power supply of the HELIX V EIGHT DSP assures a constant internal supply voltage even if the battery’s voltage drops to 6 Volts during engine crank.
Automatic Digital Signal Detection
Switching from analog input to the digital input is done automatically as soon as a signal is detected on the Optical Input. This feature can be deactivated in the DSP PC-Tool software. Alternatively, you can use an optional remote control for manual switching between analog and digital inputs.
