Helix BT HD STREAMER

HELIX BT HD STREAMER is a standalone Bluetooth® audio streaming device for audiophiles who value high-quality yet straightforward wireless audio transmission in their vehicle. Equipped with the Qualcomm® aptX™ HD codec, this streamer delivers high-resolution audio quality, giving your music collection a whole new dimension. Full compatibility with all Bluetooth® devices is of course ensured, so nothing stands in the way of streaming your favorite tracks.

High-resolution streaming with maximum flexibility

HELIX BT HD STREAMER combines modern high-resolution audio streaming with outstanding practical benefits. Thanks to its optical output, it can be easily connected to DSPs and DSP amplifiers for fully digital, lossless signal routing. In addition, a digital input with pass-through functionality is implemented: this allows incoming signals to be routed directly to the optical output and ensures optimal flexibility without losing the digital signal path—ideal for audio setups that include integration of additional digital sources. The streamer’s standby mode enables convenient audio activation, particularly in vehicles with special comfort and efficiency requirements or in smart accessory solutions. It is especially advantageous in motorhomes and caravans, as well as in classic cars without a modern head unit.

Exceptional sound quality through state-of-the-art streaming technologies

With integration of the Qualcomm® aptX™ HD codec, the streamer consistently delivers top-tier sound quality. This advanced codec enables high-resolution Bluetooth® audio transmission, providing remarkable depth and clarity and creating an outstanding listening experience even for the most demanding listeners. Streaming at the highest standard with authentic wireless transmission at 24-bit/48 kHz. In addition, signal-to-noise ratio has been significantly improved, overall harmonic distortion (THD) minimized, and audio artifacts eliminated, ensuring your favorites are reproduced in the best possible way. The BT HD STREAMER also supports the standard Qualcomm® aptX™ codec, providing improved audio quality for users of older Bluetooth® devices. Finally, the Bluetooth® AAC codec is implemented and specially optimized for Apple users, delivering high-quality audio streaming for devices in the Apple ecosystem and offering iPhone and iPad users an excellent musical experience.
