Helix HEC BT HD - V Eight DSP MK2

The BT HD expansion card adds Bluetooth audio streaming in HD quality — up to 576 kbps and 24-bit/48 kHz — via the Bluetooth 5.0 standard. Supported codecs include SBC, AAC, aptX and aptX HD. The board also features an optical S/PDIF digital output.

High-resolution sound

Thanks to the Qualcomm aptX HD audio codec, wireless and stable transmission of HD-quality audio is possible. Direct processing of digital signals from the BT HD module into the DSP without additional AD/DA conversion ensures lossless signal handling and exceptional audio performance.

Full control

HEC BT HD supports control commands such as play/pause, next/previous track, connect, pair and disconnect for connected DSP remote controls (e.g., CONDUCTOR and DIRECTOR). The DIRECTOR display also shows the current artist and track title, as well as the active audio codec.
