High-definition streaming with maximum flexibility

The HELIX BT HD STREAMER combines modern high-definition audio streaming with extraordinary practical benefits. Thanks to its optical output, it can be conveniently connected to DSPs and DSP amplifiers as part of a completely digital, lossless signal routing. In addition, we implemented a digital input with pass-through function: this allows the incoming signal to be forwarded directly to the optical output and guarantees optimum flexibility without losing this digital signal way – ideal for audio setups including the integration of an additional digital audio player. Thanks to its standby mode, the streamer provides audio enjoyment, particularly in vehicles with a special demand for comfort and efficiency as well as smart retrofit solutions. This makes it especially advantageous in motorhomes and campers as well as classic cars without a modern head unit.

Exceptional sound quality due to state-of-the-art streaming technologies

Thanks to the integration of the Qualcomm® aptX™ HD codec, our streamer always offers sound quality at the highest level. This advanced codec enables high-definition Bluetooth® audio transmission, providing extraordinary depth and clarity and creating an exceptional sound experience for even the most discerning listeners. Streaming in its highest standard with an authentic, wireless connection at 24 bit and 48 kHz. In addition, there are significant improvements in the signal-to-noise ratio, the minimization of total harmonic distortion (THD) and the elimination of audio artefacts, ensuring the reproduction of your favourite in the best possible way. Our BT HD STREAMER supports the regular Qualcomm® aptX™ codec as well, assuring improved audio quality even for users of older devices with Bluetooth® wireless technology. Last but not least, we also implemented the Bluetooth® codec AAC, which is specially optimized for Apple users. This codec ensures high-quality audio transmission for devices from the Apple ecosystem, offering iPhone and iPad users outstanding music enjoyment.

Optional hands-free function: communication made easy

The integration of the optional hands-free function clearly sets the HELIX BT HD STREAMER apart from other Bluetooth® streaming devices on the market. With the separately available Microphone Kit, the streamer transforms your vehicle into a modern communication center - even without a head unit.
