Six RCA and six high-level inputs, plus optical and coaxial digital inputs, provide versatile source connections, while eight 6V RCA outputs feed your external amplifiers. Its 64-bit DSP, BurrBrown converters and 96kHz sampling offer precise processing with extended audio bandwidth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSystem integration and tuning\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHigh-level and line-level connections allow integration with compatible factory or aftermarket sources. ADEP.3 circuitry helps accommodate factory speaker diagnostics, while the Smart Control Port supports compatible optional control accessories.

External amplification is required. Expansion cards, Bluetooth modules, remote controls and measurement equipment are optional and are not included. USB audio streaming on HEC-equipped models requires a compatible optional expansion module; the NEXT DSP ULTRA XT includes USB PerfectStream. Where a digital input accepts a rate higher than 96kHz, this does not change the specified 96kHz internal DSP sampling rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x HELIX DSP.3S signal processor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Control Input-to-SCP adaptor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x USB cable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting material.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstruction manual.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HELIX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64316172370250,"sku":"HP58217","price":489.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/6364\/9098\/files\/helix-dsp3s-1.jpg?v=1794315256","url":"https:\/\/caraudiodirect.co.uk\/products\/helix-dsp-3s-8-channel-digital-signal-processor","provider":"Car Audio Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
