Just a short time after launch, the HELIX NEXT DSP ULTRA XT secures the EISA Award for best In-Car Sound Processor 2026-2027 – as the new flagship of the HELIX standalone DSP line. Here's what the EISA jury has to say:
"The new NEXT DSP ULTRA XT is more than just another addition to the HELIX portfolio of standalone processors – it establishes a new flagship class within the brand's DSP lineup. Developed as an high-end 16-channel signal processor for ambitious multi-channel systems, it combines extensive analog and digital connectivity with advanced routing and tuning flexibility. Its completely reworked hardware concept includes a dual 64-bit DSP platform and latest-generation A/D and D/A converters from ESS Technology with SABRE architecture, each supported by a dedicated power supply. The result is outstanding measured performance, including reduced harmonic distortion, a higher signal-to-noise ratio, 96kHz/32-bit internal processing, USB PerfectStream via USB-C and flexible digital integration options. Housed in a newly designed, robust chassis, this is a top-of-the-line sound processor for the most demanding high-end installations.”
