HELIX - BT HD Streamer
Stand-alone Bluetooth® Audio Streaming Module
The HELIX BT HD STREAMER is the stand-alone Bluetooth® Audio Streaming Tool for audiophiles who value high-quality but at the same time uncomplicated, wireless audio transmission in their vehicle.
Equipped with the Qualcomm® aptX™ HD Codec, this streamer guarantees high-definition sound quality that lets your music collection appear in a new light on the move, almost effortlessly.
Of course, full compatibility with all Bluetooth®-enabled devices is guaranteed, so nothing stands in the way of streaming your favorite tracks.
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 - and thus as part of a completely digital, lossless signal routing.
There is also an additional digital input with passthrough function: This enables the incoming signal to be forwarded directly to the optical output and guarantees optimal flexibility without losing this connection - ideal for audio setups in which another digital audio player is to be integrated.
Thanks to the implemented standby mode, the streamer also ensures excellent audio enjoyment, especially in vehicles where comfort and efficiency as well as smart retrofit solutions are particularly in demand.
This makes it particularly advantageous for use in mobile homes and campers as well as vintage cars without a modern head unit.
Exceptional sound quality thanks to modern streaming technologies
Thanks to the integration of the Qualcomm® aptX™ HD codec, our streamer always offers high-quality sound.
This advanced codec enables high-definition Bluetooth® audio transmission, which with its extraordinary depth and clarity creates an extraordinary sound experience for discerning listeners, something otherwise only known from wired connections.
This makes an authentic, wireless connection at 24 bit and 48 kHz the new highest standard.
In addition, there are significant improvements in the signal-to-noise ratio, the minimization of total harmonic distortion (THD) and the elimination of audio artifacts, so that your favorite tracks are reproduced in the best possible way.
The streamer also supports the regular Qualcomm® aptX™ codec, which also ensures improved audio quality for users of older devices with Bluetooth® wireless technology.
In addition, there is the Bluetooth® codec AAC, which is specially optimized for Apple users.
This codec ensures high-quality audio transmission for devices in the Apple ecosystem, which of course also offers iPhone and iPad users excellent music enjoyment.
Efficiency and convenience: The standby mode
Modern streaming is characterized by user-friendliness and convenience at the highest level, which is why the BT HD STREAMER has a standby mode: This is activated by a simple switch and puts the HELIX BT HD STREAMER into an energy-saving mode with only 3mA power consumption.
As soon as a smartphone connection is established to the streamer, it "wakes up" and generates a remote signal, which in turn switches on the entire sound system.
This seamless transition ensures comfortable music enjoyment without having to turn on the ignition while at the same time preserving the vehicle battery, which is particularly advantageous in vintage cars without a head unit or in campers and mobile homes.
Optional hands-free function: communication made easy
In particular, the integration of the optional hands-free function sets the HELIX BT HD STREAMER apart from other Bluetooth® streaming devices on the market.
With the separately available HELIX BT HD Hands-Free Microphone Kit, the streamer transforms your vehicle into a modern communications center - even without a head unit.
This is where the "Echo Cancelling" and "Noise Supression" technologies of the STREAMER come into play:
- Noise Cancelling: The algorithm in the BT chip of the HELIX BT HD STREAMER filters out background noise such as vehicle noise and road noise to enable clear communication while driving.
- Echo Cancellation: This function prevents echoes during conversations by minimizing audio feedback between the speaker and microphone, which improves call quality.
- Speech Enhancement: This optimizes the driver's voice recording by improving the clarity and intelligibility of the voice and reducing background noise. In addition, the automatic volume correction compensates for differences in the volume of the conversation, so that people further away can be easily understood.
Features
- Stand-alone Bluetooth® Audio retrofit with optional hands-free function for all DSPs and DSP amplifiers with optical digital input
- Wireless high-definition audio transmission in brilliant sound quality with up to 24 bit / 48 kHz from the mobile device to the DSP or DSP amplifier
- Thanks to modern audio codecs such as Qualcomm® aptX™ HD, Qualcomm® aptX™ and AAC are always automatically streamed in the best possible audio quality, regardless of whether the device is Android or Apple
- Optional "HELIX BT HD Hands-Free Microphone Kit" for hands-free calling in the best audio quality
- Standby mode enables the entire sound system to be switched on using a Bluetooth® signal
- Extremely low power consumption in standby mode (approx. 3 mA) to protect the vehicle battery
- Perfect for retrofitting classic cars without a radio
- Allows you to listen to music via the vehicle's sound system without switching on the ignition - ideal for sound systems in campers and mobile homes
- Integrated digital input with passthrough function allows the connection of another signal source with an optical digital output - for example if a head unit or a digital audio player is to be integrated into the sound system
- Offers the possibility of integrating Bluetooth® audio streaming in sound systems in which the HEC slot of the DSP or DSP amplifier is already occupied
- External pairing possible by retrofitting control lines with an external button - practical if the module is hidden in the vehicle, e.g. behind the glove compartment
- Suitable for all BRAX, HELIX and MATCH DSP products with optical digital input
