Helix BT HD STREAMER

Helix BT HD STREAMER – stand-alone Bluetooth HD audio streamer

The HELIX BT HD STREAMER is a stand-alone Bluetooth audio retrofit for car audio systems. It streams in high definition up to 24-bit/48 kHz and passes the signal digitally via its optical output to a DSP or DSP amplifier. Hands-free calling can be added with the optional HELIX BT HD Hands-Free Microphone Kit.

Thanks to its standby mode the module can switch on the sound system as soon as a Bluetooth connection is established, which makes it well suited to classic cars without a head unit as well as campers and motorhomes.
