If you're an ultimate tweaker who's crazy about sound quality, then Helix's P-DSP processor will be a welcome addition to your system. After downloading the application and software from Helix, you plug your PC or laptop into the P-DSP's USB port. A detailed control panel will appear on your computer screen that lets you set virtually every tunable audio parameter to achieve the highest musical fidelity possible in your car. The visual display shows the resulting sound curve of each setting, so you'll know for sure how your adjustments are affecting audio output. The P-DSP processor accepts up to six inputs, which you can assign to up to eight output channels, perfect if you're running separate tweeters, mids, woofers, and subs. Each channel has its own output volume and a 30-band graphic equalizer that gives you incredible control over the sound. The EQ section features a fine tuning adjustment that lets you get in between the preset bands to smooth out any rough spots. The time alignment feature lets you correct for each speaker's placement in your car, so the sound from each speaker arrives at your listening position at the same time.
Don't worry, you don't have to drive around with your computer plugged in. You simply download your settings to the P-DSP processor, after saving them on your laptop. The P-DSP can store two settings at once, so you can toggle between them to see which sounds better. You can also use an optional microSD memory card to store and transfer processor settings. The P-DSP can also serve as a digital processor in a Helix Plug and Play factory up...
