    CONDUCTOR

    One-touch remote control

    The CONDUCTOR combines design and functionality in perfection. With just one knob you have all important functions of your (DSPs) sound system fully under control - from volume adjustment, signal source selection and setup change up to the control of an optionally installed Bluetooth HD Extension Card.

    Tailor-made for your needs

    The CONDUCTOR can always be optimally adapted to your needs - whether as a simple subwoofer remote or as a control unit for complex system configurations. For example, two playback zones with different volumes: music for the parents in the front and a radio play for the children in the back.

    All signal sources under control

    With the CONDUCTOR you can manage all your connected signal sources in no time at all. For example, use your smartphone as a digital media source and intuitively control its playback (play / pause, track forward / back) and volume in combination with the optional Bluetooth Extension Card.

    Sound setup switching to match your taste

    Manage different sound profiles on your DSP - depending on your personal taste and demands - and enjoy your music with consistently optimized sound quality.

    Seamless integration

    Thanks to its compact, fully symmetrical design and high-quality materials, the CONDUCTOR can be integrated almost seamlessly into the existing vehicle interior and blends in with its appearance as inconspicuously as an original part.

    Features

    • Independent control of up to 4 individual volumes such as Master, Digital, HEC/AUX, Rear Attenuation or Subwoofer including full system mute
      • Selectable volume ranges of 60 dB, 24 dB, 12 dB
      • Selectable volume step size of 1 dB or 0.5 dB
      • Individually configurable LED color for each volume menu
    • Optional Bluetooth® module control including play, pause, track navigation and activation of pairing*
    • 12 x RGB-LEDs for visual feedback
      • Wide color space with over 16 million colors
      • Configurable brightness and automatic dimming
    • Easy installation
      • Flush mount installation with Ø 1. 58" / 40 mm hole cut-out
      • 16.4 ft / 5 m cable for SCP with split connector
      • No separate power supply required
    • Sound Setup switching with up to 10 presets and signal source selection
    • Full configuration and updatability through the DSP PC-Tool software

    * Supported by DSP products equipped with a Bluetooth Extension Card (Extension Card 2.0 - BT HD or HEC / MEC BT HD). The BT HD STREAMER is excluded

    HELIX HEC BT HD

    Wireless audio streaming in HD quality via Bluetooth®

    The extension card BT HD extends your HELIX device with a Bluetooth® audio streaming function in HD quality with up to 576 kbps and 24 Bit/48 kHz sampling rate thanks to BT5.0+EDR standard. The module supports the SBC, AAC, aptX & aptX HD audio codec. Additionally, the module is equipped with an optical digital output in SPDIF format.

    High Definition audio

    Thanks to the support of the Qualcomm® aptX™ HD audio codec, wireless and constant audio transmission in HD quality is possible. Furthermore, the direct signal transmission of the digital signals from the BT HD module to the DSP without additional AD-DA conversion allows lossless audio processing and thus outstanding sound performance.

    Full control

    The HEC BT HD supports control commands like play/pause, track forward/back, connect, pairing and disconnect of a connected DSP remote control (e.g. CONDUCTOR and DIRECTOR). The DIRECTOR's display also shows you the current artist & title as well as the currently uséd audio codec.

    Wireless DSP tuning

    The increased data transmission of the BT5.0 standard in combination with the DSP PC-Tool software V5 (coming in beginning of 2022) and a PC with Bluetooth® wireless technology allows wireless configuration of all DSP devices with ACO platform. A cumbersome connection via USB cable is now a thing of the past.

    Everything included

    For seamless installation, a device-specific side panel and a high-quality antenna for maximum transmission quality are, of course, included in the scope of delivery.
