EISA
Award for Helix PP50 |
Plug & Play Soundprocessor Helix
PP50 DSP became winner in the category In-Car Integration
This year
the international jury honored Audiotec Fischer’s
Helix PP50 DSP plug ‘n play amplifier with digital signal
processor with the popular award. The EISA journalists agreed: “The
Helix PP50 DSP is the ea-siest way to enhance the sound in your
factory fitted car audio system. Adding extra power and a fully
featured digital sound processor is made very easy with just one
plug’n'play connector and the device is small enough to be
hidden anywhere.” Best of all is from the jury’s point
of view the usability: “It can be set-up by simply inserting
a microSD card resulting in perfect alignment for your particular
car model. Alternatively, every function of the DSP can be set
manually via the provided PC software and if you don’t need
a sound processor you can use the Helix by setting basic crossovers
switches. Thanks to its 56 bit processor and latest amplifier technology
the result will always be an improvement of sound that is hard
to believe and all within a minute.”

Blaupunkt “calling” |
Hands-free systems for greater mobility
and safety not only in the car
·
Using the telephone with Blaupunkt: any way any place ·
Six different models designed to meet different individual needs Hildesheim,
13 July 2011 – Hands-free systems have now become
so popular that they are used in many different places,
not only in cars. Whether you’re busy with the housework,
in the garden or doing sports, having your hands free when
using the telephone instead of having to hold onto the speaker and microphone
is getting higher and higher on the list of “must-haves” for
many users. Blaupunkt has recognized this trend and now
plans to launch a comprehensive model series onto the
market for the first time in the second half of 2011.
In contrast to conventional hands-free systems that are used in combination
with the car radio, the BT Drive Free 111, 112, 211, 311, 411 and 511
models are completely independent and fully portable. Unlike solutions
that use a headphone, these handy devices, equipped with
a speaker, microphone and a powerful rechargeable battery,
can also be used for telephone conferences.

Design at AMICOM 2011 |
Speed up and crank up with Cruden and
Rockford Fosgate!
Rockford Fosgate is providing visitors to its AMICOM stand with an
unforgettable and thrilling journey through the world of sound and
racing fascination. Guests will get a rare chance to experience Rockford
Fosgate’s sound systems while driving a Cruden professional
interactive racing simulator. The Cruden Hexatech 6-DOF (i.e. movement
via full motion base) simulator is the exact same professional equipment
as used by motorsport companies at the highest level. It allows racing
enthusiasts to drive in several racing formats such as Formula 1,
NASCAR and endurance sports car racing, as at the 24-hours of Le
Mans, without the risk of accidents or the expensive bills! While
speeding up, cornering and braking on the racetrack, drivers will
appreciate the accurate force feedback delivered by the state-of-the-art
electromechanical system. Three 42-inch screens immerse the driver
in the race while a spectator view means friends and supporters can
watch the fun too.
Cruden has recently adopted Rockford Fosgate equipment
in its Hexatech and Hexathrill simulators for motorsport, automotive
and
entertainment customers. Two powerful amplifiers and the speaker
components of Rockford’s Power Series plus three of the unique
I-Beam Tactile transducers are fitted. Rockford Fosgate's IBeam
tactile transducer gives the kick of a good subwoofer, without
the need to crank up the system up to an overly high level. The
IBeam attaches to a hard surface in the simulator, vibrating when
it receives a low-frequency signal from the amp. This provides
a feeling of powerful bass through the body without high-volume
sound output caused by compressed air. AMICOM Hall 5, Booth B01 |

serves as the head unit. The sound system, consisting of speakers from
the BG series, a digital amplifier from the plug’n’play
program and an active subwoofer provide for an optimum
sound experience during the rallye. Blaupunkt is happy
to support the Allgäu-Orient Rallye and the
charity that will profit from it. This type of event and
the enthusiasm of everyone involved reflect exactly what
the Blaupunkt brand stands for. The Allgäu-Orient
Rallye is an event born out of the desire to do social good and a
passion for motor sports. Approx. 500 drivers in 100 teams will take
part in the 6th edition of the rallye with a total of
250 vehicles. At the end of the rallye through 13 countries,
the vehicles will be auctioned off and the money donated to

Focal
launches new Car- Damping Products |
Acoustic insulation kit, easy and simple
installation
After ten years of good and loyal service, the Focal “Plain
chant” – acoustic insulation for cars – universally
popular,
gives way to B.A.M..
Functioning
Contrary to a car installation, an acoustic loudspeaker at home benefits
from perfect damping and insulation thanks to its wooden
cabinet and its internal acoustic foam. Reaching the same efficiency
in a car audio installation actually requires very different
means. Focal has worked on a simple and efficient solution and has
developed the new B.A.M. panels! They represent the best solution to optimize your vehicle acoustic insulation.
Design
The Focal B.A.M. acoustic complex is a sandwich panel, which is a
combination of specific visco-elastic damping and an Aluminum
sheet coated with acoustic foam.
Ultra-simple installation!
Focal B.A.M. is made of self-adhesive panels that you stick directly
on the metal sheet, it’s a material very easy to install.
Maximum efficiency!
Butyl absorbs parasite vibrations, whereas Aluminum efficiently reinforces
it through a well-defined sandwich effect, the acoustic
damping being taken care of by the foam. |

Focal´s
new AMP Generation |
Focal is launching its new line of amplifiers in perfect line with “The
Spirit of Sound”. The Focal Power Symmetrics are amplifiers
dedicated to music lovers but also to people in search for a true
audiophile amplifier.
It’s made of two two-channel amplifiers, 2 x 105W RMS for the
first one and 2 x 155W RMS into 4 ohms for the second one. A four-channel
amplifier of 120W RMS minimum power into 4 ohms and 160W RMS into
2 ohms per channel in class AB. A mono-channel class D amplifier
offering 320W RMS into 4 ohms or 750W RMS into 1 ohm at 0.8% THD+N.
The expression of the Focal experience in the high-fidelity field,
the spirit and the concept that prevailed when studying the Symmetric
line are the reflection of the chosen solutions for the best high-end
and high-fidelity amplifiers.
Among other sophistications, there’s the dual mono symmetric
construction (PCB circuits in perfect mirror) that clearly increases
the independent performance of the channels while it improves the
staging and the stereo disassociation. even before the thermo-regulated
fan begins rotating from 50°C. |

for every trunk. For information please contact the distributor Audio
