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.

Audio 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
