Advantages of a replaceable front panel with DSP for the Hellion series of automotive amplifiers:
1. Powerful sound processor: The panel is equipped with a new powerful certified – AEQ-100 Grade 3, 800 MHz "Hellion-chip" HI-FI sound processor of the 4th generation in 2024.
This processor is widely used in professional recording studios, radio broadcasting, film production and music industry. They allow engineers and musicians to achieve high-quality sound and implement complex sound projects.
2. The Sabre ES9840, the flagship audio technology from California, is responsible for converting the analog signal to digital (ADC). This top-of-the-line ADC combines cutting-edge technology and the highest sound quality. The main feature of which is a wide bandwidth with an ultra—low noise level and a very high dynamic range of up to 128 dB.
3. The SABRE ES9080Q from ESS Technology is responsible for the reverse conversion of the digital signal to analog (DAC)! This chip provides impeccable sound quality, supporting PCM streaming formats up to 32 bit/768 kHz and DSD up to DSD512. With a wide temperature range from -40°C to +125°C, the ES9080Q is ideal for premium car audio systems.
4. Matching amplifiers at the input and output with absolute channel independence. Forget about crosstalk! The internal circuits of the OPA1678/79 amplifier are designed so that each channel operates completely independently. This means that even at maximum load on any of the channels, the sound remains clear and crisp.
5. HIGH INPUT - For connection to standard audio systems, a high-level 16-channel input with floating load emulation is provided, the impedance of which is from 4 to 8 ohms with a wide range of input sensitivity from 6 to 32 Volts, which makes it easy to integrate the device into any system.
6. LOW INPUT - Our product features an impressive 6-channel low input that operates in the range of 0.5 to 6 Volts. It's the perfect solution for all your audio devices, delivering unparalleled sound quality. What makes our entrance special? Its impedance is 47 kOhm, which guarantees stable and clean signal transmission. You can be sure that your CD players, tape recorders and tuners will work at full capacity without fear of distortion and loss of quality.
7. LOW OUTPUT - there are 10 additional linear output channels with an output voltage of up to 6V RMS. This means that you can connect more devices and enjoy crystal clear sound.
In today's world, where sound quality is of paramount importance, we understand how important it is to minimize unnecessary sound conversions from analog to digital. Our digital inputs are designed to provide you with crystal clear and high-quality sound without unnecessary losses.
8. OPT-IN–S/PDIF (PCM) secure and noise-proof input. Due to the complete galvanic isolation of the connected devices, you can be sure of the reliability of data transmission. The optical channel used in our system is reliably protected from external influences and cannot be their source. This guarantees stability and sound quality in all conditions. Our device supports a resolution of up to 24 bits and a sampling rate of up to 192 kHz. This means that you will be able to hear every note and every nuance in the music like never before.
9. COAX-IN – independent input supports the most demanding file formats with sampling rates up to 24 bit/192 kHz. without loss of quality. The presence of galvanic isolation reduces electrical noise between the system devices, preventing possible interference and ensuring a stable connection.
10. USB audio input is not only a convenient way to connect devices, but also one of the highest quality audio interfaces in the Hi–Fi world. The second version of the USB Audio Class 2 standard has become the standard of quality in the world of digital sound. Today, digital Hi-Fi and High-End are unthinkable without USB support, and this is no coincidence!
11. U-DISK – built-in player with support for all modern audio formats:
DFF/DSF/DSD, WAV, FLAC, APE, AIFF, AAC, WMA, OGG, MP3 — enjoy music in the highest quality.
PCM: from 44.1 kHz to 768 kHz, bitrate up to 32 bits.
DSD: DSD64, DSD128, DSD256 — for true connoisseurs.
Control your music easily and conveniently!
Play your favorite tracks comfortably using the DRC LCD remote control with IPS screen.

Use the Hellion Music app on your mobile device (Android, iOS) for easy music management.
A wired and wireless HD version of the app is available for Android tablets.
Full control over your tracks is always with you!
12. BLUETOOTH - The built-in Bluetooth is not only designed for audio transmission, supporting various codecs AAC, SBC, aptX, aptX-HD, LDAC, but also allows you to control processor settings using the Hellion DSP mobile application.
13. DRC - (Data Rate Controller) is an interface for connecting peripheral devices to the processor. It is used to transfer data between the processor and external devices such as DRC-LCD, VOICE CONTROL, CAN CONTROL I/O controllers, network adapters and other peripheral devices.
14. LINK is a technology designed to extend the functionality of audio systems. It allows you to combine two panels into one device controlled by a single program. This increases the number of channels from 16 to 32, which is especially useful for professional audio systems. Perfect synchronization: No delays or failures — everything works like clockwork.
15. PC/UAC - A USB 2.0 input is used to configure the device using a personal computer. Galvanic isolation is provided to increase the reliability of the port.
Versatility: The modular solution opens up a new direction in automotive audio, allowing you to combine two panels and configure up to 32 channels.
Flexible settings: The panel offers flexible settings for filters, equalizer, time delays, and phase rotation, allowing you to fine-tune the sound to your preferences.
Lossless format support: The built-in player supports the full Lossless package, including DSD-256, which provides high-quality lossless audio.
Additional inputs and outputs: The panel has 6 RCA inputs, 16 high-level inputs, 10 preamp outputs, a USB port for PC connection, a DRC-LCD remote control input, a USB audio input and a control input with two configurable lines.
Automatic power-on: Automatically turns on when a high-level input signal appears, which ensures user-friendliness.
Compact dimensions: the panel dimensions are 285 x 50 x 25 mm
Overall, the interchangeable front panel with DSP provides extensive audio customization options in the car, ensuring high sound quality and ease of use.
