HELIX AMPLIFY 206 DSP - 6 Channel Bridgeable Amplifier | 8ch DSP

Maximum flexibility and performance in a compact, bridgeable 6-channel amplifier

The AMPLIFY 206 DSP expands the 2-Series with a highly versatile 6-channel option that covers a wide range of applications in modern vehicles. Thanks to their fully bridgeable architecture, the amplifiers can be configured flexibly in 3-, 4-, 5- or 6-channel operation. Its high output power and compact Class-D design make it suitable for fully active 3-way front systems in 6-channel mode as well as classic 5-channel layouts, where channels 1–4 drive the front and rear speakers while the bridged channels 5/6 deliver up to 380 Watts RMS at 4 Ω to a dedicated subwoofer. Altogether, the 206 DSP provides ample performance reserves with 6 x 100 Watts RMS at 4 Ω, 6 x 190 Watts RMS at 2 Ω or 3 x 380 Watts RMS bridged at 4 Ω, making it ideal for everything from refined multi-way concepts to dynamic front/rear/subwoofer configurations.

With its integrated 8-channel signal processor, the 206 DSP offers a level of flexibility that is rarely found in its class. The AMPLIFY 206 DSP combines compact dimensions with impressive dynamics, clean headroom and excellent controllability – ideal for powerful front systems, complex OEM multi-channel architectures and setups where a single device is expected to handle as many tasks as possible.

AMPLIFY 206DSP – Full-fledged HELIX DSP power in a compact 6-channel amplifier

The AMPLIFY 206 DSP combines a powerful 6-channel Class D amplifier with a full-featured 8-channel HELIX DSP – bringing more than 15 years of HELIX DSP expertise into the compact AMPLIFY 2-Series. At its core sits a 64 Bit fixed-point audio DSP, complemented by high-quality AD/DA converters and the fast, stable ACO platform. Together, these elements form the same technological foundation used in our larger HELIX DSP systems: precise signal processing, high computing performance and a consistently reliable architecture. This gives the AMPLIFY 206 DSP a level of audio performance and functionality that is rarely achieved in this form factor – positioning it as a particularly powerful and highly efficient price-performance solution within the HELIX DSP amplifier lineup.

With DSP PC-Tool 6, the latest iteration of our in-house tuning software is fully supported. Its signal-path-oriented interface enables a clear and intuitive navigation across the entire setup. Precise EQ tools, flexible filter options and time-alignment functions enable focused, vehicle-specific sound tuning, while the integrated RTA supports accurate in-car acoustic analysis and helps refine detailed tuning decisions. Additional features such as Virtual Channel Processing and HELIX sound effects – including Augmented Bass Processing, RealCenter and more – help structure complex configurations clearly and offer creative options for further shaping the sound signature.

In total, the AMPLIFY 206 DSP delivers HELIX-grade sound quality, flexibility and technological depth in an exceptionally compact and efficient all-in-one package.

ACO – Advanced 32 Bit CoProcessor platform

Rapid processing power beyond the signal path – the high-performance 32 Bit ACO platform handles all control tasks and ensures ultra-fast data communication with the DSP PC-Tool software, including lightning-fast switching between up to ten sound setups.
But ACO offers even more: integrated features like Augmented Bass Processing, RealCenter, Dynamic Loudness Control (DLC), and Remote Tone Control (RTC), along with the new Advanced Input Signal Analyzer (AISA), provide unmatched tuning versatility and allow analysis and compensation of input signals from factory sound systems that already contain sound settings.

HELIX AMPLIFY – Power. Clarity. Purpose.

With the AMPLIFY series, HELIX redefines the idea of modern amplifier design – by reinterpreting classic concepts through the lens of today’s audio demands. Rather than designing one amplifier to do everything, the focus lies on specialized models, each tailored for a specific type of application. This clear philosophy ensures every variant delivers exactly what’s needed – and nothing you don’t.
The 2-Series marks the entry into the AMPLIFY platform – and forms its technical and tonal core. These compact Class D amplifiers combine powerful performance, a fully bridgeable multi-channel architecture, and excellent efficiency with seamless real-world integration. Brilliant and precise treble, a controlled mid-range as well as tight, powerful bass – the 2-Series brings out every nuance of natural, powerful sound, outperforming the expectations of its class in both sound quality and output. Whether as a DIRECT, X-OVER, or DSP variant: from flexible 6-channel setups for fullrange applications to dedicated mono powerhouses for subwoofers – the 2-Series offers tailored solutions for every configuration.

Sound and power – above the standard

The AMPLIFY 2-Series is more than just a range of application-specific solutions – it's a clear commitment to a very specific mission: to outperform expectations in each of those applications – both in sound quality and power delivery. All amplifiers in the series offer brilliant sound performance, minimal distortion, and an outstanding signal-to-noise ratio – combined with fully bridgeable multi-channel outputs for maximum output and installation flexibility. The result: a lineup that doesn’t define itself by its class, but sets new benchmarks within it – making AMPLIFY the first choice for those seeking application-focused performance without compromise.

Form follows performance

The design of the HELIX AMPLIFY 2-Series blends modern functionality with a refined, technical aesthetic. Its compact dimensions allow for flexible installation, even in tight spaces. A removable top cover conceals all connections and controls, offering additional protection as well as a clean and streamlined appearance that highlights the amplifier’s high-quality character. Matte surfaces, sharp contours, and a minimalist design language create a sleek, exclusive look that integrates seamlessly into any modern vehicle interior.
