HELIX Extension Card slot (HEC slot)
It is possible to extend the functionality of the HELIX
DSP MINI MK2 by adding further interfaces like a
Bluetooth
®
Audio Streaming module, a High Reso-
lution Audio USB soundcard etc.
To install a HELIX Extension Card it is necessary
to remove the side panel of the DSP MINI MK2 and
replace it by the new side panel that comes with the
HEC module.
Attention: Install the HEC module only in the
designated device and its specific slot. Using
the HEC module in other devices or slots can
result in damage of the HEC module, the signal
processor, the head unit / car radio or other con-
nected devices!
