The HELIX ISM 400.2DSP is a powerful 2-channel subwoofer amplifier module with an integrated 1-channel DSP. A compact and high-performance solution for modern subwoofer upgrades – it combines a powerful amplifier, signal processing, and a space-saving modular design.

The module is designed to be installed in place of the speaker terminal in Helix Impact pre-fabricated enclosures (MK2 revisions). By replacing the original terminal with the ISM 400.2DSP, a passive subwoofer becomes active – plus, you get a powerful DSP. Thanks to the SCP connection, it supports Helix wired level controllers.

The ISM 400.2DSP introduced the DeepImpact DSP algorithm, which dynamically restores the bass signal: it compensates for bass loss caused by high-pass filtering in factory systems and selectively emphasizes bass across signals in the entire frequency range. Thanks to its EV-Ready architecture, it is also suitable for hybrid and electric cars.

Also includes: ADEP.3, ACO, AISA, inputEQ, and Direct DSP.

Highlights:

  • 2 x 200 W @ 2 Ω (2 x 130 W @ 4 Ω)
  • Integrated 1-channel DSP, 64-bit / 295 MHz
  • DeepImpact bass compensation algorithm
  • RCA and speaker-level input, ACO automatic turn-on
  • Smart Control Port (SCP) – supports Helix level controllers
  • EV-Ready – suitable for hybrid and electric cars
  • Can be installed in Helix Impact MK2 enclosures
