Klark Teknik used the 113th AES convention in Los Angeles to launch the Helix DN9340 digital equalizer new offering a new
concept enabling flexible audio equalization for every application.
The Helix DN9340 is a dual channel digital audio equalizer packaged in a 2RU 19" rackmount format. Designed for simple and intuitive operation, the unit offers five main functions: dual 31-band graphic EQ with no less than five selectable modes of operation; dual 12-band fully parametric EQ; dynamic or "Threshold Dependent" (T-DEQ) EQ; four configurable filters per channel; and configurable delay of up to 1 second per channel. Like all Klark Teknik DSP devices, Helix is equipped with more than enough processing power to allow operation of all functions simultaneously.
The Threshold Dependent Dynamic EQ (T-DEQ) is a new Klark Teknik innovation. This is not a frequency-conscious compression -- rather, T-DEQ allows the user to select a frequency, apply 'Q', attack, and release values to it, and then program upper and/or lower levels for that frequency that will be attained when the chosen frequency reaches the programmed level(s). In real life this means total and accessible real-time dynamic control over any potential problem frequency.
The Helix DN9340 also offers a specific advantage to owners of Midas Heritage and Legend consoles in the form of an auto-solo function. When suitably connected and programmed, activating a Solo function on the console (whether input or output) will cause the Helix channel connected to it to appear in the control surface of the master unit, allowing instant access to all the Helix functions allocated to that input or output.
Helix comes with the standard Klark Teknik international five-year warranty.
