Handcrafted Beneath the surface of Helix’s elegant exterior lies rigid MDF construction. Interlocking joinery maximizes the strength of the cabinet parts. Polyester fiberfill is selected for internal damping. A sharp rap on the enclosure will leave you with little more than bruised knuckles.

1. A speaker setup (left) that works well with HELIX follows these ratios: Distance, d1, between the speakers (center to center) = Distance, d2, from plane of speaker front to listener. 2. Toe the speakers into the listening area. In most circumstances crossing speaker axes just slightly behind of the listener’s head works best.

The Terminal Plate The four-way HELIX requires the user to provide three channels of amplification per speaker. This may be accomplished via three stereo amplifiers, a combination of mono blocks and stereo amplifiers, or a single six-channel amplifier. HELIX includes an internal 750-watt amplifier to power the subwoofer section. A balanced XLR input feeds the subwoofer, while three pairs of premium WBT Platinum five-way binding posts are provided for the mid bass, midrange and treble inputs.
