The Döhmann Audio Helix Two Mk2 has been selected as the winner of the SoundStage! Australia Products of the Year 2019 Award in the Innovation in Design category. This is an annual award given by the SoundStage! Network which places importance on a product that offers a point of difference in terms of unique features, advanced engineering or innovative design.

In October 2019, Döhmann Audio released an updated version of the Helix 2, called the Mk2 version. It incorporates a new custom-made Swiss motor, new internal electronics, an outboard power supply, speed adjust functionality and some new improved high frequency absorption technology. The upgrades take what is already a premium performance turntable and make it even better with an even lower noise floor, improved dynamics, resolution and timing.

Son Ha Audio exhibited the Döhmann Audio Helix One turntable, partnered with Boulder amplification and Kaiser loudspeakers at the 2019 Vietnam High End International Show in November. At the conclusion of the show, the Helix One was awarded the Editor’s Choice Award for the best sounding turntable at the show. Döhmann Audio would like to thank the wonderful efforts of the team at Son Ha Audio for putting on a great show. We are proud to support the promotion of analogue in Vietnam.

We welcome you to attend the show and visit our room – we’d love to meet you!

The new Helix One upgrades will now be available in mid-2019.

A Helix One with a new PowerBase and carbon fibre top plate along with a Schroder CB tonearm and MySonic Labs Ultra Eminent EX cartridge teamed up with top of the line Lamm electronics, the Stiletto 1 Hifi stand from Soul to Sole, the Kharma Exquisite Classique loudspeakers and a full range of Kubala-Sosna cables to produce a very enjoyable sound at CES 2019. The music flowed and good times were had by attendees. Dohmann Audio would like to thank our exhibit partners for the opportunity to work with them & create some special memories.

Döhmann Audio has teamed up with the wonderful people from Lamm Industries, Kharma Loudspeakers & Kubala Sosna Cables to present what promises to be one of the most enjoyable hi-fi systems at the upcoming 2019 International CES show in Las Vegas (Jan 08-Jan11).

We will be presenting a Helix One turntable which incorporates some of the new 2019 upgrades – the new Swiss motor, the PowerBase unit and carbon fibre top plate. The carbon fibre armboards and the Vacuum Hold Down function will be available in the next few months.

We will be at the Venetian Tower, Suite 35-309 (35th floor, suite 309). Please come and visit us, we would love to meet you.

Carbon-fibre-reinforced-polymer, or simply Carbon Fibre, is a material made up of a woven carbon fibre fabric combined with a polymer resin which is then moulded to form a composite material. This is an extremely high strength, low weight material, mainly used in aerospace, aviation, automotive, racing and structural engineering.

Döhmann Audio has teamed up with a prominent Australian Carbon Fibre specialist (ex-Arrows Formula One) to create an option of replacing the top plate of the Helix One with a high-quality polished carbon fibre version. With its links to motorsport, the new carbon fibre top plate gives the Helix One a contemporary, racy, premium new aesthetic.

The Carbon Fibre option is available as an option for a new Helix One turntable or for a retrofit option for current owners.

Döhmann Audio has been developing a new carbon fibre composite armboard which promises to be a worthwhile upgrade option for the Helix One turntable. Should be ready for launch at the Munich High End 2019 show.

Döhmann Audio has introduced some major upgrades to the critically acclaimed Helix One Turntable. A new Swiss-manufactured motor is available which incorporates the very latest technology around constant torque performance and quietness of operation.

Our new ‘PowerBase’ is designed to enhance the performance of the Helix One system with a new power supply and control software to drive the new motor. It also has special high frequency and RF absorption features, a suspension stabiliser for ease of operation during record changeover, a lighting control system and power filtration functions. The new PowerBase replaces the separate control box in the first generation Helix One

From March 2019, all new Helix One turntables will incorporate the new motor, PowerBase, carbon fibre armboards & top plate upgrades as standard. For current owners of the Helix One, these upgrades will be available as a factory retro-fit.

Döhmann Audio now deals directly with a carefully selected team of Distributors and Dealers around the world. We will be providing full support to our customers through our partners as well as occasionally visiting different regions to do demonstrations and attending major hi-fi shows around the world. If you are a Döhmann Audio customer, or just interested in analogue audio, we would love to meet you!
