With great joy, Audiotec Fischer announces the honor of winning not one, but two of the prestigious EISA Awards in this year! The BRAX REVELATION RX2 PRO has been named "In-Car Amplifier" of the year, while the HELIX V EIGHTEEN DSP has claimed the title in the "In-Car Premium Upgrade" category. This double recognition highlights the exceptional innovation and unparalleled design of our latest amplifier concepts. The Expert Imaging and Sound Association – a globally respected collective of online and print journalists from 60 technology magazines across 29 countries, who collaborate in expert groups covering areas such as Hi-Fi, Home Cinema, Photo and Video as well as In-Car and Mobile Electronics – annually bestows these prestigious awards on the best products in the industry.
“The joy and pride that this double EISA Award brings us are immeasurable! This recognition impressively shows that our continuous pursuit of the highest standards in design, technology, and sound quality not only bears fruit but also sets new benchmarks. A heartfelt thank you to the Expert Imaging and Sound Association for this outstanding appreciation of our work.”

That the BRAX REVELATION RX2 PRO receives the EISA Award in the "In-Car Amplifier" category right at its market launch is a particularly special success. This award is of essential importance as it marks a decisive turning point in the history of BRAX: For the first time, we have taken the bold step of incorporating Class-D technology into the BRAX series – a technological leap that was previously unimaginable. After three years of intensive development work, the RX2 PRO is now setting new standards in the car audio sector – with performance values that surpass anything that has come before. The EISA had this to say:
“What was previously unthinkable is now reality: With the BRAX REVELATION RX2 PRO, Audiotec Fischer is introducing the first ‘digital’ power amplifier under the Brax brand name. In order to use Class-D technology to match or even surpass Brax’s analogue high-end amplifiers, the BRAX REVELATION RX2 PRO is the first automotive-grade version of Purifi’s innovative ‘Eigentakt’ technology, which sets new standards in terms of performance and sound. The BRAX REVELATION RX2 PRO uses the best available components; it can be equipped with either an analogue input module with TI / BurrBrown operational amplifiers or a digital module with ESS converters, ensuring the very best signal quality in every case. The result is, on one hand, the immense power of 2 x 300 watts at 4 ohms or 2 x 510 watts at 2 ohms, and, on the other and much more importantly, the absence of any distortion and noise. If you are looking for a modern, compact Class-D power amplifier with real high-end quality, you will find what you are looking for in the BRAX REVELATION RX2 PRO.”
The HELIX V EIGHTEEN DSP has been awarded the title of best product 2024-2025 in the "In-Car Premium Upgrade" category. This multifunctional marvel combines an extremely powerful 18-channel amplifier with a 20-channel DSP, all within an incredibly compact form factor. With two integrated DSPs, up to 120 Watts per channel, and 18 high-level inputs, the V EIGHTEEN DSP represents the perfect upgrade for demanding sound systems. This combination of compactness, power, and flexibility sets new standards in the realm of premium sound upgrades and was rightfully recognized by the EISA:
“If you want to upgrade a current vehicle with top equipment and better sound, you can’t go past the Helix V EIGHTEEN DSP. It is the only amplifier on the market that, with its 18 channels, can compete with modern multi-channel factory systems, requiring only one box to be installed. The 18 inputs and 20 DSP channels enable IOR (input-to-output routing), in which the vehicle channels run 1:1 through the DSP and the amplifier - the most practical way to improve the sound in multi-channel systems. The signal processor is equipped with two processor cores for the necessary computing power and it benefits from the outstanding ‘DSP PC-Tool’ software, which has a lot of proprietary features such as virtual channels, TuneEQ or measurement options that are unique on the market such as RTA or the Advanced ISA. In addition, owners of the Helix V EIGHTEEN DSP can enjoy the finest HiFi sound thanks to the latest Class-GD amplifier technology with a total output of more than 1000 watts from the highly efficient power supply. “
