Introduction
AHM-16 and AHM-32 are audio matrix processors for sound management and installation. They are
designed for audio distribution, paging, conferencing, speaker processing in a multitude of environments
including corporate, hospitality, education, event and multi-purpose venues, retail, theatres, cruise ships,
sports venues.
The AHM processor is complemented by an extended ecosystem of remote audio expanders, remote
controllers, interfaces, apps and software. A family of portable, rack-mountable or wall-mount audio
expanders is available with a choice of proprietary point-to-point Layer-2 or Dante transport protocols.
A range of IP remote controllers is available for volume control, music source selection, preset recall and
more. AHM can also integrate with third party devices over GPIO, TCP/IP, or industry standard control
systems. The Custom Control editor and app from Allen & Heath offer more control options and custom
user interfaces for multiple users and device types, with kiosk and BYOD capability.
