Introduction
AHM-64 is an audio matrix processor for sound management and installation. It is 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-64 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.
AHM-
64’s scalability supports up t
o 268 system inputs and system outputs, and up to 96 IP remote
controllers for volume control, music source selection, preset recall and more. It 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 with tailored user interfaces for multiple users and
device types, with kiosk and BYOD capability.
