- With our full off-the-shelf ecosystem of control and expansion options, you don’t need to waste time sourcing and configuring third party gear.
- Cut your aftersales callouts with Automatic Firmware Matching – updates to the AHM processor are reflected in all connected IP remote controllers and DX expanders.
- No hidden costs. We don't charge you for apps or slap on extra service fees.
- No compromises. AHM’s powerful fixed architecture lets you apply any and all processing to every one of its inputs and outputs if you so desire – so you never run out of processing and don't waste time juggling resources.
- Easy to Learn. With its slick, smart GUI, AHM System Manager makes creating powerful audio systems easier than ever – no third-party programming or certified training needed.
- Go-to-solution. AHM is a tremendously scalable solution, so invest a little time in it and it’ll become your foundation for everything from bars to banks.
UNCOMPROMISED POWER AND FLEXIBILITY
AHM processors deploy next-generation FPGA technology and 96kHz sample rate, bringing acclaimed Allen & Heath sound quality and sub-millisecond latency to installation. The audio engines have the power to deliver far more processing than the usual open architecture platforms, including 8-band PEQ, gate, compressor and delay on all input channels, and 8-band PEQ, 30-band GEQ, compressor, ANC, source selector, limiter and delay on all zone outputs.
SLink* allows plug 'n play connection to up to 8 remote expanders from Allen & Heath’s extensive Everything I/O range, which includes wall mount, rack and portable options. With hundreds of routable system inputs and outputs, AHM can cater for projects ranging from a single room to large, distributed spaces.

CUSTOM CONTROL APP
Designing the perfect user interface for each type of user has never been so easy. Custom Control is a customizable, cross-platform control app, providing elegant, bespoke control over an AHM system.
- Multiple user interfaces (per user, per device type)
- Custom graphics and background
- Kiosk mode
- BYOD friendly
- Optional password protection
- iOS / Android / Windows / Mac
CC-7 & CC-10
Touch Panels for Custom Control
Perfect companions for AHM matrix processors, dLive or Avantis systems in installations, CC-7 and CC-10 are control touch panels for desktop or wall mount use. Powered by the Allen & Heath Custom Control app, they can operate as fixed control devices or complementing a BYOD solution. From simple music source selection to level control, preset recall or paging, they offer an alternative to our range of IP remote controllers for applications where a touchscreen interface is preferred.
TRANSFORMING AUDIO INSTALLATIONS
ACOUSTIC ECHO CANCELLATION
The Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) module for AHM-64 and AHM-32 provides multiple channels of AEC and is designed for teleconferencing and videoconferencing scenarios.
AHM SYSTEM MANAGER
The intuitive AHM System Manager software and AHM’s flexible architecture allow rapid configuration, with no certified programming training required. AHM matrix processors strike a balance between the simplicity and set latency of fixed architecture, and the flexibility normally reserved for open architecture platforms, allowing them to handle sound management, paging, audio distribution, conferencing and speaker processing roles.
Channels view
Horizontal signal-flow and processing diagram, with clear visibility of what is available, what is / isn’t active, and mouse-over real time audio monitoring.
Assign view
Zoomable matrix view for I/O and routing, with optional level and mute indication, and including Tieline patching and Zone to Zone routing for unparalleled flexibility.
AUDIO NETWORKING
Dante I/O cards allow AHM matrix processors to connect to amplifiers, microphones and other devices on a Dante network, including the DT164-W and DT168 expanders. 96/48kHz, DDM ready and AES67 compatible.
The Waves card provides AHM processors with a 64×64, 96kHz or 48kHz interface to a Waves SoundGrid network using the I/O Port.
The 128x128 SLink card gives AHM-16 and AHM-32 processors access to the Everything I/O range of audio expanders, and adds further I/O capability to AHM-64.
A MADI 48kHz/96kHz card is also available, with two coaxial links and a dedicated word clock BNC for synchronization with broadcast or AV equipment.
