AHM-64

SIMPLY SCALABLE

A scalable installed audio ecosystem.

AHM-64 is a powerful 64×64 Audio Matrix Processor supported by a comprehensive ecosystem of scalable I/O, control and Dante solutions. Designed to excel in corporate, retail, hospitality and education environments, AHM-64 allows integrators to quickly create systems that build from a single boardroom to a complete campus.

• 64×64 processing matrix 
• Sound management + installation
• 12×12 local analogue I/O
• I/O Port for audio networking, up to 128×128
• Dante 96kHz 64×64 option card
• 128×128 built-in SLink expansion port
• 64 configurable processing outputs

6 Ways AHM-64 Saves You Time & Money

• 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-64 unit are reflected in all connected IP remote controllers.
• No hidden costs. We don’t charge you for apps or slap on extra service fees. 
• No compromises. AHM-64’s powerful fixed architecture lets you apply any and all processing to every one of its 64×64 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-64 System Manager makes creating powerful audio systems easier than ever – no third-party programming or certified training needed.
• Go-to-solution. AHM-64 is a tremendously scalable solution, so invest a little time in AHM-64 and it’ll become your foundation for everything from bars to banks.

EVERYTHING I/O

AHM-64’s SLink port 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 up to 268 routable system inputs and outputs, AHM-64 can cater for projects ranging from a single room to large, distributed spaces.

A WORLD OF CONTROL

An AHM-64 system can be controlled using our range of remote controllers, GPIO and 3rd party devices. With up to 96 IP remote controllers over a standard TCP/IP network, every room can enjoy local volume control, source select and preset recall.

IP1 1x push n turn rotary 1x LCD display Wallplate (US or EU/UK standard) PoE
IP6 6x push n turn rotaries 18x SoftKeys 8x LCD displays Free standing or flush mount PoE or wall wart
IP8 8x 60mm motor faders 22x SoftKeys 8x LCD displays Free standing, flush mount or mic stand PoE+ or wall wart
GPIO 8x GPI 8x GPO (N/O) Half U, rack-mountable PoE or wall wart

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-64 system.

• Multiple user interfaces (per user, per device type)
• Custom graphics and background
• Kiosk mode
• BYOD friendly
• Optional password protection
• iOS / Android / Windows / Mac

ACOUSTIC ECHO CANCELLATION

The Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) module for AHM-64 provides 12 channels of AEC and is designed for teleconferencing and videoconferencing scenarios.

SYSTEM MANAGER SOFTWARE UNCOMPROMISED POWER AND FLEXIBILITY

Intuitive AHM System Manager software and AHM-64’s flexible architecture allow rapid configuration, with no certified programming training required. AHM-64 strikes a balance between the simplicity and set latency of fixed architecture, and the flexibility normally reserved for open architecture platforms, allowing it to handle sound management, paging, audio distribution, conferencing and speaker processing roles.

AHM-64 deploys next-generation FPGA technology and 96kHz sample rate, bringing acclaimed Allen & Heath sound quality and sub-millisecond latency to installation. The audio engine has 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.

DANTE SPOKEN HERE

A 64×64 channel Dante option card allows AHM-64 to seamlessly connect to amplifiers, microphones and other devices on a Dante network, including the DT164-W and DT168 Dante I/O expanders. The card can be switched between 96kHz and 48kHz to accommodate Dante networks running at either sample rate.

• 64×64 channel audio and control over a network
• 96kHz or 48kHz operation
• Two ports with redundant and switch modes
• Internal Control Network Bridge
• Locking Ethercon connectors
• Dante Domain Manager ready
• AES67 compatible

WAVES INTEGRATION

The SQ Waves option card provides AHM-64 unit with a 64×64, 96kHz or 48kHz interface to a Waves SoundGrid network using the I/O Port. Installers can now fit the Waves card to AHM-64 for Waves plugin processing, multitrack recording (at 96kHz or 48kHz) and audio distribution applications.

• 64×64 channel digital audio over a network
• 96kHz or 48kHz operation
• Integration with a Waves plugin server or Waves Native
• Multichannel recording / playback
• Two ports with integrated switch
• Internal Control Network Bridge
• Locking Ethercon connectors
