Allen&Heath - AHM-16

The abbreviation AHM conceals a range of powerful audio matrix processors that offer a system of inputs and outputs, remote management, and integration of Dante protocol. Designed primarily for fixed installations, corporate buildings, educational institutions, and other spaces, the system is fully scalable and suitable for individual classrooms as well as entire campuses.

AHM-16 is an audio matrix processor for system applications and installations. It is intended for sound distribution, paging, conference use, and speaker processing. In a variety of applications for companies, retail stores, restaurants, hotels, educational institutions, theaters, multipurpose centers, excursion ships, and sports facilities.

For the AHM-16 processor, there is a whole ecosystem of input and output audio expanders, remote controllers, interfaces, applications, and software. Portable, rack-mounted, and wall-mounted installation audio expanders are available with audio transmission over the DX bus (Layer-2) or Dante.
