The Allen & Heath AHM-16 (AH-AHM-16) is a 16x16 audio matrix processor for sound management and installation, with 8x8 local analog I/O and a 96kHz FPGA core. It handles audio distribution, paging, conferencing, and speaker processing.
Allen & Heath AHM-16 Features
- 16x16 processing matrix. The AHM-16 routes and processes 16 inputs to 16 outputs on a 96kHz FPGA core with ultra-low latency.
- 8x8 local analog I/O. 8 local analog inputs and 8 outputs connect mics, music sources, and amplifiers directly to the processor without extra hardware.
- Sound management tools. An automatic mic mixer, ambient noise compensation, priority ducking, and 8-band PEQ, dynamics, and delay on every input and zone.
- Speaker processing. Each zone has speaker processing with crossover filter, delay, limiter, and PEQ, so one box tunes every speaker in the building.
- Remote controllers and apps. Works with Allen & Heath IP1, IP6, and IP8 remote controllers, plus the Custom Control editor and app for BYOD and kiosk control.
- Expansion and networking. An I/O port takes cards for expansion or audio networking up to 128x128, including 96kHz Dante, MADI, Waves, and SLink.
- GPIO and scheduling. 2x2 local GPIO plus the networkable GPIO interface, an event scheduler, and 4 user profiles handle automated and multi-user sites.
