Allen & Heath AHM-64 64x64 Audio Matrix Processor

Expand your installed sound system with the AHM-64 Audio Matrix Processor from Allen & Heath. Scale up your installation and sound management with up to 64 zones, 96 controllers, and hundreds of other options with the help of the AHM-64’s system I/O. This powerful 64x64 matrix processor is supported by a comprehensive ecosystem of scalable I/O, control, and Dante solutions.

Designed to excel in corporate, retail, hospitality, event, and education environments, AHM-64 allows integrators to quickly create systems that build from a single boardroom to a complete campus. No matter what your venue, you can use the AHM-64 for audio distribution, paging, conferencing, and speaker processing. From theaters to cruise ships, this matrix processor provides the versatility and power you need to complete your sound system and deliver stellar audio.

Save your presets and store audio files easily with the AHM-64. This matrix processor supports playback of stereo or dual mono .WAV, MP3, and FLAC files. Expand your storage space with its local Slink Ethernet audio expansion port, which provides access of up to 128x128 I/O and allows for a remote connection and preamp control using Allen & Heath’s audio expanders via one Cat5e or higher cable (all external equipment sold separately). Use the included RJ45 Control Network port at the rear of the unit to connect to System Manager software, IP remote controllers, Custom Control app, and TCP control.

Ideal for multi-event facilities, the AHM-64 allows you to save up to 50 individual events that can be named and scheduled for recall at specific times and dates, as well as customized as recurring for weekly or monthly events. This unit also enables you to create and store up to 32 individual user profiles, each with an editable name, password, and permission settings. Boasting a 96kHZ sample rate, the AHM-64 is 2U rack-mountable, allowing you to permanently integrate it into your sound setup.
