UK-based audio mixer manufacturer Allen & Heath has announced their collaboration with leading manufacturers in the audiovisual industry to deliver easy control and monitoring via their AHM audio matrix processor range.
“It’s important to us that AHM users can fully enjoy a simple and scalable system,” says Samantha Potter, Commercial Audio Manager at Allen & Heath. “That’s why we’ve ensured our AHM mixers provide everything needed to control the equipment and brands people already know and trust.”
The AHM series features DCFs (Device Control Files) that can be built and imported or easily designed from scratch to meet the needs of all kinds of projects. There are even pre-built drivers enabling the control of popular third-party equipment – no building needed. Each file includes the commonly used parameters and functions, so teams can get projects running quickly and cost-effectively.
Because AHM works seamlessly with Allen & Heath’s free, customisable Custom Control app, as well as their IP Controllers and CC touch panels, deploying these controls for end users has never been easier.
“We’ve collaborated with manufacturers to enable easy control of third-party products including Audio-Technica’s ES Wireless, ATND and System 20 PRO,” explains Potter. “There’s also support for Sennheiser’s TeamConnect ceiling range, Visionary Solutions’ large range of devices, general PTZ Camera Control, and Projector Control – all seamlessly importable and usable with AHM. You can use them as is or customise them further based on the equipment’s API.”
For those looking to get the most from AHM, Allen & Heath offers a free on-demand course on their website, alongside live online AHM certifications. Additionally, the company also runs regular live online Control Network Certification classes, covering DCFs, 3rd party control, GUI design and more. Discover the available learning resources here.
