Audio installers in search of the ultimate audio matrix processor for sound management and installation should look no further than the Allen & Heath AHM-64, an audio distribution, paging, conferencing, and speaker processing device, well suited for corporate, hospitality, education, event, and multipurpose venues including college campuses, retail, theaters, cruise ships, and sports arenas.

The AHM-64 works with an expanded ecosystem of remote audio expanders, remote controllers, interfaces, apps, and software. Utilize the family of portable, rackmountable, or wallmountable audio expanders available with a choice of proprietary point-to-point Layer-2 or Dante transport protocols. AHM works with a wide range of IP remote controllers for volume control, music source selection, preset recall, and more. You can also integrate with several 3rd party devices over GPIO, TCP/IP, or third-party devices.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is the USB I/O full duplex? For example, can you play back a set of tracks from ProTools and overdub 2 more tracks onto the session using this mixer as the USB interface? I could not get Pro Tools to recognize my old ZED10FX USB inputs and outputs at the same time.

A: It should work but there may be an issue with your settings in Pro Tools or on your console. Please contact Richard S. in Allen & Heath Tech Support at 1-800-431-2609, or at cases@a href= http://americanmusicandsound.fogbugz.com. target= _blank americanmusicandsound.fogbugz.com./a Thank you.

Q: 2. Does this also work for the DT168?

A: Based on the specifications the height on the AB168 and the DT168 is about an inch and based on this, the rack ears for the AB166 seem as though they would not be compatible with the DT168.

Q: 3. I recently purchased the A&H WZ4 16:2 which replaced the Mackie CR1604-VLZ 16-Channel mixer. I am finding that I have to push the Gain up really high to gain stage my mics. This is the case for all my mics (Shure SM58, Audio Technica system 9 Lav, etc.). Is this typical for this mixer or am I doing something wrong? I am getting noise and distortions in my live mix.

A: Hi Kenneth, I wouldn't say that's typical. Do you maybe have the attenuation pad accidentally engaged on your mic channels? If you continue to have issues, please reach out to our support: https://www.allen-heath.com/support/

Q: 4. Is this compatible with Serato?

A: No, the Allen & Heath XONE:23C DJ Mixer + Internal Soundcard is not directly compatible with Serato. The USB functionality of the sound card is not set up for Digital Vinyl Software use, but can be reconfigured to do so. This requires opening the mixer and A&H recommends this be done by an authorized service agent. More details on this process can be found on PG19 of the product manual: https://bhpho.to/3tQQAMB

Q: 5. Where can I get somebody to install the USB option that wont void my warranty?

A: For service that will not void your warranty, you will need an Authorized service center. You can contact the Allen & Heath US distributor at info@a href= http://AmericanMusicAndSound.com target= _blank AmericanMusicAndSound.com/a who should be able to assist you.

Q: 6. Can the headphone jack on this model be used to send a mono output to a powered monitor?

A: The Allen & Heath ZEDi-8 Compact Hybrid Mixer/USB Interface's headphone output could be connected to a powered speaker, but headphone outputs do not have the same impedance as true line outputs, and you may experience a degraded/weak signal when compared to a line output.

Q: 7. What are the dimensions of this mixer???

A: Detailed dimensions for this mixer can be found on page 22 of the PDF manual available here: https://www.allen-heath.com/media/AP9433_4_X23C_UG.pdf

Q: 8. Is the fan noisy?

A: The fan in this module should offer quiet operation.

Q: 9. Does this mixer come with a power cord or is that a separate purchase?

A: All Allen & Heath mixers come with AC power cords.

Q: 10. Does it comes with usb wire?

A: USB cable, carry case and LINK cable included.
