Allen & Heath has struck a partnership with Audio-Technica to deliver extended AHM Audio Matrix Processor functionality and control of Engineered Sound Wireless System products and ATND1061 Beamforming Ceiling Array Microphone.
Designed to accommodate the needs of applications from corporate and hospitality to education and houses of worship, AHM’s compatibility with the Audio-Technica solutions extends the possibilities for creating fully-integrated audio systems with simple set-up and control options.
When used in conjunction with the ATND1061 microphone, the AHM processors enable control and monitoring of features including (but not limited to) mute, preset recall and saving, Automatic Echo Cancellation and Automatic Gain Control. With ESW series products, AHM can control mute and high-pass filter operation, and display battery level information. Users can also add functionality in AHM System Manager software and Allen & Heath’s cross-platform Custom Control app, tailored to suit project requirements. The integration of the AHM system ensures users are aware of current status,with mute LEDs, for example, displaying both on the AHM processor panel and the microphone units themselves.
‘This collaboration with Allen & Heath connects Audio-Technica microphone data into the AHM processor ecosystem, simplifying control, enabling flexible monitoring, and enhancing programmable room behaviour around real-time conditions. We’re excited to bring this integrated experience to customers and expanding our partnership with Allen & Heath,’ says Audio-Technica Global Strategic Partnerships & Alliance Manager, Matt Markgraf.
‘Partnering with Audio-Technica made sense for a number of reasons,’ says Allen & Heath Install & Commercial Audio Manager, Samantha Potter We’re hoping that with these new features, customers and users can have more access to the tools and brands they love without making concessions or overcomplicating the final design. With AHM and Allen & Heath’s suite of integration tools alongside Audio-Technica, we believe we’re helping integrators build a solution best-fit for each of their customers.’
