AHM_Manager 1.4.0

AHM Manager

Plugin for controlling AHM series matrices

Asset Description

This Q-SYS Plugin provides full control of Allen & Heath AHM series matrix mixers over TCP. Connect to the matrixe and manage zones and control groups with mute, level, auto-mute fader-follow, and source selector controls directly from Q-SYS. Presets can be named and recalled directly from the plugin, with the active preset reflected automatically across all recall buttons. An optional TCP Server enables bidirectional integration with AHM Device Control, allowing the AHM to drive boolean controls on the Q-SYS Core. A built-in DCF file generator creates the matching Device Control configuration file ready for import into the AHM.
