Overview
The AHM-32 is a 1U, 96kHz audio matrix processor with a 32 x 32 matrix and 32 configurable processing outputs for mono or stereo zones or speaker processing. It is a strong fit for churches, schools, corporate meeting rooms, hotels, restaurants, bars and small to mid size venues where you need reliable zoning, paging and wall plate control.
It has 12 mic/line inputs and 12 relay protected line outputs on Phoenix connectors, a front panel screen with 8 SoftKeys and channel metering, and an I/O port that takes one SQ style audio networking card up to 128 x 128. Processing matches the AHM-64: gate, 8-band PEQ, compression and delay on every input; PEQ, 28-band GEQ, compressor, delay, ANC and limiter on every zone; plus 2, 3 or 4-way speaker crossovers. Four automatic mic mixers handle up to 32 mics, and an internal slot takes the M-AHM-32-AX processing expansion module for 12 channels of AEC or up to 8 feedback suppression engines.
Configuration is in AHM System Manager with room combining, 16 user profiles, stereo playback, an event scheduler, NTP, TCP/IP and Crestron, AMX and Extron drivers.
Highlights
- 32 x 32 matrix, 96kHz FPGA core, under 1 ms analogue latency
- 12 mic/line in, 12 relay protected line out on Phoenix
- I/O port for Dante, MADI, Waves or SLink cards, up to 128 x 128
- 4 automatic mic mixers, up to 32 mic sources
- Optional M-AHM-32-AX module: 12 ch AEC or 8 FBS engines
- Front panel screen, 8 SoftKeys, 16 user profiles
- ANC, priority ducking, room combining, event scheduler
- 1U, 2 x 2 local GPIO plus networkable GPIO
Compatibility
Works with:
- I/O port (one card): M-SQ-DANT32 or M-SQ-DANT64 for Dante at 96kHz or 48kHz (AES67, DDM ready), M-SQ-MADI, M-SQ-WAVES3-A, M-SQ-SLINK-A. The original M-SQ-DANTE card is not supported.
- With M-SQ-SLINK-A fitted: DX168, DX164-W, DX012, DX88-P (up to 2 chained), DX32, DX-HUB (up to 8 DX), GX4816 at 96kHz; AB168, AR2412, AR84 at 48kHz (up to 2). The AHM-32 has no built in SLink port, so expanders need the SLink card.
- With a Dante card: DT168, DT164-W and the DT02, DT20, DT22 interfaces.
- Control: IP1, IP6, IP8, the 8 x 8 GPIO interface and CC-7 / CC-10 touch panels.
- Processing expansion: M-AHM-32-AX (AHM-32 only).
Requires AHM firmware V1.20 or later (first AHM-32 release); FBS needs V1.60.

Forefront Tip
The single I/O port is the choice point: if you need both Dante and A&H expanders, go Dante (M-SQ-DANT32 is plenty for most rooms) and use DT168 or DT164-W stageboxes, or step up to the AHM-64 which has SLink built in. For hybrid meeting rooms, order the M-AHM-32-AX with the unit.
