Audio installers in search of an audio matrix processor for sound management and installation should look no further than the Allen & Heath AHM-32, an audio distribution, paging, conferencing, and speaker processing device, well suited for corporate, hospitality, education, event, and multipurpose venues, and retail, theaters, cruise ships, and sports venues.

The AHM-32 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.

(preferably Studio One 3) What are some software comes with mixer? And also, is this a windows compatible for recording purposes? Does it record individual track per channel on DAW or any recording software? Do I need a speaker amplifier or it has already a built in amplifier?

A: This mixer does not come with a DAW. However with the newest firmware update, there are now templates to use this mixer with Cubase, Logic X, and Pro Tools. This is Windows compatible and you can also control it from an app from other devices. It does record individual tracks when using a DAW. As for speakers, this is just a mixer. Not a mixer/amplifier. The analog xlr outputs can either send signal to an amplifier or active speakers.
