Frequently Asked Questions
What mixing systems is the AH-IP-8 compatible with?
The AH-IP-8 is designed to work with Allen & Heath's AHM-64 matrix processors, as well as dLive and Avantis mixing systems. It integrates with these systems over a standard Ethernet connection.
How does the AH-IP-8 connect to a mixing system?

What do the OLED displays on each knob show?
Each of the eight knobs has its own dedicated OLED screen that displays the parameter name, current value, and other contextual information, so you always know exactly what each knob is controlling.
