Introduction 

The IP6 is part of the Allen & Heath IP Series of remote controllers. It interfaces with the 

AHM, dLive or Avantis mixing system via standard TCP/IP Network connections and can 

therefore be networked with other controllers, computers and third party devices using 

standard  Ethernet  infrastructure.  It  can  be  powered  by  an  external  12V  PSU  or  over 

Ethernet (PoE). 

The  IP6  controls  and  functions  are  programmed  using  the  AHM  System  Manager 

software, dLive Surface / Director software, or Avantis mixer / Director software, and can 

suit a number of applications including: 

-

 

Personal Monitoring 

 The IP6 can be configured to control the Send levels, 

Pans and assignments of multiple channels to a specific mix on the 

dLive/Avantis, for example for wireless IEM use, giving musicians the freedom 

to control their own monitor sound. 

 

-

 

Installation 

 The installer or system integrator can configure the IP6 to 

provide the degree of control needed by the day to day operator, for example 

the levels of microphones and music sources in a room.
