From bedrooms to boardrooms, houses of worship to iconic festivals, Allen & Heath has set the tone of audio technology for over 50 years.
Allen & Heath was in the vanguard of the first wave of great British mixer companies, starting life at the heart of London’s swinging music scene in 1969. In those early days we hand-built mixers for the top bands of the era, including Genesis, Pink Floyd and The Who.
Our current digital console range spans four iconic series, each a class-leader in its own right. The 96kHz dLive pro touring and installation family is founded on a uniquely flexible architecture, underpinned by the mighty XCVI FPGA core. Avantis is the latest 96kHz addition, turning heads with its twin HD touchscreens, super-slick Continuity UI and tough full metal chassis. Our SQ mixers have taken the audio world by storm, bringing full format features and exceptional 96kHz audio performance in a compact footprint. Completing the digital ‘big four’, the Qu series’ peerless ease of use makes it a much-loved industry standard that finds a home wherever the music plays.
In the analogue domain, we carved out our hard-won reputation for bulletproof build quality, rugged reliability and excellent audio quality with the tried and true GL and MixWizard consoles. Today’s ZEDi mini mixers are the direct inheritors of that legacy, offering the premium alternative in an analogue market flooded with forgettable budget desks and interfaces.
Allen & Heath has been developing dedicated installation products since the mid-1990s, bringing the brand’s signature audio performance and reliability to environments as diverse as banks, cruise ships, restaurants, hotels, houses of worship and anywhere people gather to communicate and celebrate. 2020 witnessed the arrival of the powerful new AHM-64 installation audio matrix processor, backed by an unrivalled ecosystem of scalable I/O, control and Dante solutions.
We are proud to design and specify all our mixers here at our state-of-the-art headquarters in beautiful Cornwall, UK. We have one of the biggest and best R&D teams in the industry, keeping us at the leading edge of mixing technology and constantly striving to create the best possible mixing experiences. Many key members of the Allen & Heath team are active sound engineers with years of hands-on experience, and we’re fortunate to have a network of leading audio professionals whose feedback helps to shape our designs to meet our customers’ real-world needs.
From the tiny ZEDi-8 to the largest dLive pro touring system, all mixers bearing the Allen & Heath logo are designed to our exacting audio and build quality standards. With a strong team behind us and our best-ever product range, we’re looking forward to playing a leading role in mixing technology in the years and decades ahead.
