For installers

Full command of the installation.

Behind the apparent simplicity of the Ami matrices lies power engineered for the most demanding installers.

High-precision DSP, comprehensive configuration software, multiple communication protocols and fine-grained user-rights management: every aspect of the range has been designed to give you total control over your installations, from commissioning to day-to-day operation.

<10 sboot time

2×SHARC on the 16×16 models

Impressive processing power.

The ADI SHARC 21489 processor built into every Ami matrix delivers signal processing of remarkable precision and speed. On the 16×16 models, two processors work in tandem to absorb the most complex configurations without ever faltering.

Total freedom

You are the creator.

The AmiControl software goes beyond matrix control: it becomes the tool you use to design the user experience of your installation.

From the Windows interface, you define exactly what each user has access to — which zones, which sources, which levels.

16exportable presets

3platforms — Windows, iOS, Android

Complete, secure software.

AmiControl gives access to every parameter of the matrix through a clear, structured Windows interface. The 16 exportable presets let you duplicate a configuration from one site to another in seconds.

User-rights management ensures that each person only accesses what you have chosen to entrust to them.

Android · iOS

For Android and iOS devices, you build the control interface visually: faders, buttons, source selectors, all within a graphic environment you choose.

What your end client sees and touches is entirely up to you.

Integration

A matrix that communicates.

Ami matrices fit naturally into the most complex environments thanks to their support for the RS232, RS485 and UDP protocols.

The 8×8 and 16×16 models also provide 8 GPIO, configurable as inputs or outputs, to interact with third-party equipment.

The Dante versions add the industry-standard audio network layer, for total integration into modern AV infrastructures.

Version

Ami08 rear panel: mains power, Ethernet, RS485 and RS232, 8 GPIO, line outputs and mic/line inputs on Euroblock

Ami08D rear panel: same connectors as the Ami08, plus primary and secondary Dante/AES67 network ports

Mains power — 110-240 V AC
Ethernet — network control of the matrix
RS485 and RS232 for third-party integration
8 GPIO configurable as inputs or outputs
Balanced Euroblock line outputs and mic / line inputs
Dante/AES67 network — primary and secondary ports

Comparison

Which Ami matrix should you choose?

Comparison and key differences.

Analog or Dante version?

Choose the analog version when the sources and amplifiers are grouped in the same equipment room. Wiring is direct, installation is straightforward and the matrix is enough to manage the whole system.

It is the simplest and most cost-effective choice when everything sits in one place.

Choose the D version when the installation is spread across the building. Audio streams travel over the Ethernet network, which avoids running long analog audio lines and makes it easier to add new sources or amplifiers.

Dante is not limited to distributed installations: within a single rack it also links compatible DSPs, consoles and amplifiers without analog conversion, reduces cabling and leaves room for the system to grow later.

The D version keeps the analog inputs and outputs while adding Dante channels, all freely routable to one another. An Ami08D therefore provides 8 analog inputs, 8 analog outputs, 8 Dante input channels and 8 Dante output channels. It also allows the AmiD2 and AmiD4 wall boxes to be connected, to add audio sources closer to the users.
