Allen & Heath IP4 Controller – intuitive and flexible remote control for Allen & Heath dLive, AHM

Allen & Heath IP4 Controller

The Allen & Heath IP4 Controller is a professional PoE network audio wall controller designed to provide intuitive and flexible remote control for Allen & Heath dLive, AHM, and other compatible Allen & Heath networked audio systems. Featuring four programmable rotary encoders with integrated push-button functionality, the IP4 offers an advanced user interface for controlling multiple audio parameters from a single wall-mounted device, making it an ideal solution for commercial AV installations, conference rooms, hospitality venues, educational institutions, houses of worship, theatres, retail environments, museums, sports facilities, and corporate offices.

Built with system integrators and installers in mind, the Allen & Heath IP4 Controller combines elegant aesthetics with powerful network-based control capabilities. Its modern, low-profile design fits seamlessly into contemporary interiors while delivering professional-grade reliability and ease of operation.

Unlike conventional analog wall controllers, the Allen & Heath IP4 Controller communicates entirely over an Ethernet network using Power over Ethernet (PoE). This allows both power and data to be delivered through a single Cat5e/Cat6 network cable, eliminating the need for local power supplies and significantly simplifying installation. The result is a cleaner, more efficient installation that reduces wiring complexity and long-term maintenance costs.

Each of the four rotary encoders can be independently programmed to perform a wide variety of functions depending on the application. System designers can assign controls for zone volume, source selection, mute, scene recall, level adjustment, parameter control, or other customizable commands supported by compatible Allen & Heath platforms. This flexibility makes the Allen & Heath IP4 Controller suitable for single-room installations as well as large multi-zone commercial audio systems.

The Allen & Heath IP4 Controller is engineered to simplify everyday operation without compromising the security of the overall audio system. Instead of allowing users access to the main digital mixer or DSP processor, installers can provide only the controls required for daily operation. This protects critical system settings while delivering an intuitive user experience.

The four independent rotary encoders enable multiple audio functions to be accessed simultaneously. For example, a conference room can dedicate controls for microphone volume, presentation audio, program music, and overall master volume. In a hotel ballroom, the encoders can manage multiple zones independently, while in educational facilities they can control classroom audio sources and levels.

The Allen & Heath IP4 Controller integrates seamlessly into Allen & Heath’s network ecosystem, allowing centralized management while offering localized user control. Multiple IP4 Controllers can be installed throughout a building to provide convenient operation in different rooms or zones.

The Allen & Heath IP4 Controller offers an outstanding combination of flexibility, reliability, and installation simplicity.

Four premium rotary encoders with push-button functionality provide accurate and responsive control. The high-quality controls deliver smooth operation and excellent tactile feedback, ensuring effortless day-to-day use.

Power over Ethernet technology eliminates separate power adapters and reduces installation time. A single Ethernet cable supplies both power and network communication.

Its wall-mounted design fits standard UK and EU electrical wall boxes, allowing clean and professional installation in commercial environments.

Software-based programming enables complete customization of every encoder according to project requirements. Installers can easily adapt the controller for hospitality, education, retail, corporate, entertainment, or public venue applications.

The robust commercial-grade construction ensures dependable long-term operation even in demanding environments with frequent daily use.

The Allen & Heath IP4 Controller is ideal for: Corporate boardrooms, Conference centers, Hotels and resorts, Restaurants and cafés, Retail stores, Educational institutions, Universities, Houses of worship, Museums, Auditoriums, Performing arts venues, Sports facilities, Government buildings, Healthcare facilities, Multi-zone commercial audio systems
