Heath AH‑IP‑4W (IP4 Four‑Button Programmable Wallplate Controller, White)

The AH‑IP‑4W is a wall‑mounted networked audio controller designed to provide simple and intuitive control for installed sound systems. It features four programmable, illuminated buttons that can be configured to perform key audio functions like mute toggling, preset recall, source selection, and volume or level adjustment. The unit connects over standard TCP/IP Ethernet and is powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE), removing the need for a separate power supply. It is compatible with multiple Allen & Heath systems — including AHM, Avantis, and dLive mixers — and is ideal for commercial environments where easy local control of audio zones is required. The controller fits standard US Decora wallplates and is available in white (as designated by the “W” in the model name).
