MAX-HT Digital Media Servers
Now Shipping!

The MAX-HT04 and MAX-HT12 are the world's first multimedia servers engineered specifically for placement in acoustically demanding environments like home theaters but they're also quite versatile in other rooms of the house and commercial applications.

These servers offer all of the features and capabilities the market has come to expect from MAX MMS, including custom playlists, quick searching, on-demand video, and multi-zone support.

Room-Sized Vault? Nope, Just a Shelf
With aesthetic styling and whisper quiet operation, MAX-HT Digital Media Servers are specifically designed to be placed and operated alongside other home theater components. While MAX-HT servers can easily store the digital equivalent of hundreds of DVDs and thousands of CDs, they take up no more space than a 200-Disc DVD changer.

As your collection grows, MAX drives are hot swappable so you can easily add additional drives or stack multiple MAX servers. Your MAX system is ready to grow with you.

Amadeus to Zorro – Locate and Play Titles Instantly
The most interactive and direct way to browse and select DVDs and CDs using MAX-HT servers is through AMX Touch Panels. With just a touch, a customized user interface allows users to find movies and music quick and easy.

Browse selections by scrolling through DVD and CD cover art, or by genre, title, artist, playlist or several other search criteria. An onscreen keypad also speeds searches by allowing the user the ability to spell out the title or by just entering a keyword.

25 Simultaneous Zones Without Breaking a Sweat
By combining a MAX-HT server and an AMX Managed Ethernet Switch, MAX can deliver movies and music to up to 25 different rooms or zones throughout the home simultaneously with no loss in signal quality or hesitation in playback.

Simply add a MAX Audio Video Player (AVP) to each area or zone and the entire library is immediately accessible from a TV, video display or audio receiver.
