Avantis by Allen and Heath

From A Small Step To A Giant Leap.

Avantis is a 64 channel / 42 bus mixer platform featuring a 96kHz XCVI FPGA engine with class-leading 0.7ms latency plus add-on processing from the flagship dLive mixing system.

Series Highlights:

• 96kHz FPGA Processing
• 64 Input Channels
• 42 Bus
• Fully Configurable Mix Architecture
• dPack Upgrade for Additional dLive Processing
• 12 RackExtra FX slots with dedicated stereo returns
• Two 128×128 I/O Ports for Audio Networking

TWO MIXERS. ONE ENGINE.
Pick your size with no compromise. Avantis and Avantis Solo are both built on the same 64 input / 42 bus 96kHz mix engine with the only difference being the amount of physical control and I/O available on the mixer. Just pick the form factor that best suits your application or mixing style.

CONTINUITY UI
It's your mixer so mix your way. With 15.6″ Full HD touchscreens at the heart of the experience, Continuity UI allows you to see and instantly interact with more of what matters, enabling a seamless connection between the physical controls and the screen.

The faders react on touch to immediately highlight the active channels for instant visual feedback.

The channel rotaries let you work gains or pans, then at the touch of a button, dynamically fold the display to show EQ or compressor parameters across the whole bank.

Each screen also features a FastGrab tab on the right-hand side, giving you split-second access to key freely-assignable parameters like aux sends, EQ, compressor and FX on the currently selected or specific channel.

The whole system is set up to dynamically surface the information you need at any moment and put control right at your fingertips.

EVERYTHING I/O
A complete ecosystem of remote expanders. Whether you're an owner/operator looking to build a compact system, or a rental company with existing Allen + Heath stock, the SLink connection on Avantis allows true flexibility by connecting to the entire range of Allen + Heath audio expander hardware.

Add a Dante card to your system and you've got even more options, with the dedicated Dante expanders, DT168 and DT164-W.

UPGRADE TO dPACK
Get acclaimed dLive processing. Inside your Avantis. Right out of the box, Avantis is loaded with powerful processing tools that will easily meet the demands of most users and applications. Want more options? Upgrade your console with Avantis dPack to get additional dLive processing including Dyn8 (up to 16 instances), DEEP Compressors, and the Dual Stage Valve Preamp, plus more models as they're added.

A WORLD OF CONTROL
Avantis can be controlled using the Avantis Director software, MixPad app, Custom Control app or from a range of remote controllers and GPIO interfaces, with up to 48 IP remote controllers over a standard TCP/IP network. Applications include control of IEM mixes on stage, extra fader banks at FOH, and local control in breakout rooms.

RACKEXTRA FX
12 dedicated fx rack slots. And no compromises. Trust us, these are not your usual built-in effects.

Allen & Heath has a well-earned reputation for crafting FX emulations that rival the very best third party plug-ins, but with none of the associated hassle. With a passion bordering on obsession, they've created a suite of FX inspired by some of the most revered outboard equipment, including pristine reverbs, detailed delays, and wonderful classic modulation effects.

Best of all, it offers 12 FX slots with no compromises. Each effect takes up just one of the 12 slots, and each of the 12 FX slots has a dedicated stereo return - so you don't need to waste your input channels.

FULL METAL CHASSIS
Lightweight and super-strong. You've probably noticed that Avantis is not just another dull grey box mixer with plastic sides. Part-inspired by the tubular exo skeletons of the latest generation of superbikes, those sleek curves are all metal - super tough - but lightweight. Because every part of Avantis was designed in pursuit of performance and reliability, Allen & Heath subjected it to some of the most rigorous testing ever embarked upon. And it took it all.

DIRECTOR
Editor & Control. Offline and Online. Avantis Director is a free Windows and Mac OS application enabling offline editing and online control capabilities. Offline mode can be used for the creation and editing of show files and system configuration, as well as serving as a training tool for new users. Online mode delivers full remote-control of the mixer, freeing the engineer from the mix position to make changes from anywhere in the venue.

ONEMIX & MIXPAD APPS

MixPad
Avantis MixPad is an engineer's mixing tool providing wireless mobile control for Allen & Heath Avantis digital mixers. It gives you the freedom to walk the room or stage and control the sound right where it is needed. Avantis MixPad and the Avantis mixer can work together to provide simultaneous control of independent functions, for example one engineer using the mixer to mix front-of-house sound, and another using the iPad to mix monitors on stage. Several iPads can be connected, each providing independent control.

OneMix
OneMix is a cut down version of the Avantis MixPad app that locks control to a single Aux (monitor) mix. Multiple iPads may be set up by the 'Admin' user to give each musician customised personal monitor control via Wi-Fi connection to Avantis without the risk of affecting the other monitors or FOH main mix. Avantis OneMix can be configured to provide as much or as little control as needed.

WELL CONNECTED
Dante. Waves. And so much more. Two additional I/O Ports allow Avantis to benefit from the full range of current dLive option cards, including Dante (64x64 and 128x128), Waves, gigaACE, MADI and more, expanding the scope for system integration, FoH / monitor splits and multitrack recording.
