Allen & Heath AVANTIS is a powerful digital mixing console, that nicely hits the sweet spot.

Let’s do a quick tick of the boxes: 96 kHz (just like dLive), 64 channels with 42 bus.

So, borrowing from the larger dLive series, AVANTIS also shares a bit of ideology from the smaller SQ series – in that there is no ‘external brain’ required. Just pick up an AVANTIS, and you’re ready for action.

Of course, A&H have thought of everything when it comes to ‘remote expanders’. With their ‘EVERYTHING I/O’ philosophy, you can use AR2412 (made originally for the GLD series), or the up-spec’d dLive boxes, including their very popular DX168. If you want to keep it going in the ‘just right’ vibe, try the perfectly positioned GX4816.

Avantis dPack is additional dLIVE processing, added to your Avantis for a magical mixing match.

Right out of the box, Avantis is loaded with powerful processing tools that will easily meet the demands of most users and applications.

You can get more though… Upgrade your console with this 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.

DEEP

Trusted by platinum selling artists on sellout tours, DEEP puts incredible emulations directly within Avantis’ input and mix channels with zero latency. No burning FX slots, no 3rd party gear hassles and no issues with latency or phase coherency.

Dyn 8

Avantis dPack also delivers Dyn8, a powerful and sophisticated processor boasting 4 bands of dynamic EQ and 4 bands of multiband compression. With endless applications including taming vocals, tightening sub-groups or adding sonic glue to a mix, Dyn8 changes the way we think about dynamic processing. dPack enables 16 Dyn8 engines for inserting on Input and Mix channels.
