Avantis
64 Channel / 42 Bus Digital Mixers

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

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.

Integrated Tools
Do More. Faster.

From our next-generation 61-band RTA, with 5m, 15m and 60m history views, through to Shure and Sennheiser RF integration, Avantis is designed to let engineers spend more time mixing and less time worrying about the technology.

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.

dPack Includes

DEEP Processing

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.

Dyn8

Dyn8 features 4 bands of dynamic EQ and 4 bands of multiband compression for applications including taming vocals, tightening sub-groups or adding sonic glue to a mix. dPack enables 16 Dyn8 engines for inserting on Input and Mix channels.

Everything I/O

I/O Expansion for all Applications

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 our dedicated Dante expanders, DT168 and DT164-W.

Well Connected

Dante. Waves. And so much more.

For local I/O, Avantis is well equipped with XLR analogue inputs, XLR analogue outputs, plus AES (Stereo In, Stereo Out).

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

Controllers

A World of Control

Avantis can be controlled using the Avantis Director software, MixPad app, Custom Control app or from our 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.

Avantis Director

Editor & Control. Offline and Online.

Avantis Director is a free Windows and Mac OS application enabling offline editing and online control capabilities.

Avantis MixPad

Remote Mixing

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.

Avantis OneMix

Personal Monitoring

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.

IP Controllers

Modular Control Options

Avantis is compatible with our range of networkable, PoE compatible remote controllers which can be programmed via the Avantis mixer or Director software, and configured to control any aspect of the system.

Custom Control

Customisable Software Control

Custom Control is a customisable, cross-platform control app, providing elegant, bespoke control over Avantis, dLive and AHM audio systems.
