Allen & Heath Avantis Solo 64-Channel / 42-Bus Digital Mixer with dPack Software Upgrade

The Allen & Heath Avantis Solo with dPack Upgrade, an advanced 64-channel, 42-bus configurable digital mixer. Featuring a 15.6" capacitive touchscreen, Continuity UI, and powerful 96 kHz FPGA processing, this console offers extensive I/O and control options. The dPack signal processing upgrade enhances the mixer by incorporating flagship dLive features, including advanced dynamics and DEEP compressors. The XCVI FPGA Core provides a 96 kHz sample rate with ultra-low latency (0.7 ms), ensuring pristine audio quality and performance. With a flexible workflow, the mixer offers a configurable 64-channel input and 42-bus architecture to meet diverse audio needs. The DEEP Processing Ready feature includes Dyn8 instances, DEEP compressors, and valve preamps for enhanced sound shaping. Constructed with a high-quality build, the durable yet lightweight metal chassis ensures reliability in demanding environments. The mixer features Continuity UI, a seamless integration between the 15.6" Full HD (1080p) touchscreen and physical controls. This interface provides gesture control and dynamic displays for intuitive operation, with FastGrab Tabs offering quick access to essential functions like aux sends, EQ, compressors, and FX parameters. Additionally, touch-sensitive faders instantly highlight active channels, providing visual feedback. Offering extensive I/O and connectivity, the mixer includes six XLR balanced mic/line inputs, six XLR balanced line outputs, and stereo AES inputs and outputs. Two USB-A ports allow for recording, playback, and file storage, while the expansion capabilities include two I/O ports for Dante, MADI, Waves, gigaACE, and fibreACE cards, along with a SLink port for remote audio and hardware expansion. EtherCON I/O supports various protocols, including gigaACE, DX, GX, ME, and dSnake. Integrated tools like a signal generator, RTA, spectrogram, and Automatic Mic Mixer (AMM) for up to 64 channels simplify live sound management. The mixer also provides comprehensive metering, multipoint peak detection, and advanced EQ options, including dynamic and graphic EQ. The dPack software processing upgrade adds premium features such as Dyn8 dynamic EQ and multiband compression, DEEP compressors like PeakLimiter 76 and 16T, and dual-stage valve preamps for warmth and character. Multiple controllers and apps enhance usability, including the Avantis Director application for offline editing and online control, Avantis MixPad for wireless mobile mixing, Avantis OneMix for individual monitor mixing, and the Custom Control app for bespoke system control. Additionally, PoE-compatible IP Controllers provide physical control options. With its cutting-edge features and robust construction, the Allen & Heath Avantis Solo with dPack is a powerful, flexible solution for professional audio mixing, making it ideal for live sound, recording, and installation scenarios.
