Allen & Heath Avantis

Allen & Heath Avantis is a digital mixing console built on a powerful 96kHz XCVI FPGA core, providing exceptionally low latency of 0.7 ms, phase-coherent bus architecture, and stable performance even in the most demanding live applications. The mixer offers 64 input channels, 42 flexibly configurable mix buses, and a pair of 15.6" Full HD capacitive touchscreens with the intuitive Continuity UI interface, seamlessly integrating physical controls and displays for maximum workflow speed.

Its robust all-metal chassis ensures longevity, appreciated by touring companies and installation setups. Avantis is part of the Everything I/O ecosystem, utilizing an SLink port for external I/O expanders and ME personal monitoring. With two 128×128 I/O ports, it can integrate expansion cards like Dante, MADI, or gigaACE.

The optional dPack add-on brings premium processing from the flagship dLive range – including up to 16 instances of Dyn8 (dynamic EQ + multiband compressor), DEEP compressors with zero latency, and a tube Dual-Stage Valve Preamp. It also includes 12 RackExtra FX effect slots with emulations of top-tier hardware units without the need for external plugins.

Avantis is designed as a full-fledged professional mixer for concerts, theaters, cultural centers, rental companies, and permanent installations – wherever emphasis is placed on speed of operation, DSP performance, and flexible configuration.
