Allen & Heath dPACK Avantis Console Upgraded Mixer:

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 - 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.

dPACK - DYN8

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.

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, we’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, we offer our 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, we subjected it to some of the most rigorous testing we’ve ever embarked upon. And it took it all.

WELL CONNECTED

Dante. Waves. And so much more.
For local I/O, Avantis is well equipped with 12 XLR analogue inputs, 12 XLR analogue outputs, plus AES (Stereo In, 2x Stereo Out). 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.

DANTE 128x128

With 128 channels of bidirectional audio at 96kHz, the Dante 128x128 card is suitable for high channel digital splits between systems, for instance FOH and MON, whilst offering simultaneous multitrack recording via Dante Virtual Soundcard (available separately).

DANTE 64x64

The Dante 64x64 audio networking card offers low latency connectivity to Dante networks and devices using standard networking cabling and hardware and is a cost-effective alternative to Dante 128x128 in applications that don’t require the additional I/O.

Waves V3

An interface to the Waves SoundGrid networking platform, for plugin processing, multitrack recording and audio distribution.

gigaACE

A cost-effective and plug ‘n play solution for digital splits and point-to-point connections.

superMADI

A flexible toolkit of broadcast connectivity. Multiformat to address requirements of broadcast/recording feeds + OB Vans.

fibreACE

A fibre optic solution for large scale events and long cable runs up to 500m.
