Detailed Description Avantis
Avantis is a digital mixing console in the Allen & Heath Avantis family, using a 96 kHz XCVI FPGA engine with 0.7 ms latency. The base configuration provides 64 input channels and 42 configurable mix buses. With dPack and firmware V2.0 or later, capacity increases to 96 inputs and 56 mixes.
The hardware combines 24 motorized faders across six layers with 2 15.6-inch Full HD touchscreens and Continuity UI. Local I/O includes 12 analog inputs and 12 analog outputs alongside AES3 connections. SLink and two optional 128 × 128 I/O ports support remote I/O and compatible audio-network formats.
Channel and mix processing, twelve RackExtra FX engines and automatic mic mixing are available in the core platform. Optional dPack adds DEEP models, NEQ12 and twenty-four Dyn8 engines with current firmware. RackUltra FX is a separate hardware upgrade requiring dPack. Stereo recording/playback and system expansion support live sound, worship, rental and installed applications.
