Allen & Heath Avantis 64 Channel Digital Mixing Console

The power of Avantis emanates from the XCVI Core – pioneered by the Allen & Heath R&D team using next generation FPGA technology, with parallel virtual processing cores generating enough power for 88×42 (including FX returns) channels of processing at 96kHz sampling rate. XCVI The massive power of XCVI (25 billion operations per second) allows Avantis to deliver 64 full processing inputs and 12 stereo FX returns, 42 bus with configurable mix architecture, variable bit depth for ultimate precision and noise performance, a virtually infinite mix headroom thanks to a 96bit accumulator, and class-leading latency at an ultra-low 0.7ms. Continuity UI With a massive 206 square inches of screen space operating at a crisp 1080p Full HD resolution, Continuity UI allows you to see and instantly interact with more of what matters, enabling a seamless connection between the physical controls and the displays. 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. • 96kHz 64 channel / 42 bus digital mixer • XCVI FPGA core with ultra-low latency (0.7ms) • Fully configurable mix bus architecture • Super-tough, full metal chassis • Continuity UI seamlessly connects physical and touchscreen controls for the fastest, most intuitive workflows • dPack option adds dLive processing, including 16 Dyn8 engines, plus per-channel zero-latency DEEP Compressors and Dual-Stage Valve preamp • 12 RackExtra FX slots with dedicated stereo returns • 16 DCAs • Dual 15.6” Full HD capacitive touchscreens with gesture control • AMM (Automatic Mic Mixer) up to 64 channels across 1, 2 or 4 zones • Fully assignable layout • 144 fader strips (24 faders, 6 layers) with optional dedicated master section • SLink port for connection to Remote I/O Expanders and the ME Personal Mixing System • 12 analogue XLR Inputs / 12 analogue XLR Outputs • 1 Stereo AES In / 2 Stereo AES Out • 2 I/O Ports, both capable of 128×128 operation at 96kHz – for optional cards inc.
