- 96kHz / 64 channel / 42 bus digital mixer
IT’s a small step
to a giant leap
The third mixer based on our 96kHz XCVI FPGA engine, Avantis puts all our next-generation
technology in a standalone 64 channel / 42 configurable bus console, with dual Full HD touchscreens,
a super-flexible workflow with Continuity UI, extensive I/O options, add-on processing from our
flagship dLive mixing system, and a rugged full metal chassis.
Step up to Avantis. Leap ahead of the curve.
- fully configurable mix BUS architecture
- XCVI CORE - 0.7ms latency / PHase coherent
- Dual Full HD touchscreens with Continuity UI
- EVERYTHING I/O - Huge range of remote expanders
- dpack UPGRADE ADDS ACCLAIMED dlive processing

TOUCH THE BIG PICTURE
Continuity UI. It’s your mixer, so mix your way.
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.
everything i/o
A complete ecosystem of remote expanders.
Whether you’re an owner/operator looking to build a compact system, or a rental company
with existing Allen & Heath stock, the SLink connection on Avantis allows true flexibility by
connecting to the entire range of Allen & Heath audio expander hardware.
Add a Dante card to your system and you’ve got even more options, with our dedicated Dante
expanders, DT168 and DT164-W.

UPGRADE TO dPACK
Get the acclaimed processing of dLive. Inside your avantis.
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.
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.
DEEP
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.
FULL METAL
CHASSIS
Super-strong and built to last.
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.
rackextra fx
12 dedicated fx rack slots. With 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.
For local I/O, Avantis is well equipped with 12 XLR analogue inputs, 12 XLR analogue outputs,
plus AES (Stereo In, 2x Stereo Out).
WELL CONNECTED
Dante. Waves. And so much more.
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.
