12 Analog and 1 stereo AES Inputs
12 Analog and 2 stereo AES Outputs
Continuity UI : It’s your mixer, so mix your way.
With 15.6″ Full HD touchscreens at the heart of the experience, Continuity UI allows you to see and instantly interact with more of what matters, enabling a seamless connection between the physical controls and the screen.
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.
Integrated Tools : Do More. Faster.
From our next-generation 61-band RTA, with 5m, 15m and 60m history views, through to Shure and Sennheiser RF integration, Avantis is designed to let engineers spend more time mixing and less time worrying about the technology.
Everything I/O : I/O Expansion for all Applications
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.
Well Connected : Dante. Waves. And so much more.
For local I/O, Avantis is well equipped with XLR analogue inputs, XLR analogue outputs, plus AES (Stereo In, Stereo Out).
Two additional I/O Ports allow Avantis to benefit from the full range of current dLive option cards, including Dante (64×64 and 128×128), Waves, gigaACE, MADI and more, expanding the scope for system integration, FoH / monitor splits and multitrack recording.
Controllers : A World of Control
Avantis can be controlled using the Avantis Director software, MixPad app, Custom Control app or from our range of remote controllers and GPIO interfaces, with up to 48 IP remote controllers over a standard TCP/IP network.
Applications include control of IEM mixes on stage, extra fader banks at FOH, and local control in breakout rooms.
Avantis Director : Editor & Control. Offline and Online.
Avantis Director is a free Windows and Mac OS application enabling offline editing and online control capabilities.
Avantis MixPad : Remote Mixing
Avantis MixPad is an engineer’s mixing tool providing wireless mobile control for Allen & Heath Avantis digital mixers. It gives you the freedom to walk the room or stage and control the sound right where it is needed. Avantis MixPad and the Avantis mixer can work together to provide simultaneous control of independent functions, for example one engineer using the mixer to mix front-of-house sound, and another using the iPad to mix monitors on stage. Several iPads can be connected, each providing independent control.
Avantis OneMix : Personal Monitoring
OneMix is a cut down version of the Avantis MixPad app that locks control to a single Aux (monitor) mix. Multiple iPads may be set up by the ‘Admin’ user to give each musician customised personal monitor control via Wi-Fi connection to Avantis without the risk of affecting the other monitors or FOH main mix. Avantis OneMix can be configured to provide as much or as little control as needed.
