Introduction
Avantis is a 64 channel 96kHz digital mixing console providing a powerful solution for any live sound
application. Pristine audio quality is delivered at ultra-low latency, and comprehensive signal routing and
processing options are easily accessible via the dual 15.6” Full HD touchscreens.
Avantis
is DEEP Processing ready, enabling the use of our world-class hardware emulations with no added
latency or need for additional hardware. Visit allen-heath.com/avantis for more information.
The integrated SLink port offers Plug’n’Play operation with the GX, DX, AB and AR ranges of remote I/O
expanders plus the DX Hub remote hub. Additionally, SLink can be used for digital split applications with a
second Avantis mixer or a dLive/SQ system.
Compatibility with the ME Personal Monitoring System allows performers to take control of their own
monitor mixes via the ME-1 and ME-500 personal mixers.
Digital audio networking cards are available to enable integration with other digital audio systems via
protocols such as gigaACE, Dante, MADI and Waves SoundGrid.
