Allen & Heath Avantis Solo 64 Channel and 42 Bus Digital Mixer

The Allen & Heath Avantis Solo is a 64 Channel and 42 Bus Digital Mixer. Avantis Solo distils all the power of Avantis into a potent single screen package. Powered by Allen & Heath’s award winning XCVI FPGA, Avantis Solo boasts 64 channels of input processing with 42 configurable busses; an intelligent SLink port connecting Avantis Solo with the Everything I/O range of remote expanders; studio-grade hardware emulations from Allen & Heath’s flagship dLive system via the optional dPack upgrade; and a super strong yet lightweight full metal chassis.

96kHz XCVI Core

Avantis is the third console range to be powered by the 96kHz XCVI core pioneered by Allen & Heath using next generation FPGA technology, with parallel virtual processing cores delivering 64 full processing inputs and a configurable 42 bus architecture with phase coherency on all mix outputs. XCVI employs variable bit depth for ultimate precision and noise performance, a 96bit mix bus, and offers ultra-low latency at just 0.7ms. XCVI also enables DEEP processing, embedding class-leading processing emulations directly within the input and mix channels.

Easy Expansion with Everything I/O

Avantis Solo is as flexible as it is small, onboard sLink allows for connection to our wide range of audio expanders, whilst two large format I/O card slots support MADI, Dante and Waves cards for a whole host of recording and integration options. For more control you can add our IP remote controllers, connect with MixPad, or Custom Controller, or put the artist in the driving seat with our ME Personal Mixer range.

Continuity UI - Touch the Big Picture

Continuity UI allows you to see and instantly interact with more of what matters, enabling a seamless connection between the physical controls and the crisp 1080p Full-HD display. 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. Avantis Solo features a FastGrab tab on the right-hand side of the screen, 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.

Get dLive Processing with Dpack

Right out of the box, Avantis Solo is loaded with powerful processing tools that will easily meet the demands of most users and applications. Want more options? Upgrade your console to Avantis dPack, and you’ll get additional processing from Allen & Heath’s flagship dLive system, including Dyn8 (up to 16 instances), DEEP Compressors, and the Dual-Stage Valve preamp. Best of all, all future dPack updates will be automatically included, forever and free of charge.

Full Metal Chassis

Avantis Solo may be small, but definitely mighty. Encased in a super-strong, full metal tubular exo-skeleton, Avantis Solo effortlessly blends the practicality of a strong and sturdy outershell, with eye catching design.

Dante, Waves and More...

Two additional I/O Ports allow Avantis Solo 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, digital splits, recording and connectivity the Allen & Heath DT range of Dante enabled expanders. For local I/O, Avantis is well equipped with 6 XLR analogue inputs, 6 XLR analogue outputs, plus AES (1x Stereo In, 1x Stereo Out).

12 RackExtra FX Engines

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. Avantis is armed with 12 stereo FX engines and features the acclaimed RackExtra library of emulations of legendary classic reverbs, gated reverbs, delays, modulators and more. All FX have dedicated stereo returns so you don’t need to waste input channels.
