• XCVI 96kHz FPGA core with ultra-low latency (0.7ms)
• 96 input channels
• 56 configurable busses
• 12 RackExtra FX slots with dedicated stereo returns
• 8 RackUltra FX
• 24 Dyn8
• DEEP preamp, compressor and expander models
• NEQ12
• 144 fader strips (24 faders, 6 layers)
• Two 15.6-inch Full HD touchscreens
• 24 assignable SoftKeys
• 2 I/O Ports (128128)

Avantis Ultra delivers an expanded digital mixing platform built for demanding live sound applications, combining flexible mixing architecture, extensive I/O, and integrated processing in a stand-alone console.

With two 15.6-inch Full HD capacitive touchscreens at the heart of the experience, Continuity UI allows engineers to see and instantly interact with more of what matters, enabling a seamless connection between the physical controls and the screen.

For local I/O, Avantis Ultra is equipped with XLR analogue inputs, XLR analogue outputs, plus AES connectivity. Two additional I/O Ports allow Avantis Ultra to benefit from the full range of current dLive option cards, including Dante, Waves, gigaACE, MADI and more, expanding the scope for system integration, FoH / monitor splits and multitrack recording.

Avantis Ultra can be controlled using the Avantis Director software, MixPad app, Custom Control app or from Allen and Heath’s range of remote controllers and GPIO interfaces, with up to 48 IP remote controllers over a standard TCP/IP network.

Integrated Tools

From their next-generation 61-band RTA, with 5m, 15m and 60m history views, through to Shure and Sennheiser RF integration, Avantis Ultra is designed to let engineers spend more time mixing and less time worrying about the technology.

Continuity UI

With 15.6-inch Full HD touchscreens at the heart of the experience, Continuity UI allows users 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 engineers 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 Soft Rotary tab on the right-hand side, giving 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 needed at any moment and put control right at the fingertips.

Everything I/O

Whether an owner/operator is looking to build a compact system, or a rental company has existing Allen and Heath stock, the SLink connection on Avantis Ultra allows flexibility by connecting to the entire range of Allen and Heath audio expander hardware.

Add a Dante card to the system and there are even more options, with dedicated Dante expanders, DT168 and DT164-W.

Well Connected

For local I/O, Avantis Ultra is well equipped with XLR analogue inputs, XLR analogue outputs, plus AES connectivity.

Two additional I/O Ports allow Avantis Ultra to benefit from the full range of current dLive option cards, including Dante (6464 and 128128), Waves, gigaACE, MADI and more, expanding the scope for system integration, FoH / monitor splits and multitrack recording.

Controllers

Avantis Ultra can be controlled using the Avantis Director software, MixPad app, Custom Control app or from Allen and Heath’s 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.
