Allen & Heath AH-AVANTIS-W-DPACK 96kHz FPGA processing, 64 Input Channels, 24 Faders / 6 Layers, 42 Mix busses, Dual 15.6” Full HD capacitive touchscreen Digital Mixer, dPack included

The third console in the Allen & Heath 96Khz series is the 64-channel 42 bus Avantis digital mixer. The Avantis-W-DPACK is an out-of-the-box gig-ready board that combines the Avantis console with A&H's robust dPACK dLive and DYN8 processing software. With 24 motorized channel faders that react on touch to highlight the active display channels for intuitive visual feedback and elegant dual 15" full HD touch screens that provide a window into your console, the Avantis offers an immersive mixing experience. With the touch of a button, the display can switch from rotary controlled pan and gain to EQ and compressor settings across an entire channel bank. There's also a fast grab feature so you can access EQ, compressor, and FX sets quickly. Avantis comes standard with 12 XLR analog inputs and outputs, 1 AES digital stereo input, and 2 AES outputs to get you up and running right away. But you're not limited to what's standard. You also get two I/O port slots that can be filled with separately available dLive digital option cards.

What makes the Avantis-W-DPACK shine is that it comes with dPACK DEEP and DYN8 pre-installed. DEEP is a collection of virtual compressors, limiters, and graphic EQ emulations with a dual-stage valve preamp tossed in for good measure. With DYN8 you get 8 bands of frequency-specific dynamic processing as a 4-band dynamic EQ and a 4-band multiband compressor. In general, the dynamic EQ is most useful for individual tracks while the multi-band compressor works best on a stereo mix or groups of tracks. Either way, the power of the processing lies in the fact that it's already built into the Avantis. That means there are no latency or phase problems, and no extra gear to purchase. With that much processing power, 64 channels, and more bus possibilities than any analog console, the Avantis-W-Dpack is the one-box solution to your mixing needs.
