Combining exceptional sound quality with an intuitive workflow, Avantis Ultra is designed for audio professionals who require uncompromising performance for demanding live productions, installed sound systems, theaters, houses of worship, corporate events, and broadcast applications.
Expanded Processing Power
Built on Allen & Heath's renowned 96kHz XCVI FPGA processing architecture, Avantis Ultra delivers exceptional audio quality with ultra-low latency performance. The enhanced mixing engine supports up to 96 input channels and 56 configurable buses, providing ample capacity for large-scale productions and complex routing requirements.
This expanded architecture allows engineers to manage extensive stage inputs, monitor mixes, effects returns, playback sources, and distributed audio systems without compromising performance or workflow efficiency.
Dual Full HD Touchscreen Interface
Avantis Ultra features two 15.6-inch Full HD capacitive touchscreens that provide fast, intuitive access to channel processing, routing, effects, metering, and system setup. The advanced user interface combines touchscreen gestures with dedicated hardware controls, enabling rapid operation in fast-paced production environments.
The dual-screen design allows multiple views to remain open simultaneously, improving workflow efficiency and providing immediate access to critical mixing controls during live events.
Comprehensive Mixing Control
The console includes 24 motorized faders arranged across six layers, providing convenient access to a large number of channels and mix outputs. Twenty-four assignable SoftKeys enable engineers to customize frequently used functions such as scene recalls, mute groups, tap tempo controls, routing shortcuts, and system commands.
This combination of physical controls and touchscreen operation creates a highly efficient workflow that adapts to the needs of individual operators and productions.
DEEP Processing Technology
Avantis Ultra includes the complete DEEP Processing suite, bringing premium preamp, compressor, and expander emulations directly into the FPGA engine. By embedding processing within the channel architecture, users gain access to powerful sound-shaping tools without consuming valuable effects resources.
This enables engineers to apply studio-quality dynamics and tonal enhancement across the entire mix while maintaining maximum DSP efficiency.
Advanced Dyn8 and NEQ12 Processing
For applications requiring detailed control and precision audio management, Avantis Ultra includes 24 Dyn8 processors and NEQ12 equalization capabilities. Dyn8 provides advanced dynamic equalization and multiband compression functions, helping manage challenging frequencies, vocal intelligibility, and complex source material.
NEQ12 delivers highly accurate equalization control for detailed system tuning, mix refinement, and problem-solving in demanding acoustic environments.
Professional Effects Processing
Avantis Ultra delivers exceptional onboard effects capabilities through a combination of dedicated RackUltra FX and RackExtra FX engines. Eight RackUltra FX processors provide premium studio-grade effects designed for critical applications, while twelve RackExtra FX engines offer a broad selection of reverbs, delays, modulation effects, and creative processing tools.
Together, these extensive effects resources allow engineers to build sophisticated mixes without relying on external signal processors.
Flexible Local Connectivity
The console includes 12 local analog inputs and 12 local analog outputs, alongside stereo AES digital input and dual stereo AES outputs. This comprehensive connectivity enables seamless integration with professional audio equipment, playback devices, recording systems, and digital signal paths.
Scalable Audio Networking
Two integrated I/O expansion ports support up to 128×128 channels each, providing extensive networking and expansion capabilities. These ports allow integration with Dante, MADI, gigaACE, and other professional audio networking solutions, making Avantis Ultra suitable for both standalone deployment and large-scale networked audio systems.
The architecture provides the flexibility necessary for touring productions, fixed installations, broadcast facilities, and enterprise-wide audio environments.
Built for Professional Production Environments
Avantis Ultra has been engineered to meet the requirements of the most demanding audio professionals. Its expanded channel count, enhanced DSP resources, premium effects processing, and extensive connectivity make it equally at home in live music venues, performing arts centers, houses of worship, broadcast facilities, corporate events, and rental production companies.
Ideal Applications
The Allen & Heath Avantis Ultra is an ideal solution for touring sound reinforcement, festivals, theaters, houses of worship, broadcast production, corporate events, performing arts venues, educational institutions, and high-end installed audio systems requiring maximum flexibility, premium processing, and powerful audio networking capabilities.
