Allen & Heath Avantis 64-channel Digital Mixer

Allen & Heath Avantis – 64-Channel/42-Bus Digital Mixer

The Allen & Heath Avantis digital mixer combines the tactile feel of analog mixing with the flexibility and power of modern digital processing. Using the same dLive technology found in Allen & Heath’s flagship consoles, the Avantis offers 64 channels and 42 buses in a compact form, making it ideal for live sound applications ranging from small venues to large-scale productions.

Intuitive, Customizable Workflow
With 24 manual channel strips and six switchable banks, Avantis allows quick access to essential controls. Its Continuity UI combines physical controls and digital touchscreens to create an intuitive workflow. Users can customize the layout, assign SoftKeys, and configure rotary controls to match their preferred mixing style, allowing complete control over mix bus architecture and signal routing.

Dual 15.6-Inch Touchscreens
Avantis features two high-definition touchscreens that support gesture controls such as pinch, swipe, and drag-and-drop. Configurable widget areas allow easy access to meters, scenes, and RackExtra FX, including effects like Reverb, Chorus, and Delay. The touchscreens ensure a fast, responsive, and personalized mixing experience.

Expandable and Network-Ready
The Avantis supports 12 XLR mic/line inputs, network I/O, and SLink connections, handling up to 64 channels with 144 fader strips. Two expansion card ports provide 128 x 128 I/O at 96kHz for Dante, MADI, Waves, or gigaACE cards. SLink ports enable seamless integration with I/O expanders, stage boxes, and networked devices, while the onboard word clock ensures synchronized operation with other digital gear.

Durable, Professional Design
Built in a full-metal chassis, the Avantis is designed to withstand the demands of live production. Its compact footprint houses powerful processing, intuitive controls, and flexible routing, making it a reliable choice for professional engineers.
