Continuity UI

• With a 15.6″ Full HD touchscreen at the heart of the experience, Continuity UI allows you 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 you work gains or pans at the touch of a button, dynamically foldiing the display to show EQ or compressor parameters across the whole bank.
• Each screen features a FastGrab tab on the right-hand side, 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 display the information you need at any moment and put controls right at your fingertips.

Integrated Tools
From A&H's next-generation 61-band RTA, with 5, 15, and 60m history views, and Shure and Sennheiser RF integration, Avantis Solo is designed to let engineers spend more time mixing and less time worrying about the technology.

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 with Avantis dPack to get additional dLive processing including Dyn8 (up to 16 instances), DEEP Compressors, and the Dual Stage Valve Preamp, plus more models as they're added.

I/O Expansion for All Applications

• Whether you’re an owner/operator looking to build a compact system, or a rental company with existing Allen & Heath stock, the SLink connection on Avantis Solo allows true flexibility by connecting to the entire range of Allen & Heath audio expander hardware.
• Add a Dante card to your system, and you’ve got even more options with A&H's dedicated Dante expanders, DT168 and DT164-W.

Well Connected with Dante, Waves, and More

• For local I/O, Avantis Solo is well equipped with XLR analog inputs and outputs, plus AES (stereo in, stereo out).
• Two additional I/O Ports allow Avantis Solo to benefit from the full range of current dLive option cards, including Dante (64×64 and 128×128), Waves, gigaACE, MADI, and more, expanding the scope for system integration, FoH / monitor splits, and multitrack recording.

Controllers

• Avantis Director—Avantis Director is a free Windows and Mac OS application enabling offline editing and online control capabilities.
• Avantis MixPad—Avantis MixPad is an engineer’s mixing tool, providing wireless mobile control for Allen & Heath Avantis digital mixers. It gives you the freedom to walk the room or stage and control the sound right where it is needed. Avantis MixPad and the Avantis mixer can work together to provide simultaneous control of independent functions, for example one engineer using the mixer to mix front-of-house sound, and another using the iPad to mix monitors onstage. Several iPads can be connected, each providing independent control.
• Avantis OneMix—OneMix is a cut-down version of the Avantis MixPad app that locks control to a single Aux (monitor) mix. Multiple iPads may be set up by the Admin user to give each musician customized personal monitor control via Wi-Fi connection to Avantis without the risk of affecting the other monitors or the FOH main mix. Avantis OneMix can be configured to provide as much or as little control as needed.
• IP Controllers—Avantis is compatible with our range of networkable, PoE compatible remote controllers, which can be programmed via the Avantis mixer or Director software, and configured to control any aspect of the system.
• Custom Control—Customizable cross-platform control app providing elegant, bespoke control over Avantis, dLive and AHM audio systems.
