Presentation
The user interface is intuitive with its 15.6-inch Full HD touchscreen that allows for seamless interaction between physical controls and the display, providing quick and visual access to parameters.
One of the key innovations of the Avantis Solo is its "Continuity UI", which allows the faders to react to touch to instantly highlight active channels, providing immediate visual feedback and intuitive manipulation of gains, pans, EQ or compression.
The system is equipped with many features such as a next-generation 61-band RTA (real time analyzer), RF integration with Shure and Sennheiser wireless microphones, and powerful audio processing options.
The Allen & Heath Avantis Solo is compatible with a variety of expansion card options including Dante, Waves, gigaACE and MADI, providing increased flexibility for system integration, FoH/monitor splits, and multitrack recording.
Additional I/O ports expand local capabilities with XLR analogue inputs and outputs, as well as digital AES connections, meeting the needs of complex installations.
Sound reinforcement professionals can configure and customise the Avantis Solo using the Avantis Director software, MixPad app and Custom Control app, or via a range of remote controllers and GPIO interfaces.
These tools enable precise parameter management and extensive control of on-stage IEM mixes, from additional fader banks to FoH.
When you add the dLive Pack to your Avantis Solo console, you get Dyn8, a sophisticated processor with 4 bands of dynamic EQ and 4 bands of multiband compression, for mastering vocals, tightening subgroups, or adding sonic cohesion to the mix.
This pack allows for the insertion of 16 Dyn8 engines across the input and mix channels, dramatically expanding the way professionals approach dynamics processing.
In addition to Dyn8, the dLive Pack features DEEP Compressors and the Dual Stage Valve preamp, bringing classic emulations directly into the Avantis Solo input and mix channels with zero latency, without taking up effects slots or requiring third-party equipment.
dPack-exclusive RackExtra effects, such as Transient Controller and HypaBass, rival the best third-party plug-ins while eliminating latency or phase issues.
