Description

The Allen & Heath Avantis mixer is their third based on the 96kHz XCVI FPGA engine. Avantis contains all the next-generation technology you'd expect in a 64 channel / 42 configurable bus console, including dual Full HD touchscreens, a super-flexible workflow with Continuity UI and extensive I/O options, plus processing from the dLive mixing system and a rugged full metal chassis. The power of Avantis emanates from the XCVI Core, with parallel virtual processing cores generating enough power for 88×42 (including FX returns) channels of processing at 96kHz sampling rate. The massive power of XCVI (25 billion operations per second) allows Avantis to deliver 64 full processing inputs and 12 stereo FX returns, 42 bus with configurable mix architecture, variable bit depth for ultimate precision and noise performance, a virtually infinite mix headroom thanks to a 96bit accumulator and class-leading latency at an ultra-low 0.7ms.
