Allen & Heath – Avantis

Allen & Heath

Avantis is a 96kHz digital mixer with 64 channels, DEEP FX, 0.7ms latency, dual touchscreens, and the powerful XCVI core for pro-grade performance.

SKU: ALLAVANTIS/240X Categories: , ,

Description

The power of Avantis emanates from the XCVI Core – pioneered by the Allen & Heath R&D team using next generation FPGA technology, 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.
