Allen & Heath Avantis Solo 64-channel mixer
Delivery 2-3 Working days

Ideal for
- FOH engineers at small to medium-sized festivals, clubs and theaters
- Monitor engineers on tour with limited space on stage
- Owner-operators investing in a compact yet full-featured system
- Rental companies with existing Allen & Heath I/O hardware in stock
Pro Tip: Use the two I/O slots not just for expansion, but as a full digital split: one slot for your FOH mix, the other as a direct feed to a monitor console or multitrack recorder. That saves you an analog splitter box and keeps the entire signal chain at 96kHz.

FAQ
What's the difference between the Avantis Solo and the original Avantis?
The Solo has one 15.6 inch touchscreen instead of two, 12 faders instead of 24, and smaller local I/O (6 inputs and 6 outputs). The mix engine, channel count (64 channels, 42 buses) and all processing options are identical. Existing show files load straight across between both models.
Can I keep using my existing Allen & Heath stage box?
Yes. Via the SLink EtherCON port, the Solo works with Allen & Heath's entire Everything I/O range, including GX, DX, AB and AR expanders, the ME personal monitoring systems, and dLive stage boxes for digital split applications.
What does the dPack upgrade add, and do I need it?
The Avantis Solo already comes fully equipped for demanding professional productions as standard. The dPack adds dLive processing: Dyn8 (up to 16 instances), DEEP Compressors, DEEP Gates and the Dual Stage Valve Preamp emulation. For engineers used to dLive processing or with complex dynamics needs, the upgrade is well worth the investment.
Can I control the Avantis Solo wirelessly from the room?
Yes. Using the two gigabit Ethernet ports, connect a wireless router and manage the entire mix through the MixPad app (iOS/Android). Performers can also set their own monitor mix via the OneMix iOS app or an ME personal mixer.
The Avantis Solo is the obvious choice when you want the processing power of a large console system without hauling around a large console system. Order now at Pro Gear.
