Avantis is a 64 channel / 42 configurable bus mixer platform, expandable to 96 channel / 56 configurable bus, featuring a 96kHz XCVI FPGA engine with class-leading 0.7ms latency plus add-on processing and effects from the flagship dLive mixing system.

dPack

Avantis delivers a powerful toolkit right out of the box, but the dPack upgrade significantly scales your capabilities. By integrating elite dLive processing, dPack provides access to DEEP compressors, 24 instances of Dyn8, and the cutting-edge RackUltra FX Suite (requires RackUltra FX card).

This comprehensive upgrade also transforms your console’s capacity, increasing your workspace to 96 input channels and 56 configurable mix busses to meet the most demanding production requirements.

RackUltra FX

The RackUltra FX Card, available as a factory-fitted option for all new Avantis and Avantis Solo mixers, or available as an upgrade for existing units, adds 8 RackUltra FX engines to any dPack-enabled Avantis system without consuming any of the platform’s busses, channels, or RackExtra FX slots.

This cutting-edge hardware enables a suite of advanced vocal tools, including Vocal Shifter for radical alterations, Vocal Tuner for natural pitch correction, and Vocal Gridder for snappy, modern pitch effects.

Beyond vocals, the RackUltra FX card offers Spaces Reverb Designer and Plate Reverb Designer for crafting stunning reverberation, a trio of Harmonisers for rich vocal layering, the advanced Rhythm Delay, and powerful tone-shaping tools like the Saturator and Amp+Cab Distortion.
