Allen & HeathAvantis Solo Ultra 96-Channel Digital Mixer With RackUltra FX and dPack

Product overview
About this model
For engineers who refuse to compromise, every show demands maximum channel count, premium effects and absolute reliability. The Allen & Heath Avantis Solo Ultra was created to deliver exactly that, combining the compact footprint of Avantis Solo with every major expansion already unlocked in a single turnkey platform. Featuring both dPack and RackUltra FX pre-installed, Avantis Solo Ultra transforms into a 96-channel, 56-bus live sound powerhouse capable of handling demanding touring productions, festivals, houses of worship and corporate events without relying on external DSP servers, outboard processors or laptop-based effects systems. Powered by Allen & Heath's ultralow-latency 96kHz XCVI FPGA engine, it delivers flagship-level mixing, advanced DEEP processing and studio-grade effects directly from the console, giving engineers everything they need from the moment they power on. Fully Expanded Processing and Mixing Power At the core of Avantis Solo Ultra is Allen & Heath's XCVI 96kHz FPGA processing engine, delivering exceptional audio quality with class-leading 0.7ms latency. With dPack included as standard, the mixer expands from 64 input channels and 42 buses to 96 input channels and 56 configurable mix buses. This additional capacity gives engineers the freedom to manage larger productions, extensive routing schemes and demanding monitor mixes without constantly balancing system resources. The upgrade also unlocks up to 24 instances of Dyn8 dynamic processing, providing sophisticated multiband compression and dynamic EQ tools for everything from vocal refinement to overall mix shaping. DEEP Processing From the dLive Ecosystem Avantis Solo Ultra inherits powerful DEEP technologies from Allen & Heath's flagship dLive platform, bringing premium hardware emulations directly into the console's channels and buses. Engineers gain access to advanced compressor models, boutique-style preamp emulations and the highly anticipated CompStortion processor, which delivers a broad range of compression characteristics, saturation options and creative tonal shaping. Because DEEP runs natively within the console architecture, users enjoy premium sound quality without sacrificing latency, channel count or overall system performance. RackUltra FX Brings Studio Effects to the Stage Included as standard, RackUltra FX introduces a new generation of live sound effects powered by dedicated hardware. Eight RackUltra FX engines provide access to advanced reverbs, pristine delays, harmonizers, vocal processors, saturation tools, distortion effects and amp/cabinet simulations without consuming channels, buses or existing RackExtra FX slots. Vocal Tuner and Gridder processing range from transparent pitch correction to dramatic creative textures, while expansive spatial processors and cinematic reverbs rival many of today's leading studio plug-ins. Best of all, everything runs natively within the console, eliminating the need for external computers and the risks associated with software-based systems. Continuity UI and Streamlined Control The Avantis Solo Ultra workflow is centered around a 15.6" Full HD touchscreen powered by Allen & Heath's Continuity UI. Designed to seamlessly connect physical controls with touchscreen interaction, the interface keeps critical parameters immediately accessible while maintaining an intuitive workflow. Smart Rotaries provide contextual control over preamps, EQ, dynamics and effects, while touch-sensitive faders offer immediate visual feedback. Multiple control layers, customizable SoftKeys and flexible layouts allow engineers to tailor the console around their preferred workflow rather than adapting to a fixed operating structure. Built for Modern Production Environments Despite its compact footprint, Avantis Solo Ultra is designed to integrate into demanding professional audio systems. Dual 128x128 expansion slots support Dante, Waves, MADI, gigaACE and other networking formats, while compatibility with the Everything I/O ecosystem, IP controllers, MixPad, 4You and Avantis Director software provides exceptional system flexibility. Whether serving as a front-of-house console, monitor desk, broadcast mixer or permanent installation solution, the Allen & Heath Avantis Solo Ultra delivers flagship-level mixing, advanced effects and professional workflow tools in a streamlined format built for today's most demanding productions.
