Overview
This bundle packages a full size Avantis console with the Avantis dPack software upgrade and the fitted Avantis dust cover (AVANTIS-DUSTCOVER). The console is the 24 fader, dual 15.6 inch touchscreen Avantis running the 96kHz XCVI engine from dLive with 0.7ms latency, 12 XLR inputs and outputs, AES, USB stereo recording and BNC word clock.
dPack lifts the mix engine from 64 inputs and 42 busses to 96 input channels and 56 busses, adds 24 Dyn8 dynamic EQ and multiband compression engines and unlocks the DEEP processing library: compressor emulations such as 16T, 16VU, Opto, OptTronik and PeakLimiter 76, the Dual Stage Valve Preamp, Source and Dual Threshold Expanders, and NEQ12 on the mix outputs. The dust cover is black water repellent polyester with a printed logo, cut for the Avantis frame. Two 128x128 I/O Ports and SLink take the dLive card range and Allen & Heath expanders. Because dPack is enabled, the console is ready for the M-AV-ULTRAFX RackUltra FX module whenever you want to add it.

Forefront Tip
If you are also likely to want the premium RackUltra FX, compare this bundle with the Avantis Ultra (AVANTIS-U), which has the module factory fitted and avoids a service centre install later.
