Great job Johnny! I have been mixing on the Avantis since April of last year and it does a great job. There were even some features that you uncovered that I hadn't noticed before. It was a big change coming from a Yamaha M7 and having all the faders at your fingertips, to mixing off of pages but as long as you are strategic with your Strip assignments, DCAs and groups you can make it work to stay on 1 layer during a service. I also have a full choir and orchestra to mix so a more contemporary church with just a worship band can achieve that quite easily. Like you, I would definitely recommend this to a church looking to upgrade their system but not wanting to drop the big money on a dLive. All the best.

That's awesome! I'm glad you've been enjoying your's too! I think we're going to see a ton of churches moving to Allen & Heath over the next couple years!

I'm still rockin' the iLive T112 at my church. Currently quoting them for an upgrade though. Going with Avantis.

Great content and overview. The church where I'm MD is getting two of these consoles (FOH& broadcast), but we're coming up on a year of waiting because of delays on the Dante cards. Consoles and all associated gear (I/O racks, personal mixers, etc.) have been sitting in storage since the summer, and looks like the Dante cards are still 4 months out (at best). Anyone interested should be aware of the delays on all the A&H accessory cards (believe Dante are most delayed) as it can bring your install to a halt as you wait - very frustrating...

Do not wait for the dante cards to get the console, get the console asap and then whenever the cards come in they come because you’re going to be wait a long time for it. People are still waiting from 2021 for their dante card orders to show up. Go get your consoles immediately

@@dubanentertainment5783 The consoles and all associated gear (i/o racks, personal mixers, etc.) have been sitting in storage since the early summer (2022). We have no way to install them without Dante. Our current Vi3000 has Dante built in natively, and it's essential in our install. So we're stuck waiting unfortunately.

Oh wow. That’s a heart breaker. If possible could you use a GigaAce card option from one Avantis to the next to get signal from location to the other.

@@dubanentertainment5783 Haha - that is is for sure. We actually looked into both Waves and GigaAce, but both of those cards are just about as tricky to get right now unfortunately. Supposedly our cards will ship in April, but that's after being told 'for sure' December 2022. We shall see.

Is the quality of the preamps and audio quality the same as the SQ7?

I’m thinking on investing in a solo but there’s something that’s keeping me away from this decision.. I’ve seen many groups online talking about problems with the Avantis failing mid show: either freezing and passing audio but faders not responding or orher issues in that line: have you really used it day in and day out to try its reliability? I’ll be using it even outside in the miami weather. How are they with working in hot weather?

@revelationevents2323 Жыл бұрын

How does the Avantis solo feel? Does it feel different? Does it feel limited compared to the regular Avantis?

@WorshipSoundGuy Жыл бұрын

I think it's awesome! I wish it were a little less expensive... but it does have ALL the features of the larger one, just with half the control surface. So the only place it feels limited is in the physical space. As far as everything else goes, it's functionally identical.

Bin sehr zufrieden. Einziger Knackpunkt, sind die Softkeys, die man manuell beschriften muss. Kann sich doch keine merken. Vor allem wenn das Update kommt, das gerade neu bei der dLive Serie herausgekommen ist. Habe den Vorschlag gemacht dass man das über eine. App Oberfläche realisiert. Mit der Controller App kann man das teilweise Umsetzen. Dort sind aber nicht alle Möglichkeiten implementiert. Und da man das Manuell erstellen muss, gehen Änderungen nicht Synchron. Muss alles Manuel gemacht werden. Kennst du die Mixing Station App. Die ist besser als die A&H App. Da kannst du deine Oberflächen frei konfigurieren. Leider sind da auch noch nicht die Softkeys implementiert. Im Update kommen Actions, heißt eine frei Programmierbare Funktion. Zum Beispiel Talkback einzeln oder Band die man auf Softkeys legen kann. Ist Praktisch dann eine Szene die man Punktuell benutzt. Oder Umschaltung Probe, und Live.Hoffe das Update kommt dieses Jahr noch.😊. Gruß aus dem alten Deutschland.

Hi Could you comment on using a Slate Raven Mti2 or MTZ to control streaming mix, be it a Matrix or Ableton Live via Dante.. What other options would you suggest for streaming mix control for the Avantis?

Do you have WSG presets for this yet? Been missing them since we upgraded from GLD series

SO soon ;) Are there any specific features/presets/anything that you'd like to see with a preset package that would make it really useful for you?

@jakesettera2124 2 жыл бұрын

@@WorshipSoundGuy aside from the normal(Eq’s, compressors,…..) Gates for drums. Maybe separate eqs for too and bottom mics on a snare? Anything that you might consider standard practice in a church setting these days. Maybe even some eqs or presets for the on board effects. That would cool.

@matthewcaporale 2 жыл бұрын

@@WorshipSoundGuy I'll chime in on this - if possible offering packages specific to dPack and non dPack enabled consoles would be ideal. This would be a great asset to have quickly accessible starting points to getting things dialed in. Aside from that general speech, vocal, instrument, drums, bus, and master presets would be a great starting place.

Schon gewusst, mit der App Mixing Station kannst einen individuellen zusätzlichen Screen erstellen. Noch besser, du kannst dort in der App Szenen erstellen. Auch Kanal presets. Zum Beispiel bei GLD oder auch X32. Und dann diese zum Beispiel im Avantis einladen. Sprich du kannst die App für eine Migration nutzen. Funktioniert für 6 Hersteller. So musst du nicht alles von Grund auf einstellen. Noch nicht getestet. Denke funktioniert zu 90 Prozent. Das was bei den Mmeisten Mischern identisch ist, kein Problem, eher die FX Section, die von den Prozessoren Unterschiedlich sein kann, aber Unstimmigkeiten werden beim einladen in das andere Pult gemeldet. Und die Migration von GLD zu Avantis sollte kein Problem sein, anders herum könnte das rausfallen, was beim Geld nicht vorhanden ist, Kanäle 49 bis 64 zum Beispiel.
