Allen & Heath AH-FC-AVANTIS-GOMC Avantis Flight Case with Doghouse

Allen & Heath AH-FC-AVANTIS-GOMC — Avantis Mixer Flight Case with Doghouse

The Allen & Heath AH-FC-AVANTIS-GOMC is the manufacturer-designed flight case for the Avantis digital mixing console, engineered to provide secure transit protection and ergonomic operator access during touring productions, live events, and production transport. The doghouse section of the case accommodates the power supply and cabling infrastructure beneath the console surface, allowing the Avantis to be operated from within the case at venues where a dedicated mixing desk position is not available. As the official Allen & Heath Avantis flight case, it is form-fitted to the Avantis console geometry, ensuring a secure fit without adapter plates or modification.

Product Description

Designed specifically for the Allen & Heath Avantis digital mixing surface, the AH-FC-AVANTIS-GOMC flight case provides road-grade protection during vehicle transport between venues. The rigid outer shell and custom-formed interior protect the Avantis control surface, touchscreen displays, and fader assemblies from impact and vibration damage that would otherwise accumulate over repeated touring cycles. The doghouse compartment — a recessed cable and power supply management section built into the case — organizes the Avantis power connection and input/output cabling so that the case functions as a self-contained, ready-to-operate station at the mix position.

The GOMC designation indicates this is the official Allen & Heath manufactured case rather than a third-party equivalent, ensuring dimensional accuracy matched to the production Avantis console. Using the factory case eliminates the risk of fitment issues, improper cutouts, or insufficient padding that can occur with generic flight case solutions. The case is particularly suited for touring engineers who require consistent setup times at each venue, as the Avantis can remain connected and cable-managed within the doghouse section between shows, minimizing rig time at load-in.

Key Features

• Factory Allen & Heath Design — Dimensionally matched to the Avantis console production specification, eliminating fitment risk and ensuring the console is retained securely during transport without modification or adapters.
• Integrated Doghouse Section — Recessed power supply and cable management compartment beneath the console allows the Avantis to be operated in-case at the mix position, reducing setup and pack-down time at each venue.
• Road-Grade Transit Protection — Rigid outer shell and custom-formed interior padding protect the Avantis surface, displays, faders, and control elements from impact and vibration during road transport.
• In-Case Operation Ready — The case geometry allows the Avantis to be used as a working console within the open case, providing full access to all controls, displays, and connections.
• Touring Efficiency — Keeping the Avantis cabled and managed within the doghouse between shows significantly reduces rig time, making the case a practical time-saving investment for high-frequency touring schedules.

Typical Applications

• Touring Productions — Protects the Avantis console during repeated load-in and load-out cycles on touring productions, preserving the console's operating condition over extended tour schedules.
• Live Events — Enables the Avantis to be deployed at temporary event venues without a permanent mixing desk structure, with the doghouse providing cable organization at the mix position.
• Production Transport — Rental companies and production houses transport the Avantis in the factory case to maintain equipment condition and reduce the risk of damage between deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the AH-FC-AVANTIS-GOMC include the Avantis console?

No. The AH-FC-AVANTIS-GOMC is the flight case only. The Allen & Heath Avantis console is sold separately. Contact Creation Networks if you need a bundled console and case package.

Can the Avantis be operated while inside this flight case?

Yes. The case is designed for in-case operation. With the lid open, the Avantis console is fully accessible and all controls, displays, and rear-panel connections remain reachable. The doghouse section organizes power and audio cabling beneath the surface.

What does the doghouse section accommodate?

The doghouse is a recessed compartment typically housing the console's power supply connection and the primary audio and network cables entering the rear of the console. This allows the case to be set up at a venue with minimal cable management effort at each deployment.

Is this case compatible with any other Allen & Heath console?

The AH-FC-AVANTIS-GOMC is designed exclusively for the Avantis console. For dLive C2500, C3500, or other surface models, Allen & Heath offers dedicated flight cases specific to those products.

What warranty applies to this flight case?

Allen & Heath accessories purchased through authorized dealers are covered under the standard Allen & Heath limited warranty. Contact Creation Networks for current warranty terms at the time of purchase.

Is this case available for international shipping?

Contact Creation Networks directly to discuss shipping options, freight requirements, and lead times for this item, as flight cases may require freight shipping rather than standard parcel carrier service due to size and weight.
