Allen & Heath AH-M-AV-ULTRAFX-DPACK-RUFX – Avantis RackUltra FX...
What is the Allen & Heath AH-M-AV-ULTRAFX-DPACK-RUFX upgrade?
The Allen & Heath AH-M-AV-ULTRAFX-DPACK-RUFX is an upgrade bundle for an existing full-size Avantis digital mixing console that includes the RackUltra FX card and Avantis dPack. Together they take a standard Avantis to the Avantis Ultra feature set: 96 input channels, 56 configurable mixes, DEEP processing and eight RackUltra FX engines. It suits venues, houses of worship and production companies that want flagship processing on the console they already own.
How does the Allen & Heath Avantis RackUltra FX and dPack upgrade work?
dPack expands the Avantis mix architecture from 64 to 96 input channels and from 42 to 56 configurable mixes, and adds dLive processing: 24 Dyn8 instances, DEEP compressors (16T, 16VU, Bus, CompStortion, Mighty, Opto, OptTronik and PeakLimiter 76), Source and Dual Threshold expanders, the Dual Stage Valve preamp, NEQ12 EQ, and the Hypabass and Transient Controller RackExtra FX.
The RackUltra FX card is installed in the console by an Allen & Heath Authorised Service Centre and adds eight RackUltra FX engines to a dPack-enabled Avantis without consuming channels, busses or RackExtra FX slots. The RackUltra FX collection includes Vocal Tuner, Vocal Gridder and Vocal Shifter, Spaces and Plate reverb designers, harmonisers, Saturator and Amp+Cab Distortion, with PEQ and sidechain dynamics on every FX input and output. For installed systems, Creation Networks can schedule the service-centre fitting around your event calendar.
