Allen & Heath AH-M-AV-ULTRAFX-RUFX – Avantis RackUltra FX Card ...
What is the Allen & Heath AH-M-AV-ULTRAFX-RUFX upgrade?
The Allen & Heath AH-M-AV-ULTRAFX-RUFX is the RackUltra FX card upgrade for the full-size Avantis digital mixing console. It adds eight RackUltra FX engines to a dPack-enabled Avantis, giving engineers dLive-class vocal tuning, reverb designers, harmonisers and saturation without giving up any channels, busses or RackExtra FX slots.
How does the Allen & Heath Avantis RackUltra FX card work?
The card is a hardware module fitted inside the console by an Allen & Heath Authorised Service Centre. It powers eight stereo effects engines with dedicated sends and returns that run alongside the 12 RackExtra FX racks already on Avantis.
It enables the RackUltra FX collection of 10 algorithms, including Vocal Tuner, Vocal Gridder and Vocal Shifter, Spaces Reverb Designer and Plate Reverb Designer, harmonisers, Saturator and Amp+Cab Distortion. Each FX input and output has 4-band PEQ, plus compression, gating, expansion and ducking with sidechain. Allen & Heath states that RackUltra FX adds engines to dPack-enabled Avantis systems, so confirm dPack is active before ordering, or choose the AH-M-AV-ULTRAFX-DPACK-RUFX bundle.
