aside from its compact form factor , the Avantis would not be out of place on a major tour . The A & H development team clearly pursued their passion with this desk . The fact A & H is a bespoke enterprise and not a minor subsidiary of some conglomerate run by bean counters is evident in every facet of the product , from how the knobs feel to the variable illumination dedicated to the fader bay ; an advantage brought to life by listening to requests from veteran mix operators . Avantis delivers where it matters most : robust build quality mated to superior sound quality in a design that is both simple and comprehensive .
Allen & Heath has a well-earned status in the industry for world class after-sale service and support , with dedicated engineers available to answer questions bolstered by an active user base and constantly updated online forums . Any church seeking to upgrade from a mass-market mixer or any ministry seeking to maintain consistency across its campuses should place an Avantis at the top of their list . Its excellent sound , vast interconnectivity and volunteer-friendly functioning almost preclude
looking at anything else less than $ 20K . Now , if A & H could turn their attention to fixing British car maker TVR , they could rule Britannia in two industries . www . allen-heath . com
