Allen & Heath Avantis RackUltra FX Upgrade With dPack

For engineers who want every available tool at their fingertips, the Allen & Heath Avantis RackUltra FX upgrade with dPack transforms an Avantis mixer into a fully unlocked live production platform. Combining the expanded channel capacity and DEEP technologies of dPack with the studio-grade effects environment of RackUltra FX, this package unlocks the maximum potential of the Avantis ecosystem. The result is a comprehensive upgrade that adds more channels, more buses, expanded dynamic control and an entirely new level of effects capability, all running natively within the console without relying on external computers, servers or additional DSP hardware.

Expanded Mixing Power With dPack

The included dPack upgrade significantly expands the core capabilities of Avantis, increasing input capacity to 96 channels and configurable mix buses to 56. Engineers also gain access to up to 24 instances of Dyn8 processing, providing advanced dynamic EQ and multiband compression tools for controlling vocals, instruments and entire mixes with exceptional precision. DEEP technologies further enhance the console with acclaimed compressor and boutique-style preamp emulations embedded directly into input and mix channels, delivering sophisticated sonic control without adding latency or unnecessary workflow complexity.

RackUltra FX Brings Studio Processing to Live Sound

Powered by a dedicated hardware expansion card, RackUltra FX introduces an extensive collection of effects designed specifically for professional live production. Advanced vocal tuning and grid-based pitch processing support everything from transparent correction to dramatic creative textures, while saturation processors and amp/cabinet simulations add warmth, color and harmonic character to vocals and instruments. Engineers also gain access to expansive reverbs, pristine delays and immersive spatial effects that rival many of today's leading studio plug-ins, all operating directly within the Avantis environment.

Native Performance Without External Systems

Unlike software-based solutions that depend on laptops or external processing hardware, both dPack and RackUltra FX operate natively within the Avantis architecture. This eliminates concerns surrounding computer stability, plug-in compatibility and added latency while ensuring critical tools remain immediately available throughout a performance. Whether supporting major touring productions, houses of worship, corporate events or complex installed sound systems, the Avantis RackUltra FX upgrade with dPack provides a seamless path to expanded mixing capacity, advanced effects and flagship-level performance.
