Finally!! I’ve had this board for almost a year! Been waiting on someone to post a video about it!

[tommih]

I really love the snappiness of the Allen & Heath faders as you switch through the layers. Super smooth and fast. And very quite which is really important to me

[JoboLS]

So my 1st church here in Ghana got this board a few months ago, they are having so much fun with it. I’ve got the SQ 6 in our virtual studio. Great boards from A&H

[samgonza]

Noticed he spoke about Aviom. Obviously Aviom is a very common system to find in churches. But the Allen & Heaths ME personal monitoring system exceeds the capability of the Aviom system BY FAR. You can have access to 40 channels and even group them as well. So one mix/channel on the ME system can be the drum group and have all 6+ channels for the drums. The mix/channel acts as a main fader for that group. But on small click and you can adjust each channel individually in that group as well. And there are 16 of these mix/channels available to configure how you like. Please look into this system if you are considering most of A&H’s digital mixers. Truly a game changer in my mind when it comes to personal monitoring.

You are slowly converting to Allen and Heath! Lol. You are gonna love them. I see you Jake!

The avantis that comes with deep plugins cost $10, 299.00 and the avantis without plugins cost $8, 999.00 just in case anyone is wondering why you see a price difference

[asilva_media]

we just bought one and with some of the recent updates it’s been amazing

[bcalenda]

Great video. I’ll be using one tomorrow for the first time at worship services.

[scooterpoynter]

We have had this board for almost a year now and we love it!! It’s an incredible machine

[JonathanGrahamVideo]

We just recently switched to the Avantis at our church. We are now utilizing Dante with it.

We were using the Yamaha M7CL before.

I’ve been using this desk for about 8 months. It’s been great. It’s a step up from our old Allen & Heath GLD. I use the eq and comp on the encoders all the time. I do t use the touch screen much. Having physical knobs and faders is why I use a console. I have a matrix with post fader sends for our broadcast mix. This does the job well.

[jamesparish]

We have an ADvatis borad....Love it...Its in our studio..
GANGING is Tieing 1 or more mics together as they follow fader..

I would have loved to have heard you guys speak more at the end on what those differences are in the Avantis vs the SQ series because of the hands on use with both. Other than just a higher amount of similar features ( more slots for effects, more I/O, etc) what are biggest ‘feeling’ differences?

My church has used the GLD80 since 2012 and with it being discontinued, I have been looking at what we would go to. The features and workflow are very similar to the sq and avantis. A&H also gave the GLD series the compressors and new effects for free. At this point it doesn’t feel worth it to spend 5k to just get fresh hardware. On the other hand the board is almost a decade old and I don’t want it to die on us and left high and dry.

I think I’m still most intrigued by the Behringer Wing. It at least sticks out because they seem to keep pushing and updating their software and offering more features to the same hardware.

[charlieecosta]

Ha! We have the exact same setup in our church in the UK! We got the 1st one in the UK 😉 delivered in Mar 20! Great console.

[jfrohne]

I'm sure, other people have pointed it out: The X32/M32 have a 4 band Compressor, you can put in 4 of the effect racks, so you can Insert that on op to 8 Channels

[TrackItRight]

Great board. We got one for a steal with DPack so I grabbed it for our AV Control Room (ok actually I FORCED them to upgrade from a Mackie 8db). I'm personally still on the iLive 112 for FOH and Monitors but will be upgrading to dLive in the near future.

[alexanderturkach]

We got it a week ago. I like it! Also I would recommend to adjust main speakers EQ (exactly in that church) because there are too extreme EQ cutting on almost each channels.

[Dannys.channel]

I wanna go to these churches and see and hear what they do because it’s different when you’re in the environment

[tommih]

Dsnake- Qu/GLD
Slink- sq/ avantis (backwards compatible with dsnake)
GigaAce- dLive
Dx- io expansion snakes/ panels

[magoostus]

ha even the behringer x-air and x32 have a 5-band multiband compressor, and it comes free, its called Combinator
