About: Allen & Heath Avantis dPack Processing Package (Download)

Avantis dPack enables dLive processing direct inside your Avantis, including Dyn8 (up to 16 instances), DEEP Compressors, exclusive RackExtra FX and the Dual Stage Valve Preamp, plus more models as they’re added.

DEEP

Trusted by platinum selling artists on sellout tours, DEEP puts incredible emulations directly within Avantis’ input and mix channels with zero latency. No burning FX slots, no 3rd party gear hassles and no issues with latency or phase coherency.

• Peak Limiter 76: Inspired by the legendary sound of two eras of one of the world's most revered FET limiting amplifiers - Peak Limiter 76 captures a sound immediately recognisable from the last 50 years of classic studio recordings.
• OptTronik: Inspired by a legendary tube-driven, electro-optical levelling amplifier, OptTronik’s smooth, musical ‘2A-style compression makes it the perfect match for many sources, including vocals and bass guitar.
• 16T: Taking its sonic cues from the industry standard compressor limiter found in every live and studio rack, 16T produces tight, punchy compression with a character that is immediately recognisable.
• 16VU: Inspired by the performance and character of a legendary solid-state VCA compressor, the 16VU captures the spirit of this classic sound and serves it up within your Avantis.
• Mighty: Inspired by a classic transistor array VCA dynamics processor, the Mighty puts aggressive compression with a unique character inside your Avantis.
• Opto: What happens when you take the characteristics of a rack-full of highly desirable optical compressors and combine them into one killer unit? You get the Opto.
• Bus: Bus brings the sound of a fabled VCA bus compressor into your Avantis. Perfect for adding sonic cohesion and glue to your mix and sub-groups.
• Source Expander: Industry standard source expansion and enhancement. Source Expander makes it quick and easy to reduce bleed and increase gain-before-feedback.
• Dual Threshold Expander: The ultimate expansion processor: Dual Threshold Expander is designed for the most challenging stage acoustics where expert control is required.
• Dual Stage Valve: 100 years after their introduction to the world of audio, valves are still relied on daily by sound engineers all over the world for the vintage colour and euphonic distortion characteristics they impart upon audio signals. Dual Stage Valve painstakingly models the behaviour of both pentode and triode topologies offering everything from a touch of warmth through to full-on valve crunch.

Dyn8

Avantis dPack also delivers Dyn8, a powerful and sophisticated processor boasting 4 bands of dynamic EQ and 4 bands of multiband compression. With endless applications including taming vocals, tightening sub-groups or adding sonic glue to a mix, Dyn8 changes the way we think about dynamic processing. dPack enables 16 Dyn8 engines for inserting on Input and Mix channels.

RackExtra FX

Allen & Heath has a well-earned reputation for crafting FX emulations that rival the very best third party plug-ins, but with none of the associated hassle. Some RackExtra FX are exclusive to dPack, such as Transient Controller and HypaBass.

• Transient Controller: Transient Controller is an accurate model of the industry-standard Transient Signal Processor, providing cut and boost of the attack and sustain envelopes of the input signal.
• Hypabass: Hypabass is a sub-harmonic synthesizer used to generate infra (lower than 36Hz) and sub bass (36-70Hz) from weaker bass programme.
