UK – A.C. Entertainment Technologies Audio team were recently called upon to help Just Smile Ltd make their latest investment, the Allen & Heath Avantis Digital Mixer and I/O. Based in Watford, Just Smile Ltd was founded in 2009 and have gone from strength to strength with each of the vast number of events they have made possible over the years.
Just Smile’s dynamic approach to projects needed to be reflected in the audio console they chose. Managing Director David Rees chatted with Steve Eaton, Senior Audio Sales Executive here at AC-ET about his requirements for this new addition. Looking for something which was portable yet still offered maximum levels of control, David was interested in the Allen & Heath Avantis digital console.
The Just Smile team had the opportunity to see this piece of next-generation audio technology in person at a recent trade show and were “impressed with its power and functionality’’ – subsequently choosing this model to add to their catalogue.
This console offers 64 channels and a fully configurable mix architecture. Alongside the dual full HD touchscreens with Continuity UI, it really does make it the next step in audio technology. The Avantis digital console offered the team flexibility, which is essential when creating spectacular weddings one day and corporate events the next.
Steve was able to understand the needs of this booming business and priced not only the Avantis digital console but also the GX4816 Stage Box, which provides high-input-count remote expansion for the Avantis model.
Due to Just Smile’s small core team, this console needed to be something that they and freelancers ‘’could pick up quickly or already understand’’. The Avantis enabled this, echoing Allen & Heaths cutting edge technology that has come before and building upon it, allowing a familiarity amongst users.
David explained:
The design and size makes it perfect for a company like us, where we need something which can offer us the control and flexibility in a portable size.
David continued:
The service from AC was quick and professional. We were given solid product advice and a price not just for the desk, but also stage box etc which will be essential. We are very pleased to add the Allen & Heath Avantis to our inventory.
If you’re too looking for the latest addition for your business, whether it be Lighting, Audio, Video or Rigging related, the AC-ET team will be happy to help. Get in touch today!
