Just Smile Ltd beam with their latest Allen & Heath purchase

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.
