Avantis MixPad is an engineer’s mixing tool providing wireless mobile control for the Allen & Heath Avantis digital mixer. It gives you the freedom to walk the room or stage and control the sound right where it is needed.
Avantis MixPad and the Avantis mixer can work together to provide simultaneous control of independent functions, for example one engineer using the mixer to mix front-of-house sound, and another using the iPad to mix monitors on stage. Several iPads can be connected, each providing independent control.
