Our take
History & design
The Avantis Solo Ultra combines the compact surface of the Avantis Solo with the extended capacity of the Ultra range, launched in April 2026 with the V2.0 update of the Avantis platform. It keeps the Solo chassis (one 15.6-inch touchscreen, 12 motorized faders, 18 SoftKeys) but the engine moves up to 96 input channels and 56 configurable buses, against 64 channels and 42 buses on the Solo and the original Avantis.
The 96 kHz XCVI FPGA core derived from dLive keeps its 0.7 ms latency. The RackUltra FX card is fitted at the factory (8 effects racks on top of the 12 RackExtra FX) and dPack is included, with 24 Dyn8 processors, DEEP compressors and the NEQ12 equalizer. Local I/O matches the Solo: 6 analogue inputs and 6 analogue outputs, one AES stereo input and one AES stereo output, two 128x128 option ports for Dante, MADI, gigaACE or Waves cards. Add 16 DCAs, AMM automatic mixing on up to 64 channels, a 61-band RTA and RF receiver integration.
