Hi Hugh,

I respect your opinion, but I can’t agree with you on your assessment. If you cut an avantis in half, it would have a striking comparison to a QL1.

– One big screen
– More info to display on that screen (compared to something like an SQ)
– Similar form factor
– Similar fader count
– Both made by major console companies
– Both have expansion options (yamaha has a lot more here with their MY cards)
– Pricing in the ball park.
– I’m not sure how many people get excited in the diff btw 48k and 96k.

Can’t agree with you on trashing yamaha preamps either. Heck, you and I have both seen posts on Gearslutz with a golden eared well known recordist using TF preamps.

You might not make that comparison, but I suspect a number of consumers would. The real question is, “what does Allen and Heath think?”

I suppose a mini aventis would be directly competing with a Yamaha QL1. Similar form factor.

I like AdamsFlys idea of the mini advantis with the beautiful screen. i’m currently in the market for a digital mixer and would jump at something like that if priced right. Happy to use stage boxes rather than drag cables back to the mixer anyways.
