Avantis4You vs Spektral Mobile

Avantis4You is a personal monitor mixing app for the Allen & Heath Avantis mixer giving you customised control of your own monitor mix on stage using a smart phone or tablet. It is for remote control of a single mix (it does not pass audio) and connects to the Avantis via a connected wireless router or access point. Avantis4You allows you to: -Choose any Aux mix to control -Assign which sources to control (Channels, FX Returns, Groups) -View channel numbers, names and meters -Control individual channel send levels and pan -Assign up to 4 groups of channels to level trim wheels -Create a ‘Me’ group for quick control of your own channels -Name each group -Control the Aux mix level and mute -Control the Aux mix PEQ, Graphic EQ and Compressor -Lock the mix and/or processing to prevent user error Requirements: An Allen & Heath Avantis mixer with a wireless router (access point) connected to one of its Network ports. The Avantis mixer firmware and Avantis4You app must share the same major release version (the first two numbers) but maintenance version numbers do not need to be identical, for example Avantis4You V2.00 is compatible with Avantis firmware V2.06. A user must have both ‘Avantis4You’ and access to at least one mix allowed in Avantis User Permissions. Refer to the Allen & Heath web site for more information and to download the latest Avantis mixder firmware.

Spektral is a professional real-time audio analyser for sound engineers. Ring out a PA, find the frequency that is howling, and keep an eye on the level in the room, all from your iPhone or iPad. THREE VIEWS, ONE WORKFLOW • RTA: live spectrum on a logarithmic frequency scale, 20Hz to 20kHz • Spectrograph: scrolling time-frequency heatmap, where feedback shows as a persistent bright horizontal line • SPL meter: A, C or Z weighted, Fast, Slow or Impulse, with the room's history behind it RING-OUT Spektral listens for a frequency that is building rather than one that is merely loud, so a bass note or a mains hum cannot set it off. When it finds one it names the frequency, gives you the musical note, and suggests the notch: centre frequency, Q and cut. Confirmed rings stay in a list as you work through them. LEVEL AND LEQ • Leq over 1 minute, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour and 8 hours, all running at once • Three hours of level history on one graph, with min, max and average • Limit Guard: set a limit and a window, and Spektral forecasts how long you have before you reach it • Calibrate against an acoustic calibrator when you need accurate absolute levels PRECISION • 4096-point FFT • Parabolic interpolation for sub-bin cursor and peak accuracy • Peak hold with smooth decay • Smoothing from 1/24 octave through to 1/1 • Frame averaging up to infinite • Musical note display on peaks and cursor TOOLS • Identify: labels the strongest peaks automatically, or just the single worst one • Snapshot compare: freeze a trace and A/B against it • Pink noise generator for reference output TOUCH-OPTIMISED • Horizontal pinch zooms the frequency axis, vertical pinch zooms the dB range • Drag to pan when zoomed, tap to place the cursor • Double-tap to reset all zoom and pan DESIGNED FOR THE STAGE • Full-screen dark interface for low-light environments • Works in portrait and landscape • Uses the built-in microphone or any connected audio interface REMOTE MONITORING (optional in-app purchase) Send this device's SPL readings to Spektral on your Mac over iCloud, so one engineer can watch several positions at once. No subscriptions. No account required. The analyser runs entirely offline.
