Allen & Heath

Allen & Heath is a British manufacturer of professional audio mixing consoles and associated control software, serving live sound, installation and recording markets. Its Windows-compatible applications translate the tactile workflow of physical desks into flexible, multi-touch environments where engineers can build complete shows away from hardware, then dock a laptop for real-time mix control during events. Avantis Director mirrors the layout of the Avantis family, offering drag-and-drop channel strip arrangement, scene management and embedded Shure or Sennheiser wireless monitoring, all while running offline for pre-production rehearsals. dLive Director extends the same philosophy to the flagship dLive ecosystem, providing full offline show construction, extensive routing, built-in DEEP and RackExtra FX editing, and seamless transfer of shows via USB or network, so festival patch lists or theatre cue stacks can be perfected in advance and deployed instantly at FOH or monitors. SQ MixPad complements the compact SQ range, giving wireless tablet or laptop access to all mixing parameters, custom layers, RTA and spectrogram views for quick system tuning, and the ability to walk the room while adjusting wedges or streaming mixes. Together these tools cover club gigs, houses of worship, touring productions and broadcast suites, letting engineers prepare, refine and execute mixes with the same sonic architecture found in the company’s acclaimed consoles. The publisher’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always installing the newest releases and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
