A & H Avantis stage box loan/hire

[Ynot]

We're looking at a purchase of an Avantis desk and have arranged a 2 week loan for assessment at the next musical on our books. We can get one 16/8 stage box but need at least 2 to cover the band and mics etc - is there anyone midlands based who has an Avantis with a stage box spare that we might borrow or rent for 2 weeks from this Saturday (25th)?

Running out of options/time on this one 😞
Bumping the thread in case someone with ideas missed it before 🙂

Have you spoken to Solotech? Or ask the dealer that's providing the loan who else they've sold to who might be able to help out.

They're perhaps not as widely hired as some other options, with a lot of hire cos sticking with Yamaha and Digico.

The dealer providing the desk only has 1 16/6 box available at this point. Solotech haven't responded to my request for a quote (sent on Saturday) so wasn't one I tried to tap for an extra stagebox or two. 

However we're now sorted as another supplier who did quote - and local to us - have a couple and we've arranged to hire 

So this one's done and dusted now, thanks

Quick update on this one - noise isn't my primary discipline, so I leave that sort of thing to those who are more versed to assess, but from what I can gather so far, our guys have fallen in love with the Avantis.

We'll see how it performs for a full show with 12 ish piece band, 13 rad mics and stage feeds plus SFX next week, but I think we'll be spending the approved budget 🙂
