An air vent assembly includes an air inlet, an air outlet, and two or more channels that are positioned between the air inlet and the air outlet. The air vent assembly also includes moveable vanes that are interconnected to an actuator that is configured to move each of the moveable vanes in unison. The vanes may be positioned in the channels or upstream of the channels. The air vent assembly also includes a valve that is positioned between the air inlet and the vanes, and which is configured to selectively increase or decrease air flow to at least one of the channels when moved. Optionally, the vanes may be positioned at least partially behind a fixed divider so that they are not typically visible via the air outlet.
