The Avantone MixCubes Passive Mini-Reference Monitor give engineers a revealing alternate perspective on a mix, helping expose balance problems that can hide on full-range studio monitors. This version features a traditional cream finish.
This compact passive reference monitor focus attention on the critical midrange and emulate the limited-bandwidth playback systems your music encounters in the real world, including car stereos, televisions, computers, wireless speakers, and other everyday listening devices. When a mix holds together on MixCubes, you can feel much more confident about how it will translate outside the studio. Designed as a modern evolution of the classic single-driver studio cube, the MixCubes Passive use a proprietary 5.25-inch driver housed in a dense, sealed MDF enclosure. The custom paper cone incorporates New Zealand pulp and mica fibers for a lightweight, rigid structure, while the cast aluminum frame and carefully engineered motor assembly are designed for smooth, open, and controlled reproduction. With no crossover network between the amplifier and full-range driver, the MixCubes provide a direct monitoring path that keeps the spotlight firmly on the frequencies where vocals, guitars, keyboards, and many other essential mix elements live. The compact 6.5-inch cube cabinets are easy to integrate alongside your primary studio monitors, while a 7mm neoprene base helps provide isolation and prevent movement on a desktop or meter bridge. A recessed 5/8"-27 mic stand mount also provides flexible placement when desktop space is limited. Because these are passive monitors, they require an external power amplifier, giving engineers the freedom to integrate the MixCubes into an existing monitoring system with the amplifier of their choice.

wow!
May 25th 2012Couldn't be happier with this purchase! I'm using a single mix cube in mono at the center of my listening position. It makes a great secondary reference to break the brutal monotony of listening to the same speakers for hours on a long mix. It also has good qualities for balancing that makes life easier for getting stuff like vocal and bass levels right. It also acts as a mono compatibility check automatically, which isn't much of a concern to me but nice to know anyway. Listening in mono can be more revealing than a stereo pair due to less comb filtering. The thing sounds neat too. It's not a beautiful huge sound, it's tiny sounding, but it just seems "honest." Highly recommended
