About This Listing

Description

Studios primarily use 2-way and 3-way large monitors designed to represent a wide range reference viewpoint at higher listening levels. However, in the newly developing age of High Definition Audio, there is still a need to hear what your mix will sound like when played back over small "bass-challenged" systems such as televisions, clock radios, computers, car stereos, ipod docking stations, etc. It is important to make mixing judgments based partially on listening to reference monitors that will not impart tonal anomalies caused by crossovers or inferior full range drivers. Particular attention is always paid to the critical mid-range vocal/guitar/keyboard areas. This is where having a full-range monitor without a crossover is truly revealing.More than twelve months of R&D, comparative listening and tweaking went into the voicing of the Avantone MixCubes. The result is a very smooth sounding, full range upgrade from those old familiar 5C Sound Cubes engineers were so fond of in the 1980's-1990's. Listening tests reveal that the Mix Cubes have a smoother midrange, more accurate, transparent top end response with extended bass while maintaining the basic characteristics of those original little cubes.

Product Overview
The Avantone Active MixCubes are powered mini monitors, quite similar in design to the classic Auratone 5C Sound Cubes. Sure, it's important to have a high fidelity set of main studio monitors...but in today's world of people listening to music on bass-challenged ear buds and laptop speakers, occasionally referencing on a smaller system is crucial -- and the MixCubes are the perfect tool for this particular job. Grab a set for stereo, or just one for checking mono compatibility and finding the perfect spot for the lead vocal.
