The Avantone Active MixCubes are shielded full-range studio mini-reference monitors. Their design is inspired by the legacy of the 5C Sound Cubes used in virtually all-major studios for the last 25 years.The Avantone Active Mixcubes are designed to be high-resolution full-range powered mini-reference monitors for fixed or remote locations. The secondary engineering facet was to create a timeless design that complements a single full-range transducer.
Crisp Audio The Avantone Mixcube Active Studio Monitor is constructed from thick MDF board to provide a high-rigidity low-resonance cabinet. The 5.25″ LF Driver produces a crisp punchy sound from such a compact sized monitor. With a frequency response of 90 Hz – 17 kHz the Avantone Mixcube Active Studio Monitor can handle a wide range of audio. Magnetic Shielding This full-range mini reference monitor is also magnetically shielded which means you can place them in the ideal location on your desk without the risk of interference. With the Avantone Mixcube Active Studio Monitor you can hear what your mix sounds like when played back over small “bass-challenged” systems such as televisions clock radios computers car stereos. REAR PANEL CONTROLS/CONNECTIONS BALANCED INPUT: This “combo XLR” input accepts a BALANCED male XLR plug as well as a 3-conductor BALANCED TRS 1/4″ or a 2 conductor UNBALANCED TS 1/4″ male plug. For unbalanced operation with a TS connector the minus signal is automatically grounded. SYSTEM GAIN: This variable control adjusts the sensitivity of the signal that appears at the input. Rotating the control clockwise increases the sensitivity while a counter-clockwise rotation decreases sensitivity. The adjustable gain range is from -30 to +6 dB. A setting of +6 allows a full unimpeded signal to be sent to the amplifier. The detented gain positions allow for repeatable settings between speakers for proper matching. Please Note: when the signal appearing at the input is too hot the amplifier can overload causing distortion and possible damage to the speaker. If overload occurs attenuate (decrease) the input level by turning the knob counter-clockwise a few clicks. ON/OFF Switch: This illuminated switch turns the amplifier section on and off. The unit is still receiving power from the transformer however. AC INPUT: This input is only to be use with the proprietary AVANTONE Power Supply. Tighten the cable/connector securely for reliable operation. Note: There is a switch on the power supply for selecting the proper AC/MAINS operating voltage for your location. GROUND LIFT Switch: By engaging this switch the pin 1 shield is lifted at the input jack. This can be used to aid in ground loop control of the incoming analog line signal. **PLACEMENT:*** When positioning the AVANTONE MixCubes on stands or console bridges it is best to keep them at ear level and slightly angled in towards the engineer. Since they are shielded it is ok to place them near a CRT video monitor or TV without causing any problems. The bottom mic stand mounts will also allow you creative positioning options in unusual studio playback situations.
