The Avantone Mixcube Passive Studio Monitors are a pair of high-quality compact monitors that deliver reference-grade audio ideal for mixing and mastering applications. The Avantone Mixcubes feature a wide frequency range (90Hz – 17kHz) the ideal musical range when it comes to referencing most popular music styles. This lets you hear every subtlety that other speakers or monitors may miss. The built-in 60W (RMS) class A/B amplifier helps to drive the monitors delivering exceptional power and audio fidelity in a compact and robust enclosure.
Compact Robust Design The full range rugged mini-reference monitors feature a cabinet design made from dense MDF for high rigidity and inherent low-resonance characteristics finished with a “retro-cream” Polyurethane high gloss. The Mixcubes also feature high-end nickel plated machined solid metal binding posts (Dual banana spacing) mounted on a black anodized milled and silk-screened aluminum terminal plate. On the base of each Mixcube there is a 7mm thick neoprene pad to serve as a skid-resistant acoustic isolator. Additionally for creative mounting situations an industry standard 5/8″-27 mic stand mount is fitted into the base. Driver Performance The 5.25″ die cast aluminum frame driver/cone assembly exceeds the performance of the original 5C Sound Cubes. The mounting bezel is then polished for an elegant appearance. The custom designed paper cone is chosen for its musical character and is crafted using the finest New Zealand pulp with mica fibers making it sturdy yet lightweight. The cloth surround is made in Japan to exacting uniform thickness tolerances. The Top Plate and T-Yoke of driver are made of Sumitomo 1008 low carbon steel enabling the highest modeled flux density in the gap. The magnets are Y- 40 GRADE (MIL-SPEC) yielding a 43oz. High Power-low distortion motor structure. Versatile Positioning The shielded aspect of the Avantone Passive Mixcubes means that they can be placed near a TV or CRT video monitor without causing any problems due to interference. The ideal position for these studio monitors is for them to be kept at ear level and slightly angled towards the engineer. The bottom mic stand mounts will also allow you creative positioning options in unusual studio playback situations. Amplification and Wiring Recommended power rating is 50-200 watts of solid state power or 10-100 watts of tube power. It is advisable to use a high quality studio-grade power amplifier. The metal binding posts on the rear of the speaker can accept bare wire spade lugs or single or dual banana plugs. It is best to use 12 -16 AWG wire for runs longer than 6 feet. Enjoy a smooth transparent top end response and extended bass with the Avantone Mixcubes. This ensures you hear every nuance of the audio as it was intended which is paramount for mixing and mastering applications. The premium-quality components and robust enclosure ensure optimal audio quality as well as standing the test of time.
