Description

Essential Information About the Avantone MixCube Active Red Compact Reference Monitor

  • "Reference" translation: a mini format to check your mixes as on small systems with low bass levels (TV, computer, car stereo, portable speaker).
  • Full-range without crossover: a single driver for ultra-clear playback of the midrange (vocals, guitars, keyboards), without filtering artifacts.
  • More open and smoother sound: a modern evolution of the "Sound Cube" concept with a more transparent high end and better extended bass, while maintaining the original character.
  • Active version ready to perform: built-in amplification, XLR and 6.3 mm TRS jack inputs, magnetic shielding, and ideal format for both fixed setups and mobile rigs.

A Studio Classic Revisited: The Spirit of the "Cubes" in High-Resolution Version

Studios often rely on large 2- or 3-way monitors to work at comfortable listening levels, but a solid mix must also "hold up" on compact systems. This is exactly the role of the MixCube: to provide a reference listening focused on the critical areas of the spectrum, especially the midrange, where intelligibility and musical balance are determined. After extensive comparative listening and optimization, this generation of MixCubes offers a smoother, more open, and more transparent high-frequency reproduction, with more present bass, while respecting the signature that made this format successful.

For Whom and For What: The Control Tool That Secures Your Mixing Decisions

The Avantone MixCube Active is aimed at sound engineers, producers, home studio creators, and audio editors who want a reliable second opinion alongside their main speakers. It excels at validating the voice/instrument balance, the placement of the snare drum, the perceived bass clarity (more than the measured bass), and overall coherence at moderate volume. Simply put: if your mix sounds right on a MixCube, it is very likely to translate well everywhere.

Design and Innovations: Focus on Midrange Neutrality, Reliability, and Simplicity

5.25-inch Full-Range Driver: The Truth of the Mix Without Filters

The choice of a full-range driver is at the heart of the concept: no crossover, therefore no tonal anomalies caused by filtering between multiple speakers. The result: a very direct reading of the core of the mix, particularly useful for adjusting levels, equalization, and dynamics of the most sensitive elements (vocals, guitars, pianos, synths).

Sealed MDF Enclosure: Rigidity, Low Resonance, Better Clarity

Compared to the historical cubes built with lighter panels, the MixCube uses a thicker and denser MDF to gain rigidity and limit resonances. The sealed cube format (165 mm) promotes a fast response and excellent transient reproduction, with a glossy "retro" style finish and a neoprene pad integrated under the speaker to improve stability and isolation.

"Pro" Designed Amplification: Headroom and Reliability

The amplification module has been designed as a true studio amplifier, with carefully selected components and protections sized to withstand sessions. The goal: robust headroom and reliable daily listening, whether in a fixed studio, mobile control room, or editing suite.

Connectivity and Studio Integration

The MixCube Active easily integrates with an audio interface, console, or monitor controller via its balanced XLR inputs and 6.3 mm TRS jack. The magnetic shielding facilitates installation near other equipment, and the base includes a standard 5/8 inch-27 mount for creative mounting on microphone stands.
