Description

In a world filled with bass-heavy devices, the Avantone Pro MixCube Active Powered Studio Monitors stand out as a beacon of clarity and precision. Inspired by the legendary Auratone 5C Sound Cubes, these compact yet mighty monitors are designed to faithfully recreate the limited frequency response of typical consumer equipment. This ensures your mix translates perfectly across all listening environments, from car stereos to smartphone speakers. The MixCube Active isn’t just about nostalgia; it's about modern performance. The proprietary 5.25-inch driver, crafted with top-grade New Zealand pulp and mica fibers, delivers a transparent sound with minimal coloration, ideal for critical mid-range frequencies.

The robust amplifier and cabinet construction take this studio monitor to the next level. The high-end amp module provides impressive headroom typically found in larger, high-end rackmount systems, ensuring that even the smallest detail in your mix is preserved. Built with dense medium-density fiberboard, the MixCube Active minimizes unwanted resonance while offering flexibility in placement with its 5/8-inch mic stand mount. Whether you're balancing vocals or fine-tuning guitar tracks, the MixCube Active is your go-to tool for achieving the perfect mix in any setting.

Key Features:

  • Proprietary 5.25-inch die-cast aluminum frame driver for studio-level sound
  • Custom-designed paper cone made from New Zealand pulp with mica fibers
  • High-power, low-distortion motor structure with MIL-Spec magnets
  • No-compromise amplifier offering robust headroom
  • Dense MDF cabinet with skid-resistant neoprene pad
  • Nickel-plated input posts and versatile mounting options
  • Internal shielding for low-noise operation

Critic Reviews

Avantone Active MixCube

soundonsound.com

Avantone Pro MixCube Active Monitors are a modern twist on the classic Auratone 5C, praised for their exceptional mix balance capabilities. While maintaining the mid-range focus critical for mix translation across systems, they offer improved build quality and less distortion, making them ideal for critical balance tasks. However, these enhancements sacrifice their lo-fi reference utility, making them less representative of real-world consumer audio. Despite this, for serious mix engineers, the MixCubes are a standout choice, offering a smoother, cleaner sound than their predecessors.

Avantone Pro Active MixCube Review - TapeOp Magazine | Tape Op Magazine

tapeop.com

The Avantone Pro MixCube Active Monitors shine with improved clarity, midrange focus, and tighter low-end, making them a definitive upgrade from their predecessors. The overhaul in amplifier design and cabinet reshaping results in a sound that emphasizes critical midrange elements, crucial for mixing accuracy. The added convenience of an external gain pot further enhances their usability, especially in varied studio environments. While they may have a steep price tag, their performance and reliability in replicating the detail and balance of mixes on smaller systems justify the investment. With their stylish design and enhanced functionality, these monitors are a solid choice for those serious about refining their audio production.
