A Mini Monitoring Marvel for Accurate Mixes!
The AVANTONE MixCubes mini reference monitors give you the ability to hear what your mixes will sound like on bass-challenged real-world systems such as computers, televisions, car stereos, and iPod docking stations. These full-range, active MixCubes are 6-1/2" tall, and each contains a 5-1/4" speaker that provides excellent sound reproduction for great reference mixing. The cabinets are shielded, so you can place them next to computer monitors. For making high-quality, accurate mixes that sound great on any system, use the MixCubes to complete your monitor setup!

AVANTONE MixCubes Active Mini Reference Monitors at a Glance:

Active design
Realistic Sound

Active design
These MixCubes are active, meaning they have their own 40-watt amplifier built in, so they don't draw power from your computer.

Realistic sound
Mini reference monitors, like the MixCubes give you an idea of what your mix will sound like in real-world listening situations - like stock TV and computer speakers, and basic car stereos, and earbuds. If you want to create a professional-sounding mix that will translate everywhere, you've got to give it the real-world test. These MixCubes are an excellent (and stylish!) set of B speakers designed to tell you the truth about where your vocals, and bass truly sit in the mix.

Customer Reviews

Better than the originals
by Steve Hardy from Los Angeles, CA, May 16, 2008
Music Background: Mixing Engineer

“Having used Auratones for years in studios, I knew what these should sound like. I was not disappointed. After a generous break in period, these have become an invaluable reference in my personal studio.

There is a ground hum issue (very low buzz not noticeable in most rooms) with these and I have heard from other people that theirs hum as well but its an easy fix.

Sweetwater Expert Advice

		"Get a clue as to how many of your mixes are going to sound on bass-deficient systems such as radios, car stereos, and boom box speakers. The Active MixCubes help you figure out how your mix is going to translate to a wide variety of sources. " Matt Emick
		"Some of the most incredible studio solutions are a perfect combination of new and old technologies. The Avantone Active MixCubes give you the full-range monitoring qualities that were once a studio standard, but in an active box with great shielding, acoutsic isolation, flexible mouting options, and a ton of small details that make the difference. There's no magic to using these speakers, but they can make all the difference between a great mix and an average one!" Art Hill
