Avantone MixCube Passive Mini-Reference Monitors (Pair) - Cream

About: Avantone MixCube Passive Mini-Reference Monitors (Pair) - Cream

We’ve all been there: the mix sounds perfect — tweaked to perfection. And then the moment you hear it in your car, you realize it sounds awful. How many times are you going to go back and forth before losing your mind?!

That’s exactly what Avantone Mixcubes are built to do: save your sanity. Mixcubes are designed to be a perfect stereo matching pair of monitors to replicate the wide range of “bass-challenged” devices such as car stereos, TVs, clock radios, computers, wireless speakers, etc.

Avantone Mixcubes are a bit of an upgrade from the classic studio cubes; from a newly engineered cabinet, to a more smooth, open, and transparent driver.

Mixcubes: the monitor for the most demanding workflow

A Reduced Electronic Path With a Precision Driver.

The original classic studio cubes are known for always doing the job, but we couldn’t just stop there. We designed a proprietary 5.25” die cast, polished aluminum frame driver/cone assembly to exceed the performance of the originals. 

The paper cone is custom designed & crafted using the finest New Zealand pulp with mica fibers added for lighter weight & rigidity. The cloth surround is made in Japan to exacting and uniform thickness. The Top Plate and T-Yoke of the 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. 

The Little Monitoring Solution You’ve Been Missing.

Avantone Mixcubes are built with a dense MDF board, due to it’s low-resonance characteristics. The input posts are high-end, nickel plated and are dual-banana spaced on an aluminum terminal plate. The bottom of the cabinet has a 7mm thick neoprene pad to serve as a skid-resistant acoustic isolator. 

Out of desk space to add more monitors to your rig? Maybe you need to set them up quickly, and on-location. Mixcubes have you covered: their base included a recessed, industry-standard 5/8”-27 mic stand mount. Just grab a spare mic stand, and you’re good to go!

Add that mounting capability with the cabinet’s internal-shielding, and you can expect low-noise issues anywhere you set them up. Mixcubes: the perfect solution to round-out your monitoring setup.
