Avantone Pro MixCube Active Mini-Reference Monitors (Pair, Retro-Cream)

Accurate Midrange Referencing for Professional Mixing
The Avantone Pro MixCube Active Mini-Reference Monitors provide an essential tool for audio engineers who need accurate midrange monitoring in a compact and reliable package. Designed to replicate the sound of consumer playback systems like laptops, televisions, and small speakers, these monitors allow you to make critical mix decisions that ensure your music translates across all listening environments. With a frequency response of 90 Hz to 17 kHz, they focus on the most crucial midrange frequencies, helping to refine vocal clarity, instrument separation, and overall mix balance.

Ideal for Checking Mixes on Small-Format Playback Systems
While most studios rely on large 2-way or 3-way monitors for full-spectrum sound, the MixCubes are designed to complement these systems by focusing on the midrange. This is crucial in the modern production landscape, where music is consumed on a variety of speakers, from smartphones to car stereos. By using the MixCubes, you can hear how your mix translates to bass-limited devices, ensuring a well-balanced and consistent listening experience for all audiences.

Powerful 60W Amplifier for Precise Sound Reproduction
Each MixCube features a built-in 60W RMS Class A/B amplifier, providing clean and accurate power to the 5.25" full-range driver. This design ensures minimal distortion while delivering a smooth, transparent top-end response and extended bass. The MDF cabinet construction reduces unwanted resonance, enhancing the natural tonality and detailed soundstage. The result is an honest, uncolored representation of your mix that allows you to make precise adjustments with confidence.

Versatile Connectivity with Combo XLR and 1/4" Input
For seamless integration into any studio setup, the MixCubes offer a combo XLR input that accepts both balanced and unbalanced signals. Whether you're connecting via an XLR cable, a balanced TRS 1/4" plug, or an unbalanced TS 1/4" connector, the input automatically adapts to your signal type. This flexibility ensures compatibility with a wide range of audio interfaces, mixers, and studio equipment.

Customizable Gain Control for Optimal Performance
A variable gain control allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the input signal, ranging from -30 dB to +6 dB. This fine-tuning capability ensures that your monitors perform optimally in different studio environments, letting you set the perfect level for precise monitoring. Whether you need a quieter, more detailed listening experience or full-strength signal output, the gain control provides the necessary flexibility.

Independent Power Supply with Long Cables for Easy Placement
Each MixCube is powered by its own external power supply, which connects to the speaker via a 10' (3m) cloth multi-pin cable. This setup allows for clean power delivery while keeping noise interference to a minimum. Additionally, a 10' (3m) AC cable is included, giving you the freedom to position your monitors where they work best in your studio. The bottom of each MixCube also features a 5/8"-27 threaded mic stand fitting, allowing for creative mounting options in unconventional monitoring setups.

Ground Lift Switch for Reducing Unwanted Noise
To eliminate ground loop issues and potential hum, the MixCubes feature a ground lift switch. By disengaging the pin 1 shield at the input jack, this function helps maintain a clean and noise-free signal path. This is especially useful in complex studio setups where multiple power sources and connections can introduce interference.
