Avantone Mixcube Active Monitors Single, Red

Crafted as shielded, active mini-reference studio monitors, the Avantone Active MixCubes draw inspiration from the renowned 5C Sound Cubes that have graced virtually every major studio for a quarter-century.

These monitors are meticulously engineered to offer high-resolution, full-range sound reproduction in both fixed and remote setups. Furthermore, a parallel goal in the design process was to create a timeless aesthetic that perfectly complements the single full-range transducer at their core.

In the realm of recording studios, the norm involves the use of 2-way and 3-way large monitors meticulously designed to provide an expansive reference perspective at elevated listening volumes. However, even as we embrace the burgeoning era of High Definition Audio, there remains an essential requirement: understanding how your mix will translate when played through compact audio systems that grapple with limited bass capabilities. Think of devices like televisions, clock radios, computers, car stereos, iPod docking stations, and the like.

It becomes imperative to base your mixing judgments on the ability to listen through reference monitors that don't introduce any tonal irregularities stemming from crossovers or subpar full-range drivers. Our particular focus lies in the crucial mid-range frequencies encompassing vocals, guitars, and keyboards. This is where the value of a full-range monitor without a crossover truly shines, offering a revealing glimpse into the heart of your audio creation.

The paper cone, selected for its distinctive musical qualities, underwent a custom design process that combined cutting-edge FEA modeling with traditional craftsmanship in speaker design. To create this exceptional cone, the finest New Zealand pulp material was skillfully blended with mica fibers, enhancing both its rigidity and long-term durability. The cloth surround material, meticulously crafted in Japan, possesses distinct damping properties that ensure consistent compliance throughout the driver's lifespan.

The motor structure comprises certified 1008 low carbon steel sourced from Sumitomo, while the magnets used are of Y-40 GRADE (MIL-SPEC) quality, delivering a robust 43oz. motor structure that excels in both high power handling and low distortion. Adding to this, our exclusive 5.25" die-cast aluminum frame provides solid support for the driver/cone, effectively reducing mechanical transfer. To top it off, the outer surface of the aluminum frame is polished, lending it an elegant and refined appearance.
