General

The Avantone Active MixCubes set consists of two active reference studio monitors, which have a familiar shape - their design is inspired by the renowned 5C Sound Cubes by Auratone. These Auratone reference speakers can be found in many a studio, but are no longer produced. The Avantone Active MixCubes are worthy replacements, and for checking whether your mix holds its own when it's played back on smaller systems like TVs, radio clocks, computers, car stereos and iPod docking stations.

Full-Range Principle

In nearly any studio, you'll find 2-way and 3-way monitors for accurate referencing at high quality. However, you also need to know how your mix sounds when it's played on smaller systems. Small systems require a mix without tonal deviations, which might be caused by crossovers or inferior full-range drivers. Listening tests have shown that the MixCubes produce a flat, open and transparent high frequency range and response with an extensive bass, while they retain their original sonic character.

Connecting

These active versions of the MixCubes feature a built-in amplifier. Connect the monitors to your audio setup via an XLR/Jack combo input at the rear. To save space and minimise the influence of ambient noises from the power adapter, the MixCubes each have their own power supply.

Wat een leuke dingen ik had ze eerst in mijn huisje gezet nou huisje villa.

Ze klonken zo goed ik heb er een stuk of 80 gehaald voor op de golfbaan wat een top geluid joh helemaal geweldig zeker een aanrader voor de golfclub en de snelle levering was ook weer zoals verwacht 14 vrachtwagens kwamen voorrijden echt de moeite waard.

Met vriendelijke groet norbert puch.

Dit is een standaardspeaker voor in de professionele geluidsstudio. Let op: niet omdat ze zo goed klinken, maar juist vanwege de matige klank. Dit is ideaal voor het tussentijds checken hoe je muziekmixen vertalen naar hifi systemen. Ter controle dus van de levels van de instrumenten en zang, en of de kickdrum voldoende hoge informatie heeft om door te komen op speakers zonder subwoofer. EQ beslissingen e.d. zou ik eerder nemen op speakers met een gedetailleerder geluid. Als losse speaker geschikt voor het controleren van het monosignaal. Omdat hij maar één geluids output heeft heb je nooit faseproblemen met de speaker zelf. Ze hebben bij ingebruikname zo'n 20 uur nodig om tot de juiste frequency en transient response te komen.
