Avantone Active MixCubes

• 

 

Shielded, full-range studio mini-reference monitors. Their design is inspired by the legacy of the 5C Sound Cubes used in virtually all-major studios for the last 25 years.

Mixcubes Engineering Objective

To build a full range, rugged, mini-reference monitor to replace the older, aging, 5C Sound Cubes that are still in use worldwide, while offering an improved, more linear frequency response. A full year was spent studying all versions & revisions of the famous little 5C Sound Cubes. Research revealed that there were several driver versions released over the years with widely varying frequency response characteristics.

Avant Electronics chose the smoothest, most linear, full-range version of those 5C models to use as our testing benchmark. Next they analyzed their response characteristics in an anechoic chamber and proceeded to implement design upgrades.

Realizing the importance of replacing a respected "industry-standard reference monitor" they began by replicating its basic size, function and sonic character as they wanted to take it up a notch.
