Avantone MixCubes Active Black (pair) are full-range active monitors. Studios primarily use 2- and 3-way monitors designed to provide a full-range reference at higher listening levels. However, in this new era of high-definition audio, there is still a need to hear how your mix will sound when played on small systems such as televisions, radios, computers, car stereos, iPods, etc.
It is important to make mixing decisions based in part on listening to reference monitors that will not reproduce tonal anomalies caused by crossovers or inferior full-range drivers. Special attention is always paid to the critical areas of vocals / guitar / mid-range keyboards. This is where having a full-range monitor without a crossover is truly revealing. Listening tests reveal that the MixCubes have a smooth, transparent response with extended low end, while maintaining their basic original character.
