What you need to know
- True full-range without crossover: a single speaker to judge the midrange (vocals, guitars, keyboards) with direct playback and no filtering artifacts.
- "Small system" translation: ideal for checking the mix balance as it will sound on TVs, computers, car stereos, compact speakers, and docking stations.
- Modern evolution of the 5C concept: a more open high end, a more transparent rendering, and extended bass while retaining the classic "cube" reference character.
- Active version ready to work: built-in 60 W amplification, XLR and 6.3 mm TRS jack inputs, compact format easy to place on a desk or as a secondary monitor.

A classic control monitor revisited for the high-definition audio era
In most studios, the main monitors are 2-way or 3-way speakers designed for comfortable listening levels and a wide soundstage. But a mix doesn't live only on "hi-fi" speakers: it must remain clear on compact systems, often bass-poor and mid-focused. This is precisely the DNA of the active MixCube: offering a deliberately different perspective, extremely useful for validating balance, density, and intelligibility decisions.
Avantone has pushed the historic "cube" reference concept toward a more current interpretation: tuning, comparative listening, and adjustments have resulted in a smoother and more open high-frequency response, with a sense of bass extension, while staying true to what makes this type of speaker interesting: a straightforward midrange that immediately reveals excesses or deficiencies in the mix.
Who is it for and what studio uses?
The Avantone MixCube Active is aimed at sound engineers, producers, beatmakers, and content creators who want a complementary control listening to their main monitoring. It's the perfect tool to quickly check if a vocal remains understandable at low levels, if the snare cuts through without being harsh, if the bass is clear without relying on a subwoofer, or if an arrangement is too crowded in the center.
It also integrates very well into a "reference" workflow: main listening for stereo image and extension, then switching to the MixCube to validate the core of the mix. In post-production, it helps secure dialogue intelligibility and the placement of essential elements, especially for broadcasts on screens and built-in speakers.
