Avantone MixCubes Active Black 4-stars Reviews

Nice tool

Proper and nice tool for low-quality audio-check, it's a must have in studio. It will boost the mid range, cutting off the low-end and the high range to give you a better perception of how your mix might sound on TV, portable radio-speakers, low-budget car's speakers, etc. I suggest a break-in time.

Does what it says on the tin

As monitors, these are terrible: No bass, no treble, all mid and even that's a bit fuzzy. However, as *comparisons* next to you main monitors, these are brilliant. Ever wondered what your track would sound like on a mono radio? Use these. Wonder whether you can still make out the lyrics when someone sets your track as their ringtone? Use these. Is your vocal too loud/quiet? Use these to check, then compare back with your main monitors.

The build quality is excellent, though the power supply is a little unusual. They're a lot bigger than you expect too.

In all, I'm really please with these. I used then in conjunction with a pair of ADAM A7x midfields, and have noticed my mixes improve significantly.
