The result is a very smooth sounding, full range upgrade from the original 5C Sound Cubes. Listening tests reveal that the MixCubes have a smooth, more open, transparent top end response with extended bass while maintaining their basic original character.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eStudios primarily use 2-way \u0026amp; 3-way larger monitors designed to represent a wide range reference viewpoint at higher listening levels. However, in this newly developing age of High Definition Audio, there is still a need to also hear what your mix will sound like when played back over small “bass-challenged” systems such as televisions, clock radios, computers, car stereos, iPod docking stations, etc. It is important to make mixing judgments based partially on listening to reference monitors that will not impart tonal anomalies caused by crossovers or inferior full range drivers. Particular attention is always paid to the critical mid-range vocal\/guitar\/keyboard areas. This is where having a full-range monitor without a crossover is truly revealing.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eRecommended power rating is 50-200 watts of solid state power or 10-100 watts of tube power. It is advisable to use a high quality studio-grade power amplifier. The metal binding posts on the rear of the speaker can accept bare wire, spade lugs, or single or dual banana plugs. It is best to use 12 -16 AWG wire for runs longer than 6 feet.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhen positioning the Avantone MixCubes on stands or console bridges it is best to keep them at ear level and slightly angled in towards the engineer. Since they are shielded it is ok to place them near a CRT video monitor or TV without causing any problems. The bottom mic stand mounts will also allow you creative positioning options in unusual studio playback situations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Avantone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449834369127,"sku":"47364","price":299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/avatone-passive-mixcubes-black-1.jpg?v=1787090620","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/avantone-passive-mixcubes-black-pair","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
