Avantone Mixcube Active Studio Monitor

The Avantone Mixcube Active is a compact, powered full-range studio monitor designed to reveal exactly how your mix will translate on small, bass-limited systems. From car stereos and TVs to laptops and wireless speakers, these little cubes expose midrange balance, vocal levels and instrument placement so you can fix problems in the studio before they ruin your mix in the real world.

Building on the legacy of the classic studio cube, the Mixcube Active adds a newly engineered cabinet, a refined full-range driver and a robust Class A/B power amp. The result is a focused, revealing monitor that slots effortlessly into any professional setup as a trusted secondary reference, helping you make faster decisions and more reliable mixes.

Unlike typical nearfields, Mixcubes are intentionally “bass-challenged” to mimic everyday playback systems. This makes them incredibly effective for checking vocal presence, guitar and synth levels, and the overall midrange “glue” of your track. If your mix sounds balanced and punchy on a Mixcube, it is far more likely to hold up everywhere else.

Avantone have gone to great lengths with materials and construction: a proprietary 5.25" cast aluminium driver with a custom New Zealand pulp cone, low-resonance 18mm MDF cabinet and carefully tuned internal stuffing all work together to deliver a smooth, open and transparent midrange. Add in the over-specified power amplifier and ultra-quiet noise floor, and you have a compact monitor that behaves like a serious piece of studio hardware.

Focused Real-World Translation

Mixcubes are voiced to replicate the kind of small, limited-range speakers your audience actually uses. By focusing on the critical 200 Hz to 10 kHz band, they make it easy to judge vocal intelligibility, midrange punch and overall balance. If you can get a mix feeling exciting and clear on these, you can be confident it will stand up on phones, TVs and car stereos.

Premium Full-Range Driver Design

The proprietary 5.25" driver uses a cast aluminium frame, custom paper cone with mica fibres and a high-power, low-distortion magnet structure. This precision engineering delivers a smooth, revealing response with excellent transient detail, so you can hear subtle EQ moves and compression changes without the hype or flattery of larger, more coloured monitors.

Over-Engineered Class A/B Power Amplifier

The built-in 60-watt Class A/B amplifier is designed from the ground up for professional use, with generous headroom, ultra-low distortion and a superb signal-to-noise ratio. This “no-compromise” approach means the speaker stays clean and controlled even at higher levels, letting you work longer without fatigue and trust what you are hearing.

Compact, Flexible and Easy to Place

A dense 18mm MDF cabinet with internal shielding, acoustic stuffing and a neoprene isolation pad keeps resonances and vibrations to a minimum. The recessed 5/8"-27 mic stand mount on the base makes it simple to position Mixcubes on spare mic stands in tight spaces or on location, while the combo XLR/TRS input integrates neatly into any studio or mobile rig.
