Customer Review Summary
Avantone MixCubes Active
With their robust construction and appealing aesthetic, they not only look great but also feel durable. They are designed primarily for mix verification rather than casual listening, making them ideal for checking how your work translates on lower-end systems. The single driver design helps avoid crossover problems and ensures consistent sound quality, even if you’re not in the perfect listening position.
While they are known to emphasise mid and high frequencies, they do lack in the low-end department, which is something to consider. Many users find that this limited frequency response serves a purpose; it can help to ensure mixes sound good across various playback systems, from car speakers to headphones.
Some users have reported issues with ground loop noise, which has been a concern in earlier batches; however, these problems seem to have been largely addressed in newer models. Overall, the Avantone MixCubes are highly regarded as a reliable tool for mixing and are recommended for anyone who spends long hours in the studio.
In summary, these monitors might sound ‘bad’ on purpose, but they provide an invaluable service in helping to refine mixes, making them a worthwhile investment for serious audio professionals.
