Customer Review Summary
Avantone MixCubes black are an excellent choice for DJs and studio work, particularly for monitoring mid-range frequencies. These speakers deliver impressive pressure in the mid frequencies, making them a valuable asset for anyone who spends long hours working with sound.
However, there is a notable issue regarding their mounting options. While they are easy to set up for those who simply want to place them on a surface, the advertised “threaded socket” on the bottom is far from standard. This incompatibility with typical microphone stands can be frustrating, as standard screws do not fit. A workaround involves carefully cutting the foam padding to fit a universal mounting collar, allowing for proper elevation using standard studio mounting equipment.
The overall build quality is commendable, featuring a sleek piano finish and sturdy cable clamps. When tested with around 100 watts, the feedback from DJs has been overwhelmingly positive. These speakers are crucial for mid-frequency monitoring, and many users have expressed disbelief at how they managed without them before the purchase. They are also versatile enough for various applications, including sound installations and live performances, where they effectively handle guitar mixes and enhance bass projection without colouring the sound.
In summary, the Avantone MixCubes black are stylish, reliable, and provide clear mid-range monitoring, despite some mounting limitations.
