Manufacturer's Description

Avantone Pro Mixcube Active Mini-Reference Monitor Speaker (Pair), Red

The most revered safety-net monitors — Now powered.

We’ve all been there: the mix sounds perfect — tweaked to perfection. And then the moment you hear it in your car, you realize it sounds awful. How many times are you going to go back and forth before loosing your mind?!

That’s exactly what Mixcubes are built to do: save your sanity. Mixcubes are designed to be a perfect stereo matching pair of monitors to replicate the wide range of “bass-challenged” devices such as car stereos, TVs, clock radios, computers, Bluetooth devices, etc.

Avantone Mixcube Actives are a huge upgrade from the original 5C Sound Cubes; from a newly engineered cabinet, to a more smooth, open, and transparent driver — and now with an over-engineered power amplifier. The bass response has been extended ever so slightly as well, but the original character has been maintained.

Mixcube Actives: the monitor for the most demanding workflow.

A reduced electronic path with a precision driver.

The original 5C Sound Cubes are known for always doing the job, but we couldn’t just stop there. We designed a proprietary 5.25” die cast, polished aluminum frame driver/cone assembly to exceed the performance of the originals.

The paper cone is custom designed & crafted using the finest New Zealand pulp with mica fibers added for lighter weight & rigidity. The cloth surround is made in Japan to exacting and uniform thickness. The Top Plate and T-Yoke of the driver are made of Sumitomo 1008 low-carbon steel, enabling the highest modeled flux density in the gap. The magnets are Y- 40 GRADE (MIL-SPEC) yielding a 43oz. high-power, low-distortion motor structure.

The little monitoring solution you’ve been missing.

We designed the amp module from the ground up to be a true professional-grade amplifier. It incorporates “overkill” concepts in component selection as well as safety. The result is a “no-compromise” amp with robust headroom characteristics that will rival the performance of much higher priced studio rack mount amps.

Avantone Mixcube Actives are built with a dense MDF board, due to it’s low-resonance characteristics. The input posts are high-end, nickel plated and are dual-banana spaced on an aluminum terminal plate. The bottom of the cabinet has a 7mm thick neoprene pad to serve as a skid-resistant acoustic isolator.

Out of desk space to add more monitors to your rig? Maybe you need to set them up quickly, and on-location. Mixcubes have you covered: their base included a recessed, industry-standard 5/8”-27 mic stand mount. Just grab a spare mic stand, and you’re good to go!

Add that mounting capability with the cabinet’s internal-shielding, and you can expect low-noise issues anywhere you set them up. Mixcube Actives: the perfect solution to round-out your monitoring setup.

IK Multimedia ARC Studio Advanced Room Correction Microphone System for Monitor Speakers

High-definition monitoring for all…

There’s a reason all today’s highest-end studio monitors are adding active room correction – it supercharges their performance and ensures mixes translate flawlessly.

ARC Studio offers this same massive boost in performance and accuracy to every monitor in every studio.

Overview

  • Measurement mic, room analysis software and correction processor all in one
  • Dramatically improves your mixing accuracy with any monitors in any room
  • Installs in minutes in any studio
  • Sonically invisible, audiophile performance
  • Emulates top monitors and playback systems

Dramatically improve your mixing accuracy

Your room has a big impact on how you hear your music. The size, shape, materials, and furniture all work to distort the frequency and stereo balance of your monitors, degrading your sound.

ARC Studio analyzes and corrects these issues in minutes. Your music snaps into focus, with more controlled low-end, tighter transients and pinpoint stereo imaging. It’s like an instant upgrade to your monitors. And when you can trust what you hear, you’ll mix faster and more confidently than ever.

Installs in minutes

ARC Studio combines the new ARC 4 measurement software, room analysis microphone and stand-alone correction processor.

Plug the mic into your interface and you’ll be guided through measuring acoustical spots within your listening position. IK’s award-winning ARC technology uses this 3D snapshot to identify and completely correct all the problematic issues degrading your monitors’ performance.

This correction profile is loaded into the ARC Studio processor, sitting invisibly between your interface and monitors to apply to all incoming signals. Acoustic issues disappear, unleashing your monitors' true performance.

Correct every studio

For pro studios, whether in-the-box or console-based, ARC Studio allows for a sonically transparent correction and custom-tuning for any monitoring setup from nearfields to mains, preserving the inherent system’s sonic quality.

And for DAW-based studios, ARC Studio frees you from the hassle of inserting plug-ins on the master bus of your work and preserves zero-latency monitoring setups, plus allows you to listen to your preferred streaming service with acoustically corrected monitoring without messing around with system drivers.

You can create a profile for every configuration, listening position or even monitor pair. Whether you’re in a makeshift studio or a world-class one, fine-tuning your monitoring to your taste has never been easier and has never sounded so good.

Includes monitor emulations

ARC Studio also includes a monitor emulation function that turns your monitor system into iconic studio monitors and popular hi-fi speakers and mobile devices, with breathtakingly true-to-life results by accurately reproducing the frequency and phase response of the originals.

With over 20 profiles included, a single pair of monitors now lets you test your mix on different reference systems quickly, without ever having to head to your car!
