Avantone Audio Active MixCubes - Gloss Black/Pair
Whether or not you believe the various apocryphal stories about a particularly notorious set of studio monitors and how they launched the widespread use of "bad-sounding" speakers in professional studios, their legacy lives on. The time-tested logic behind speakers like Avantone's MixCubes active studio monitors goes something like this: if your mix sounds good on these monitors, it will most likely translate everywhere. That's because MixCubes use the same kind of bass-deprived, full-range 5 1/4" speakers found in many car and hi-fi sound systems. Add to that a highly consistent and reference-quality flat amplifier and a gorgeous piano-wood enclosure, and you end up with a stylish set of monitors you can use to check out what your mix will sound like out in the real world. So, if you're sick of running out to your car every time you want to test your mix, it's time to add a pair of MixCubes to your rig.
