Customer reviews about Avantone MixCubes Active Black Single

Excellent for Reference

Leeroy Jenkins 30.12.2019

I use this product as a reference monitor, I only have one and use it in Mono to check the mid-range of my mixes. These would not be suitable as your only monitors, but when used to check mixes they are incredible at highlighting mid-range issues, vocal and reverb levels and how the bass will translate on smaller systems. For the purpose of referencing these are literally incredible. They are the classic 'bad' speaker check that makes you work really hard to get a good sound. However, once I earned the idiosyncrasies of the mix cubes and got my mixes sounding clean and clear on them, the translation to different systems was solid. An incredibly useful tool when used in the right way. I am so happy with my purchase.

Whether you need 2 little speakers for your laptop producer's desk, or you need a good single speaker to monitor Mono in your studio, the Mixcube is the 2Go product. Hands Down.

Delighted!

AlexLeonard 01.06.2015

As a mono reference speaker this little cube is absolutely perfect. At first the immediate thought is that it doesn't sound sound as good as my main monitor speakers, but after some usage and listening I found the benefits were huge. It made such a difference to my recent album mixdown and exposed lots of problem areas.

Does what it's supposed to.

MartinTs 13.11.2019

I have 1 of these as a mono/"real-world" check and it does just that, cutting the very lows and very highs helps to get a better idea of what's happening in the arguably "most important" part of the mix. Every now and then I miss having a second one, so consider carefully if you need only one or two.

Give this 'Grot-Box' time before you judge it!!

Barnaby 21.10.2025

Goodness, when you first plug this in and hear some music, it just sounds terrible! That was quite a shock to me. But that is missing the point, it's not supposed to sound great. The manual suggests running it in for 1-3 days and so far I have run it in for about 18 hours and it has improved.
I reckon the challenge now is to understand how to use it, and the manual suggests 3 main areas to focus on.
It is clearly well made, very compact, and comes with one of the most imposing in-line power supplies ever.
Also suggest reading the review in Sound On Sound June 2010

Focuses on the meat & potatoes

Guðmundur 25.10.2018

Got myself one unit, I throw a S1 Imager on the master chain.

It really helps me combat ear fatigue.
No unwanted filtering, resonance, rattling or distortion.

Really enjoy the process of getting to know this unit better.

Perfect for checking mono compatibility and understanding mid-range frequencies in your mix!

andris_rinkis 19.12.2019

Have 1pcs, use it in mono - for phase issues detecting, mono compatibility and its great for using in mixing and mastering as it will reveal details which you cannot hear on normal 2-way monitors... Its professional product for serious use in mixing and mastering. If your mix sounds good and precise in mono on that speaker - it will sound great on any audio system for sure! Very recommend!
