Review: My Years-Long Struggle Is At An End - First of all, if you know what this is and you're doing research to try to decide if you should buy this, the answer is yes, buy it now! I built a studio in my basement four years ago. I spent a lot of time and other stuff on effective sound treatment, equipment, etc. I also bought a few pairs of monitors. The first were KRK Rokit 5 1st gen. I didn't know squat about monitoring and figured those would be good enough. They weren't. I couldn't get anything to translate well without a lot of CD burning and playing around the house, car, etc. When I did manage to get a song right I couldn't ever pinpoint what I'd done so that I could do it again on another song. Each song had a seemingly random tone problem if I took it away from my mixing desk. Next I bought a Yamaha HS10W to use with the KRKs because I always had trouble with the low end. I went with Yamaha because I intended to upgrade my monitors later. KRKs + sub was only a little better. I still had the same tone problems. Finally, I found a used BlueSky MediaDesk and that seems to be much better. But I was *still* missing something and it was driving me crazy. I decided not to spend any more time or money until I had researched this problem to the best of my ability. I got a lot of guidance from Mixing Secrets for the Small Studio by Mike Senior, available here on desertcart. I was missing the Mixcube. I think I read about these three or four months ago but put off getting one. I was very skeptical that something like this could help so much. I had already spent so much time and money that I thought this was the ultimate snake-oil sucker's bait. Well, I was wrong! The Mixcube has made all of the difference in my studio. I also picked up a HOSA Audio Signal Selector so I can A/B/C my monitors. My mixing experience is like night-and-day right away. I started over with my previous mixes and brought up one track at a time A/B ing with the Mixcube and BlueSkys. It's *so easy* to get bass levels and vocals to right in the mix, and with a fraction of the time I was spending before. This is a pretty gushy review and I've only had this for two days. However, I mixed two songs and both translated everywhere immediately. Did I mention that I've been struggling with this issue for years!?! If you've been having similar issues buy this now! Your only regret will be that you didn't do it sooner. In the end maybe the KRKs and sub would've been "good enough" to deliver to mastering if I had had the Mixcube from the beginning. I went back and forth between a Mixcube and a Behritone. Maybe the Behritones would give you similar or good-enough results. However, I finally decided that after everything I've put into this studio and all of the time I spent fighting my mixes, I didn't want to blow it trying to save $100. No regrets here. I'll post back if anything noteworthy happens. EDIT September 22, 2013: Still love it, and still nailing it every time. I'm not saying that I don't decide I need a little more of this or that, but the tonal agony I wrote about earlier vanished when I plugged this in and hasn't come back. In addition, I am a better "mixing engineer" because this has really helped train my ears to what is important in a mix. I put that in quotes because I'm a hardcore hobbyist, and though I've recorded and mixed legit albums for other bands, I'm not in the major or minor leagues. However, about a month ago I spent two days in the local holy-of-holies recording studio, and was jazzed to see that they have two Avantones in their monitoring setup. It was thrilling because I'll never spend the kind of money they spend on their monitoring setup ($100+k?), but when we mix for crap-speakers we're going for the same sound. Since 90% of our customers will be playing our mixes through speakers this bad or worse (e.g. the little speaker on a iPhone, etc.) it's no surprise that many big-shot engineers rely on this speaker to do a great deal of their work.
Review: F A N T A S T I C ! ! ! ! ! ! PERFECT FOR THE LATE NIGHT PRODUCER! - Well I've had this thing for one day now and I am in love with it! I mostly produce at night due to my work schedule. My wife and son are sleeping when I come home so I can't really crank the monitors which leaves me producing with headphones. Although I can do a pretty decent job with headphones I always have to tweak it using the monitors the next day. Following that is the ultimate test which of course is the car. I often find myself going back and forth between the car and my studio making slight adjustments here and there. It can get pretty old. I pretty much hate all of my songs by the time I'm done with them because I have to do so many revisions. I tried the Presonus VRM Box first which really did NOTHING for my mixes and it made my master soundcard very upset after about 40 min of usage. Finally got one of these bad boys after using them for a bit at my friends studio. I just re-did the mix down on an older tune of mine (that I actually like) utilizing only my Sennheiser Headphones and ONE Mixcube. The mix sounds 1000 x's better!!! This thing will not tell you squat about sub bass, it just doesn't pick it up which is to be expected. The idea is that this mimics most of your lower quality speakers such as computer speakers, cheap car audio, or maybe even a phone...a good phone. This will not help with your super high end either, it doesn't have that air or crispness that your actual monitors have. However, when it comes to everything inbetween...ITS AMAZING!!! In my headphones I thought that my hats, rides, shakers, percussion, etc sounded pretty balanced but when I switched over to the Avantone it was a totally different response. I balanced all of that on the Avantone and then switched back...SHABANG! Sound perfect now!!!! Same thing for the vocals, pads, and mid bass. Mid bass for me is between about 100 hz and 500 hz. I could really hear the click and punch of the kick and snare too or lack there of and made adjustments while using the Avantone. Again; AMAZING results!!! One final great attribute i will mention about the Mixcube is that I can turn it up a fair amount at night and still not wake anyone up! The lower frequencies are generally what everyone upstairs can hear and this thing does not produce any of those frequencies so I'm good to go! :D As of now I am working with only one Mixcube. I'm not so sure that you need two. I suppose if you want a real stereo image than two would be necessary but...I don't think you need it. I would just use your actual monitors for stereo work and then switch over to this for mono and balance checking. If you are having any of the issues that I mentioned in the beginning...BUY THIS NOW AND LEARN TO LIKE YOUR SONGS AGAIN!!! -T- AKA: LOGAM Drum & Bass Producer

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Q1: Just switching to Mono (Izotope Ozone 5) in my DAW using my main monitors will not produce the same results? Q2: Headphone out to TS or TRS cable?**
A: Yeah you can reference mono with Ozone but the avantone is more than just a mono reference. Since it is a single tweeter unlike a standard near field which is usually 2 way consisting of a tweeter and a woofer, the sound is much different. It more or less replicates the sound of a tv, radio, or computer speaker but with a flat freq response unlike those examples which exaggerate certain frequencies to make things sound "better". Although they are full range, they really only help with freq between about 90hz - 15K so you won't be able to hear sub notes or really high end clarity. Many times I've thought the mix sounded good but when I switched to the avantone the vocals sounded too far back or the "mid" bass was barely audible or the hi hats were too up front, etc. For connections, I would recommend using a secondary output from your soundcard instead of a headphone jack. Should be able to connect with a 1/4" cable or an XLR to 1/4" if you get the active ones.

**Q: Is the better to purchase two of these monitors (left and right balance) or try to work with one? Thanks for the help! lowbitlogic.com**
A: If you want to check your mix in mono, purchase only one.  It would be the equivalent of checking your mix through the proverbial old car radio speaker.  If you have no other studio monitors, then purchase two.

**Q: Do i go both l and r into a single trs to the mixcube or do i go from any of the two channels but activating the "mono" switch on my daw ??**
A: best bet is to use the mono setting on the DAW. otherwise you would want some sort of summing rather than a direct connect from L+R channels. one way is to get yourself a monitor controller which allows easy switching across your monitors and typically has a mono button so you can check mono on the Avantone and your regular monitors as well.

**Q: Is this model, the black one, like the picture or the other cream colored version. It changes to cream color when in cart.**
A: Mine came in as the butter cream version. Its a great speaker in any color, but I love the unique cream color too. The finish is so smooth and unlike anything I've seen. I love everything about this piece of gear. At mix time its definitely worth the $ to me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Professional grade crappy sounding speaker, which is more predictable than actually crappy speakers.
*by P***S on June 30, 2017*

I was sold on the idea of the MixCube by the fact that its predecessor was used as a referenced while mixing Thriller. I am not a Michael Jackson fan but it's difficult to deny the impact of his music. More to the point, this speaker is supposed to replicate "lower quality" speakers on which most music is heard: televisions, computer monitors, cheap headphones, without crossovers and aggressively shelved highs and lows. The concept is brilliant: if the mix sounds good here, it will probably sound good anywhere. I purchased only one, so it doubles as my mono mix reference. Unfortunately after hooking it up, the speaker had no power even the though power supply (transformer) was hot (dissipating heat). My day job is a military radar technician, so I pulled out a multimeter and noted that the power supply was not outputting AC voltage. Opening the power supply, I noted no visual anomalies but rotated the output cable 180 degrees, which restored the output voltage. I *am* now a little concerned about the electrical safety of the power supply, which I will investigate in detail later. I am stationed overseas, so the turnaround time for a replacement power supply isn't practical for me. Once I got it running, it sounded quite a bit worse than I expected, which was awesome! NO bass, very boxy low mids, pretty decent presence in the upper mids, and what sounded like absolutely no information above 10kHz. I haven't officially run a mix on this yet, but I can already tell that this is a handy B speaker to your A speaker(s). I sincerely hope that I'm the only person who has had the power supply problem, as it seems like a legitimate safety concern to me; otherwise this box is 5 stars for what it does.
