Avantone Pro - MixCube Passive Black Single

The MixCube Passive Single Black takes up the fundamental principle that has made monitoring cubes so successful in the studio: deliberately simple reproduction, without complex filtering or flattering correction, in order to highlight the imbalances in a mix. This approach focuses on the critical registers, particularly vocals and mid-range instruments, which determine the readability of a track on most broadcast systems.

Avantone has modernised this concept by developing a proprietary 5.25-inch driver mounted on a die-cast aluminium chassis. The paper cone is made from New Zealand pulp enriched with mica fibres, offering rigidity, low mass and excellent transient response. The motor assembly is based on low-carbon Sumitomo steel components and military-grade Y-40 magnets, guaranteeing low distortion and stable reproduction, even at sustained levels.

The sealed, thick MDF cabinet limits resonance and ensures direct, controlled reproduction. The base incorporates a 7mm neoprene pad for mechanical isolation, and a standard 5/8"-27 screw thread for mic stand mounting, particularly practical in studio or mobile applications. The rear terminals accept bare cables, cable lugs and banana plugs, making it easy to integrate with any monitoring amplifier.

The sober, matt black finish means they blend discreetly into any working environment. Used alone or in pairs, the MixCube Passive Single Black is a reliable tool for checking the compatibility of a mix on radios, televisions, laptops and embedded systems.
