While originally inspired by the 5C sound cubes from decades ago, the Avantone MixCubes have become the industry standard in studios around the world and have become the #1 best selling speaker of its type in history.Studios primarily use 2-way & 3-way larger monitors designed to represent a wide range reference viewpoint at higher listening levels. However, in this newly developing age of High Definition Audio, there is still a need to also hear what your mix will sound like when played back over small bass-challenged systems such as televisions, clock radios, computers, car stereos, iPod docking stations, etc. It is important to make mixing judgments based partially on listening to reference monitors that will not impart tonal anomalies caused by crossovers or inferior full range drivers. Particular attention is always paid to the critical mid-range vocal/guitar/keyboard areas. This is where having a full-range monitor without a crossover is truly revealing. Ten months of R&D comparative listening & tweaking went into the voicing of the Avantone MixCubes. The result is a very smooth sounding, full range upgrade from the original 5C Sound Cubes. Listening tests reveal that the MixCubes have a smooth, more open, transparent top end response with extended bass while maintaining their basic original character.Specifications System Type: Dynamic Shielded Full-Range Pair Frequency Response: 90Hz - 17,000Hz (useful musical range) Impedance: Nominal 8 ohms SPL / Sensitivity: 93dB @ 1w / 1 meter Recommended Power: From 10-200 watts Driver: 5.25" cast aluminum frame Cabinet: sealed / 18mm MDF / Dacron acoustical stuffing Inputs: 3-way CE rated plastic encased metal binding posts (accepts up to 12-gauge wire, spade lugs, dual banana plugs) Weight: 7.13 lbs (per monitor) Dimensions: 6.5" x 6.5" x 6.5"
