In today's world of high definition media, it is still necessary to mix music that translates and sounds as defined on lo-fi speakers such as laptops and smartphones, as well as hi-fi, full-range HD audio systems. The Active MixCube provides audio engineers with accurate and detailed mid-frequency referencing, leaving the larger 2-way and 3-way monitoring systems to bass and high-frequency referencing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Active MixCube features a powerful and accurate 60W (RMS) amplifier and 5.25\" driver enclosed in a handsome MDF cabinet with a red finish. The input connector is an XLR-combo connection with XLR and 1\/4\" TRS phone inputs that accept balanced and unbalanced signals. There is a variable gain control dial and on\/off switch. The speaker features an external power supply with a 10' AC cable attached to the power supply, and an additional 10' cloth multipin cable that connects the power supply to the speaker. The Active MixCube's small size makes it easy to place in any studio setting, and as an added feature, Avantone installed a 5\/8\"-27 threaded microphone-stand fitting to the base of the speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMid Referencing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudios primarily use 2- and 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. Listening tests reveal that the MixCube has a smooth, more open, transparent top end response with extended bass while maintaining its basic original character\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCombo XLR Input\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombo XLR\/TRS input accepts a balanced male XLR plug as well as a 3-conductor balanced TRS 1\/4\" or a 2-conductor, unbalanced, TS 1\/4\" male plug.
