The secondary engineering facet was to create a timeless design that compliments a single full-range transducer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerformance Objective:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStudios primarily use 2-way \u0026amp; 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\u0026amp;D comparative listening \u0026amp; 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCabinet Design:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe original 5C Sound Cubes™ were made of ½” particleboard covered with a glue-on wood grain contact paper. We chose to use thicker, denser MDF board because of its high rigidity and inherent low-resonance characteristics. We started with a 165mm (6 1\/2\") sealed cube design with radiused edges. We then chose an elegant Polyurethane high gloss “RETRO-CREAM” finish. The originals had either screws or on later models plastic binding posts mounted on a recessed plastic cup. We upgraded to high-end nickel plated, machined solid metal binding posts (Dual banana spacing) mounted on a black anodized ,milled and silk-screened aluminum terminal plate. Next we added a 7mm thick neoprene pad embedded into the base of the cabinet to serve as a skid-resistant acoustic isolator. Additionally, for creative mounting situations, we recessed an industry standard 5\/8”-27 mic stand mount into the base.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDriver Design:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe originals were a basic 5” stamped frame design. We designed a proprietary 5.25” die cast aluminum frame driver\/cone assembly to exceed the performance of the originals. The mounting bezel is then polished for an elegant appearance. The paper cone, chosen for its musical character, is custom designed \u0026amp; crafted using the finest New Zealand pulp with mica fibers added for lighter weight \u0026amp; rigidity. The cloth surround is made in Japan to exacting uniform thickness tolerances. The Top Plate and T-Yoke of driver are made of Sumitomo 1008 low carbon steel enabling the highest modeled flux density in the gap. The magnets are Y- 40 GRADE (MIL-SPEC) yielding a 43oz. High Power-low distortion motor structure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAmplifier Design:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe designed the amp module from the ground up to be a true professional-grade amplifier. It incorporates “overkill” concepts in component selection as well as safety. The result is a “no-compromise” amp with robust headroom characteristics that will rival the performance of much higher priced studio rack mount amps.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSystem Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Active (Self-powered) shielded full-range stereo pair\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrequency Response: \u003c\/b\u003e90Hz - 17,000Hz (useful musical range)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eImpendance: \u003c\/b\u003eNominal 8 ohms\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMax SPL:\u003c\/b\u003e 104db @ 1 meter = 1%THD (PINK NOISE)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAmplifier Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Class A\/B\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAmplifier Power:\u003c\/b\u003e 60 watts RMS@ .005% THD (1KHz)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAmp Frequency Response: \u003c\/b\u003e22Hz-50KHz +0dB\/- 3dB (90Hz-50KHz +\/-0dB)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNoise:\u003c\/b\u003e S\/N -113 dB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSensitivity: \u003c\/b\u003e0dBu (.775VRMS) input at maximum volume (+6dB) = 104dB SPL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDriver: \u003c\/b\u003eProprietary design 5.25\" cast aluminum frame \/ paper cone \/ shielded\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCabinet:\u003c\/b\u003e sealed \/ 18mm MDF \/ Dacron acoustical stuffing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInputs: \u003c\/b\u003eXLR \u0026amp; TRS (COMBO JACK) +4\/Balanced and -10 unbalanced\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight: \u003c\/b\u003e7.13lbs (per monitor)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e6.5\" x 6.5\" x 6.5\"","brand":"Avantone Pro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33926146752647,"sku":"AVANAB","price":499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/avantone-pro-pro-audio-speakers-studio-monitors-avantone-active-mixcubes-black-pair-avanab-28208573513863.jpg?v=1652490835"},{"product_id":"avantone-ck1-cardioid-microphone-w-ssm-shock-mount-451348","title":"Avantone CK1 Cardioid Microphone w\/ SSM Shock Mount \u0026 OMNI\/Hyper-Cardioid Capsules","description":"\u003ci\u003eFrom Avantone:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Avantone \"Cabernet (C-series)\" mics are designed to offer true professional performance.

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\u0026amp;D comparative listening \u0026amp; 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCabinet Design:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe original 5C Sound Cubes™ were made of ½” particleboard covered with a glue-on wood grain contact paper. We chose to use thicker, denser MDF board because of its high rigidity and inherent low-resonance characteristics. We started with a 165mm (6 1\/2\") sealed cube design with radiused edges. We then chose an elegant Polyurethane high gloss “RETRO-CREAM” finish. The originals had either screws or on later models plastic binding posts mounted on a recessed plastic cup. We upgraded to high-end nickel plated, machined solid metal binding posts (Dual banana spacing) mounted on a black anodized ,milled and silk-screened aluminum terminal plate. Next we added a 7mm thick neoprene pad embedded into the base of the cabinet to serve as a skid-resistant acoustic isolator. Additionally, for creative mounting situations, we recessed an industry standard 5\/8”-27 mic stand mount into the base.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDriver Design:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe originals were a basic 5” stamped frame design. We designed a proprietary 5.25” die cast aluminum frame driver\/cone assembly to exceed the performance of the originals. The mounting bezel is then polished for an elegant appearance. The paper cone, chosen for its musical character, is custom designed \u0026amp; crafted using the finest New Zealand pulp with mica fibers added for lighter weight \u0026amp; rigidity. The cloth surround is made in Japan to exacting uniform thickness tolerances. The Top Plate and T-Yoke of driver are made of Sumitomo 1008 low carbon steel enabling the highest modeled flux density in the gap. The magnets are Y- 40 GRADE (MIL-SPEC) yielding a 43oz.

The development of the BV-1 mkII was a “spare-no-expense” approach to microphone design — every single component was chosen for its sound quality. This has resulted in capacitors being used from 6 different boutique companies such as Solen, Nichicon, Wima, Elna, Kyocera and Epcos. Avantone worked with many of these companies to manufacture custom capacitors just for the BV-1 mkII, as only the very best would deliver our sonic quality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe BV-1 mkII also features a custom Cinemag output transformer designed for this microphone, as well as a handpicked edge-terminated 34mm CK12-style capsule. The culmination of these components led to a design that has huge bottom- end, and smooth yet airy top-end. The proximity effect lends itself to a massive sound that can add body and a sense of presence to any vocals. Though the original BV-1 remains a top contender as a world-class vocal mic, the expanded veratility of the BV-1 mkII also makes for a top choice for use with percussion, piano, mandolin, brass, winds, and even guitar cabinets.
