Avantone Pro Mix Tower Active Dual Mode 3-Way Studio Monitor, 400W Total RMS, Pair, Black

Introduction
The Avantone Pro Mix Tower loudspeaker system, is an extension of the renowned Avantone Mix cube. Many production environments do not have the space for multiple speaker systems, so they developed the Mix Tower as a dual purpose monitor. The custom Mix Cube driver is mounted in an isolated box the exact dimensions of the Mix Cube. Run in Mix Cube mode, the driver responds full range, just like the Mix Cube. Run in three way mode, the driver is crossed over at 120Hz and 8000Hz to give the system a more natural studio monitor sound.

Application
Active recording / mix-down and playback monitors.

Engineering Objectives
The Avantone Mix Tower Studio Reference Monitors are designed to be dynamic, high SPL, high resolution, full-range active reference monitors. They included precise, no-compromise drivers in a compact format that complements modern production environments. Providing two distinct modes of operation, the Mix Tower allows full range monitoring and Mix Cube mode.

Performance Objective
Studios primarily use 2-way and 3-way large monitors designed to represent a wide range reference viewpoint at higher listening levels. However, in the newly developing age of High Definition Audio, there is still a need to 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. The Avantone Mix Tower allows the best of both worlds. Switching seamlessly between the original Mix Cube system and a full range system all in one stylish studio monitor. The Mix Cube is isolated in its own enclosure, identical to their existing design and complemented by a 5.25" woofer and high quality air motion transformer activated by the included footswitch.
