IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent hear-

ing loss. Individuals vary considerable in susceptibility to noise-induced

hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to

sufficiently intense noise for a period of time. The U.S. Government's

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have specified the

permissible noise level exposures shown in the following chart.

According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of these permissible limits

could result in some hearing loss. To ensure against potentially danger-

ous exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all

persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure

levels use hearing protectors while the equipment is in operation. Ear

plugs or protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when

operating the equipment in order to prevent permanent hearing loss if ex-

posure is in excess of the limits set forth here.

LIMITED 5 YEAR WARRANTY

AVANTONE Mixcube Actives are warranted by Avantone Pro to be free

from defects in materials and workmanship for the period of 5 YEARS

to the original purchaser. In the event of such defects, the Avantone Pro

product will be repaired without charge or, at our option, replaced with a

new one if delivered to Avantone Pro prepaid, together with a copy of the

sales slip or other proof of purchase date. The warranty excludes prob-

lems due to normal wear, abuse, shipping damage or failure to use the

product in accordance with the specifications.

All speaker systems are vulnerable to damage from sustained amplifier

clipping. This can be described as a distortion of the signal caused by the

amplifier running out of headroom. Heat will then be generated in the

voice coil of the driver beyond the heat handling capabilities of wire and

glue. At some point the voice coil will burn, causing the speaker to sound

very distorted; eventually the driver will stop working.

All parts and labor are covered under this Limited Warranty. However, if it

is determined by AVANTONE PRO that the voice coil was burned due to

sustained amplifier clipping, we reserve the right to charge the customer

for the cost of the repair, since this is considered abuse.

Avantone Pro shall not be liable for damages based upon inconvenience,

loss of use of the product, loss of time, interrupted operation or com-

mercial loss or any other damages, whether incidental, consequential, or

otherwise. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have

other rights, which will vary from state to state.

This warranty is not transferable.

INTRODUCTION

Thanks for choosing Avantone MixCube Actives!

Mixcubes are designed to be a perfect stereo matching pair

of monitors to replicate the wide range of "bass-challenged"

devices such as car stereos, TVs, clock radios, computers,

Bluetooth devices, etc.

Avantone Mixcube Actives are a huge upgrade from the orig-

inal 5C Sound Cubes; from a newly engineered cabinet, to a

more smooth, open, and transparent driver — and now with

an over-engineered power amplifier. The bass response has

been extended ever so slightly as well, but the original charac-

ter has been maintained.

REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS

1. Balanced Input: This "combo XLR" input accepts a BAL-

ANCED male XLR plug as well as a 3-conductor BALANCED

TRS ¼" or a 2 conductor UNBALANCED TS ¼" male plug. For

unbalanced operation with a TS connector the minus signal is

automatically grounded.

2. Ground Lift: By engaging this switch the pin 1 shield is lifted

at the input jack. This can be used to aid in ground loop control

of the incoming analog line signal.

3. System Gain: This variable control adjusts the sensitivity of

the signal that appears at the input. Rotating the control clock-

wise increases the sensitivity while a counter-clockwise rota-

tion decreases sensitivity. The adjustable gain range is from

-30 to +6 dB. A setting of +6 allows a full, unimpeded signal

to be sent to the amplifier. The detented gain positions allow

for repeatable settings between speakers for proper matching.

NOTE: When the signal appearing at the input

is too hot, the amplifier can overload causing

distortion and possible damage to the speaker.

If overload occurs, decrease the input level by

turning the knob counter-clockwise a few clicks.

4. Power Switch: This switch engages power for the unit.

5. AC Input: This input is only to be use with the proprietary

Avantone Power Supply. Tighten the cable/connector securely

for reliable operation.

Note: There is a switch on the power supply for

selecting the proper AC/MAINS operating volt-

age for your location.

QUICK START GUIDE

Connect the outputs of your source to the inputs of the Mixcube Actives.

Turn Gain down all the way.

While playing audio from the source, adjust the Gain on each Mixcube Active

accordingly.

NOTE: Using a decibel meter (or an app on your mobile device) can help

with calibration between each Mixcube Active, or multiple sets of mon-

itors!

"BREAKING IN" YOUR MIXCUBES

Any new full-range speaker exhibits a certain amount of "tightness" when first

played. Normally, standard usage of the speakers over a short period of time is all

that is required before you recognize the tonal changes taking place with the driver

"flexing" from some hours of use. However, if you need to "get to work" immediately;

then try this: Play any commercial music with good low-frequency content through

your Mixcubes on a loop for 24-72 hours at a medium volume level. This procedure

serves to "normalize" the driver surrounds by flexing them. Users have reported that

this sped up the break-in process and the MixCubes seemed to "open-up" a bit more

than when first powered up. Though many manufacturers claim their speakers need

up to 200 hours to break-in, we've found that 24-72 hours works great for Mixcubes.
