Avantone MixCubes Active Black Single

I use MixCube as a mono monitor. It has been setup as a middle-mono speaker, between my Dynaudio BM6. Both speakers go through IK Multimedia ARC2. MixCube looks great. Build quality is amazing. I'm still getting used to mixing in mono. The speakers sound as they supposed to, middrangy, with most of bass energy around 100-200Hz which is good for setting bass levels for media such as iPods, TV, laptops etc. They are really helpful for setting levels. I start the mix with MixCube, set mix levels, and then regarding levels I add compression and basic eq. Then I switch to main monitors for additional adjustments. At the end I check balance on MixCube again and mono compatibility. For me MixCube is essential tool for better mixes.

I use this product as a reference monitor, I only have one and use it in Mono to check the mid-range of my mixes. These would not be suitable as your only monitors, but when used to check mixes they are incredible at highlighting mid-range issues, vocal and reverb levels and how the bass will translate on smaller systems. For the purpose of referencing these are literally incredible. They are the classic 'bad' speaker check that makes you work really hard to get a good sound. However, once I earned the idiosyncrasies of the mix cubes and got my mixes sounding clean and clear on them, the translation to different systems was solid. An incredibly useful tool when used in the right way. I am so happy with my purchase.
