Question 1

Q1: Just switching to Mono (Izotope Ozone 5) in my DAW using my main monitors will not produce the same results? Q2: Headphone out to TS or TRS cable?

Accepted Answer

Yeah you can reference mono with Ozone but the avantone is more than just a mono reference. Since it is a single tweeter unlike a standard near field which is usually 2 way consisting of a tweeter and a woofer, the sound is much different. It more or less replicates the sound of a tv, radio, or computer speaker but with a flat freq response unlike those examples which exaggerate certain frequencies to make things sound "better". Although they are full range, they really only help with freq between about 90hz - 15K so you won't be able to hear sub notes or really high end clarity. Many times I've thought the mix sounded good but when I switched to the avantone the vocals sounded too far back or the "mid" bass was barely audible or the hi hats were too up front, etc. For connections, I would recommend using a secondary output from your soundcard instead of a headphone jack. Should be able to connect with a 1/4" cable or an XLR to 1/4" if you get the active ones.

Question 2

Is the better to purchase two of these monitors (left and right balance) or try to work with one? Thanks for the help! lowbitlogic.com

Accepted Answer

If you want to check your mix in mono, purchase only one.  It would be the equivalent of checking your mix through the proverbial old car radio speaker.  If you have no other studio monitors, then purchase two.

Question 3

Do i go both l and r into a single trs to the mixcube or do i go from any of the two channels but activating the "mono" switch on my daw ??

Accepted Answer

best bet is to use the mono setting on the DAW. otherwise you would want some sort of summing rather than a direct connect from L+R channels. one way is to get yourself a monitor controller which allows easy switching across your monitors and typically has a mono button so you can check mono on the Avantone and your regular monitors as well.

Question 4

Is this model, the black one, like the picture or the other cream colored version. It changes to cream color when in cart.

Accepted Answer

Mine came in as the butter cream version. Its a great speaker in any color, but I love the unique cream color too. The finish is so smooth and unlike anything I've seen. I love everything about this piece of gear. At mix time its definitely worth the $ to me.
