Auratone has been a trusted name in studio monitoring since 1958, best known for the iconic 5C Sound Cube introduced in the early 1970s. Its simple, crossover-free design and revealing midrange made it a favorite reference monitor for engineers and producers working on countless landmark recordings. Still family-owned and based in Nashville, Auratone continues to build the 5C with careful attention to the original design and sound, preserving its reputation as one of the most recognizable and dependable studio reference speakers in professional audio.
