Auratone

Auratone is a legendary American loudspeaker company with a heritage dating back to 1958. Originally founded to build home audio speakers, the brand quickly became a cornerstone of the professional recording industry with the introduction of the iconic 5C Sound Cube in the early 1970s. Known as the “Recording Monitors for the Real World,” the 5C gained global recognition for its unique midrange-focused response and crossover-free design, which provided engineers with an honest and reliable reference point. This authenticity made Auratone monitors an essential tool in nearly every major studio worldwide, shaping the sound of countless hit records and establishing their reputation as indispensable reference speakers.

Today, Auratone remains family-owned, proudly manufacturing its speakers in the United States and carrying forward its tradition of craftsmanship and innovation. The modern 5C reissue preserves the exact tonal characteristics of the vintage models by sourcing original materials, ensuring the same trusted sound that defined decades of recording history. With a legacy honored by TEC Awards and an enduring presence in professional studios, Auratone continues to be the reference monitor of choice for producers and engineers who demand truth, clarity, and reliability in their mixes. More than just speakers, Auratones represent a lasting piece of recording history that continues to influence modern music production.
