NAMM 2022: Auratone’s 5C Active Studio Monitors Bring their Classic Design into the Powered World

Auratone’s passive 5C monitors are well known amongst the audio engineering community – their coaxial design and sound has garnered equal amounts of love and hate and no matter your opinion on them they’ve had a hand in creating some of the most popular albums in the world, such as Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp a Butterfly.

No more bulky power amps, the new 5C Active sound exactly like the passive model so Auratone lovers won’t have to worry about losing that classic boxy sound.

Features

  • 2 speakers with 4.5-inch, full-range drivers that deliver an exceedingly honest “real-world” sound
  • Integrated 50W, 8-ohm amplifier for an all-in-one setup right out of the box
  • Perfectly captures the sound of the original Auratone 5C
  • Wide 80–15,000Hz full-range frequency response
  • Overheating, short, and overcurrent protection to protect your speakers from accidental damage
  • Made in the USA
