Auratone 5C Active Single Wood Grain
Configurer
Auratone 5C Active Single Wood Grain – the legendary reference monitor reborn as an active speaker with a 50-watt Bettermaker-designed amplifier, retaining the iconic 5C clarity in a compact, American-made enclosure. Ideal for mixing, mastering, and critical listening, it celebrates the 50th anniversary of a studio classic.
The 5C Active is a modern reimagining of Auratone’s industry-standard 5C Sound Cube. While preserving the exact size and sonic signature of the original passive model, it now integrates a 50-watt amplifier with ultra-low distortion (0.05% THD+N) developed in partnership with Bettermaker. The result is a monitor that delivers detailed, uncolored sound with superior consistency and build quality. Featuring a 4.5" full-range driver and frequency response from 80 Hz to 15 kHz, the 5C Active is built for precise referencing in any studio setting.
The amplifier design is based on the award-winning A2-30 and offers professional-grade performance, high signal-to-noise ratio, and multiple protection features. An XLR/TRS combo input ensures seamless connectivity, while the wood grain cabinet and classic dimensions (6.5" x 6.5" x 6") retain the timeless aesthetic. Celebrating 50 years of trusted use in studios worldwide, the 5C Active continues the Auratone tradition of honest sound and rugged reliability.
