Power Your Auratones Optimally

Since the 1970s, Auratone 5C Super Sound Cubes have been valued by engineers, producers, and artists for the real-world reference they provide. Now Auratone makes a dedicated amplifier to power them optimally. Purpose-built for the legendary TEC Award–winning Auratone Super Sound Cube reference monitors, the Auratone A2-30 Studio Reference Amplifier powers two 8-ohm loudspeakers with 30 watts per channel.

A serious professional tool

Like the Super Sound Cubes, the A2-30 is a serious professional tool that’s lean and mean, with nothing but a power switch, status LED, and pro connectivity. The amp even has the same footprint as the Sound Cubes, so it looks great sitting on your desk or meter bridge. For decades, Auratones have been the gold standard for brutal honesty in monitoring, making it glaringly obvious when aspects of your mix aren’t sitting right. Sweetwater’s advice is this: Power your 5C Super Sound Cubes, or any professional speakers up to 30 watts (stereo/8 ohms), optimally with the Auratone A2-30 Studio Reference Amplifier.

Auratone A2-30 Studio Reference Amplifier Features:

  • Purpose-built for powering 5C Super Sound Cubes
  • Reference amplifier suitable for powering any speakers up to 30 watts per channel (stereo) at 8 ohms
  • Power switch, status LED
  • XLR input connectors
  • Gold-plated 5-way binding posts
  • IEC mains connector
  • Includes IEC power cord and rack ears

My Auratones are sounding good with the A2-30!

I've been listening, and this little peanut-sized Auratone amp made an astonishing difference in the sound of my Auratone loudspeakers! My old Crown D-75 had begun to hum and then a channel began to fade. I was just looking for something cost effective that would work, but this amp sounds great with the 5C monitors! I'm very pleased with the change.

Amp for your Auratones

A perfect match for your Auratones. Nuff said!!

It's just...perfect.

I love the return of Auratone. Still a family company, accessible, and I just say everyone should have a pair. I LOVE THIS AMP. It's as small in size as the speakers, and it's fits perfectly on my desktop. It's the perfect amount of power and simplicity. WORTH the money. Made in the EU by Bettermaker, but at least not made someplace else with low quality control (you know what I mean). If you are on the fence as to why do I need this-YOU DO. It can be racked up also; I choose to leave it on my console shelf and it works brilliantly. Support this small re-surging company and get a pair of Auratones and the amp. Oh...and it sounds great!
