The Auratone A2-30 is a purpose-built power amplifier, designed to partner the legendary 5C Super Sound Cube – a reference monitor that has influenced mixing decisions in top studios for over 50 years. Unlike generic studio amps, the A2-30 has been engineered from the ground up to complement the sealed-box, single-driver design of the Sound Cubes, delivering just the right amount of power without sonic colouration. Its minimalist front panel – just a power switch and status LED – reflects the no-nonsense ethos of the Cube, eliminating unnecessary controls. Professional-grade I/O keeps connections simple and secure, while its matching compact footprint allows it to sit neatly alongside the Cubes on a meter bridge or desktop, completing the classic Auratone setup with understated precision.
The Auratone A2-30 delivers 30W per channel into 8 ohms, perfectly matched to drive a pair of 5C Super Sound Cubes. Its design prioritises neutrality, with total harmonic distortion figures as low as 0.03% (at 1W) and a signal-to-noise ratio above 100dB, ensuring zero colouration. The frequency response is flat from 20Hz to 20kHz, with tightly controlled crosstalk and gain for consistent results. Connectivity is straightforward as well: Balanced XLR inputs accept line-level signals (+4dBu), while gold-plated five-way binding posts provide secure loudspeaker connections. A universal 115–230V power supply, rear-panel power switch, and front-mounted LED indicator round out the package. And at just 1.25kg, its compact, lightweight design keeps the focus where it belongs: On transparent, dependable amplification for the 5C Super Sound Cubes.
The Auratone A2-30 is purpose-built to deliver what the 5C Super Sound Cubes require: Clean, consistent power that preserves their midrange-focused character. Whether in a project studio, broadcast booth, or world-class mix room, it ensures the Cubes perform at their best for critical listening. Compact and discreet, it sits naturally alongside the Sound Cubes – on a meter bridge, desktop, or mobile rig – reinforcing the "reality check" that keeps mixes balanced across any playback system.
Auratone is a US-based loudspeaker manufacturer with a legacy reaching back to the 1950s. Founded by Jack Wilson in Nashville, the company became world-famous in the 1970s with the release of the 5C Super Sound Cube, a compact reference monitor that quickly earned a place on the meter bridges of leading studios. Trusted for highlighting critical frequencies in the midrange, the Sound Cubes have been used on countless hit records and remain an industry benchmark today. After Jack Wilson’s passing in 2005, the company was revived by his family, continuing to build in the USA to original specifications. Through models like the 5C Super Sound Cube and the dedicated A2-30 amplifier, Auratone upholds its heritage, delivering the same uncompromising midrange focus to modern studios.
In everyday use, the Auratone A2-30 fades into the background, enabling the focused evaluation and adjustment of audio mixes without distractions. Its perfectly tailored design ensures engineers hear exactly what their speakers are intended to deliver: No hype, no colouration, just an honest reproduction of the midrange that is so characteristic of the Sound Cubes' unmatched clarity. Visually, it also echoes the design of the Auratone 5C Super Sound Cubes, blending discreetly into the studio environment, just reliably powering the speakers through any recording session. With its simple yet precise build, it completes the classic Auratone signal chain that has been trusted by professional studios for decades.
