Auratone is an American audio company originally founded in California and now based in Nashville, Tennessee, with a history that dates back to 1958. Started by Jack Wilson in his garage, the company became famous for its simple, honest sounding reference speakers, especially the iconic 5C Super Sound Cube, which went on to become a staple in recording studios worldwide. Still family owned decades later, Auratone has maintained its original philosophy of delivering accurate, uncolored sound, with its speakers used on countless landmark recordings including Michael Jackson’s Thriller. Today, the brand continues to build its products by hand in Nashville, carrying forward a legacy centered on reliability, transparency, and real world translation in music production.
