Styled in a wood grain finish, this pair of Auratone 5C Active Studio Monitors Wood Grain Pairis based upon the original 5C Super Sound Cube, and features a remanufactured version of its original driver and a built-in 50W 8-ohm amplifier. The 5C, which became popular with mix engineers in the 1970s and '80s, was used as a real-world-speaker reference in the recording studio.

This active version of the 5C incorporates the same amp design from the A2-30 amp, without making the cabinet any larger, yet preserving the sonic characteristics that have made the 5C so trusted with industry professionals. Built with a durable cabinet and a 4.5" full-range driver, the 5C Active Super Sound Cube is an ideal reference monitor to use to ensure your mix translates to typical consumer speakers.

Q: 10. Can a dj-style mixer be connected directly to these monitors? Do they need an amplifier or DSP in between? I was thinking about using these for my small home sound system. I have a turntable and a CD player connected to a mixer, which currently feeds into an enormous old Pioneer Digital Signal Processor unit (that gets pretty hot), and I have big old passive event-sized speakers connected to the DSP. I would like to replace the giant speakers with something smaller that will sound good for the space, and I'd *like* to eliminate the DSP unit if possible. But I can't tell from the product info here or on the manufacturer's website if I'm thinking about this correctly or not.

A: These speakers can be connected directly to the outputs of a dj mixer via the two TRS 1/4'' jacks, or the rca inputs on the back. These can also be connected to a DSP units outputs in the same way. Please note, these speakers are already powered by a built in amp, and can not take a connection from a speaker amplifier.
