The industry standard.
For good reason.

The original reference monitor. A single 4.5" full-range driver in a sealed acoustic-suspension enclosure — no crossover, no tweeter, no port resonance. The same fundamental design that Bruce Swedien used to mix Thriller has remained unchanged because nothing about it needed improving.

Every mix eventually reaches car stereos, laptop speakers, and TV sets. The 5C shows you — before your listeners do — exactly how it will translate. No flattery. No forgiveness.

Purpose-built to drive the passive 5C with absolute transparency. 30 watts per channel, balanced XLR inputs, and a signal path engineered to add nothing of itself to the sound. The 5C tells the truth. The A2-30 carries the message without editorial.

Compact enough to live on a meter bridge, or snap on the included 1U rack ears and slot it into your equipment rack. An honest speaker deserves an honest amplifier.
