The iconic mixdown reference speakers from the 1970s and 80s. This pair were bought new by the owner (me!) in 1985, and have been kept in a dry, professional studio environment ever since. Cosmetically, they are in very good shape, with unblemished wood veneer and no chips or damage to the cabinets, 8 Om rated, serial numbers 6491243 and 6491243.
They have been re-coned (new and up-to-date drivers) and thoroughly bench tested for a clean bill of health by Electrofix in Bristol, UK. They sound great! In their day, these speakers became famous and have been used in virtually every major recording studio worldwide still the undisputed industry standard for “real world” referencing in the recording studio.
Durability, flat full-range response, amazing power handling and portability have made AURATONES the Recording, Broadcasting, and Motion Picture industries’ favourite mixdown monitors for comparison and final mixes, auditioning, remotes, and reference standard speakers.
Please note that these speakers are sold as a pair and require an amplifier. They come with an attractive grill, but most folk use them without the grill. You can see them parked above expensive SSL and NEVE desks all around the world. Great for mono checking for radio mixes. Two number one films were mixed on these: “Bend It Like Beckham” and “Bride & Prejudice”, plus the British Academy Award nominated music score for BBC-TV prime-time series, “Moses Jones” (which the spawned the Ganda Boys group), and ITV’s long standing successful TV series, “Peack Practice”. They were always powered by my QUAD 303 amp, which is also for sale, as I’m doing a massive studio re-fit.
