Why Choose the Avantone CLA10 Passive?
- Honest & Uncompromising Mix ReferenceThe CLA10 hides nothing. Thanks to its distinctive focus on the midrange, you can immediately hear where the vocals, snare drums, and guitars are in your mix. Does your mix sound good on the CLA10? Then it’ll sound great anywhere.
- Faithful Reproduction of the Classic White-Conus Woofer (AV10-MLF)Avantone has spent years conducting research to replicate the exact frequency response of the original. The custom AV10-MLF woofer uses the exact same rigid, pressed paper cone to deliver that fast transient response and unmatched midrange.
- Upgraded Silk Dome Tweeter (AV10-MHF)The AV10-MHF tweeter delivers the familiar high-frequency response, but uses an improved manufacturing process to ensure stricter quality control and consistent performance across different units.
- Passive Design for Maximum ControlAs a passive monitor, the CLA10 gives you the freedom to choose your favorite studio power amplifier (such as the Avantone CLA-100 or CLA-200). This ensures an ultra-clean signal path without any coloration from built-in active DSP.
- High-Quality MDF EnclosureThe cabinet is made of rigid, genuine MDF with a stylish real wood veneer, designed to minimize unwanted cabinet vibrations and resonances.
