Avantone Pro, in conjunction with the expertise of legendary mixer Chris Lorde Alge, have designed the most faithful reproduction of the world’s most iconic studio monitor. Now everyone can mix on the monitors that define “the hitmaker sound”. A huge amount of design work & exacting detail have made the “white cone” monitors available to everyone! And now the world has finally gotten what it always asked for - an active-powered version: the CLA-10A! It’s not known as the world’s best - it’s known for being the world’s best REFERENCE - the sound that creates hits.

Since the “white cone” studio monitor was discontinued, supplies of components have become scarce and expensive. Avantone Pro has created a near exact recreation of the original drivers that now comply with modern environmental requirements.

The AV10-MHF tweeter dome was a difficult engineering process to get the exact phenolic resin doping to match the original performance curve. The AV10-MLF woofer uses custom tooled mechanical parts that mirror the original. We worked closely with one of the original vendors of the original cone to get the exact same stiffness & weight. The only difference from the original is that we use a pressed cone as opposed to a lapped.

Both drivers are physically & dimensionally exactly the same as the originals & are “bolt in” hassle-free installation.

The CLA-10A’s have an all new “VTPC” knob or “Variable Tissue Paper Control.” This allows you to simulate anything from the Vertical “m” model to the horizontal “Studio” model & everything in between. No more debate over the best tissue paper to use — VTPC has you covered!

Avantone Pro decided to stay traditional with a linear power supply us ing a massive old school toroidal transformer in order to maintain the legacy sound. The CLA-10A uses a monolithic Class AB amplifier. At low power, THD is a phenomenal 0.005%; at rated load it is 0.1%, yielding excellent performance compared to class D amps. The system yields a rock solid 200WRMS.
