Description

THE ICONIC STUDIO MONITOR SYSTEM IS BACK.

The “White Cone” has returned — with lots of power!

Avantone Pro, in conjunction with the expertise of legendary mixer Chris Lord-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 tremendous amount of design work and exacting detail have finally 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!

THE ORIGINAL DRIVERS FOR THE ORIGINAL SOUND

Since the “white cone” studio monitor was discontinued, the supply of aftermarket components have become more and more expensive and less and less available. Avantone Pro has created a near exact recreation of the original drivers. Using our global resources and decade of experience in driver construction, we have reproduced the components faithfully, updating the materials to comply with modern environmental requirements.

The AV10-MHF tweeter dome went through 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 and weight, but upgraded the production process to create machine-pressed cones. Because of this, the CLA-10 marks the first time that a white cone-style speaker has been made available in sonically matched pairs!

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

AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AN ACTIVE CONFIGURATION.

One of the most common questions asked about the CLA-10A’s is which version of the originals are they based on, and the answer is: all of them! The CLA-10A’s have an all new “VTPC” knob or “Variable Tissue Paper Control.” This VTPC allows you to simulate any thing from the Vertical “m” model to the horizontal “Studio” model and 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 implementing 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. A single speaker yields a rock solid 200 W RMS.
