CLA10A-LIMITED

Avantone Pro, in conjunction with the legendary mixer Chris Lord-Alge, designed the most faithful reproduction of the world’s most iconic studio monitor in the CLA-10 and CLA-10A, and ever since the world has been able to mix on the monitors that defined “the sound of hits.” A tremendous amount of design work and exacting detail made the “white cone” monitors available to everyone!

So, how do you improve on perfection without altering the classic sound one expects from the “white cone?” By changing the finish, of course!

The CLA-10A Limited Edition delivers the classic white-cone reference tone in a stunning North American black walnut veneer that has a look as classic as its sound. And unlike yesteryear’s studio reference classic, the CLA-10A Limited Edition is an active loudspeaker; no independent power amp required.

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 their global resources and decade of experience in driver construction, they 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!
