Avantone Pro CLA-10A Active Classic Reference Studio Monitor Limited Edition

The “White Cone” has Returned – Again!

Avantone Pro, in partnership with legendary mixer Chris Lord Alge, brings back the iconic studio monitor sound with the CLA-10 and CLA-10A. These monitors are a faithful reproduction of the classic “white cone” design that defined hit records for years. The CLA-10A Limited Edition goes a step further, combining the revered white-cone sound with a visually stunning North American black walnut bark veneer. This active loudspeaker system eliminates the need for an independent power amp, blending traditional design with modern functionality.

Avantone Pro’s dedication to authenticity extends to the drivers. They’ve replicated the original components, updating only what’s necessary to meet today’s environmental standards. The AV10-MHF tweeter and AV10-MLF woofer are crafted to match the original’s performance, offering sonically matched pairs for the first time since the original white cone’s discontinuation.

The CLA-10As are versatile, incorporating a “VTPC” knob (Variable Tissue Paper Control) for simulating different versions of the original monitors. This feature, along with a traditional linear power supply and a robust 200W Class AB amplifier, ensures that the classic sound is preserved.
