Introducing the Avantone CLA-10 Active and CLA-10 Passive Monitors

Introducing the Avantone CLA-10 Active and CLA-10 Passive Monitors! Avantone has revamped their CLA-10 line of monitors and just announced the new Avantone CLA-10 Active Studio Monitors and Avantone CLA-10 Passive Studio Monitors. The CLA-10 studio monitors are designed and modeled after the famous Yamaha NS-10 reference monitors or "white cone in the black box". These original monitors have been seen in studios around the world for decades and are now discontinued. They're known for their unforgiving mid-range and high end with a rolled off low-end. The reason this has been desired in studios for decades is because as many engineers will agree, getting the mid-range right in a mix is the hardest part and therefore is the main priority. The mid-range is such a big part of the frequency spectrum, if you get that part right, the rest of the mix is a breeze. Legendary rock mixer Chris Lord Alge has used the original MS-10 monitors for decades on thousands of mixes and so when Avantone was looking to recreate the NS-10 monitors, they decided to partner up with Chris.

The Avantone CLA-10 studio monitors are a recreation of the original Yamaha monitors that are now discontinued. The drivers used in the CLA-10 monitors are the same as used in the originals and are a direct replacement. Now today's studios can get a pair of CLA-10s and mix the way engineers we all look up to have for years. The Avantone CLA-10 monitors are available in different versions. You can decide to go the active route and get the Avantone CLA-10 Active Studio Monitors which have a power amp built in, or the passive route with the Avantone CLA-10 Passive Studio Monitors which will require an external power amp. The power amp for the passive monitors is available in a 100 watt version called the Avantone CLA100 Power Amplifier.

The Avantone CLA-10 Active and CLA-10 Passive Monitors are available for purchase now at Front End Audio! As are the reference amplifiers. If you have any questions about the CLA-10 monitors or any of Avantone's other products, give us a call at Front End Audio! We're here to help.
