Avantone Pro // CLA10 Passive Studio Monitor Introduction

Designed in conjunction with the expertise of mixer Chris Lord Alge, the CLA10 studio monitors are the faithful modern reproduction of the most iconic studio monitor of the last 30 years. Mix with the studio monitors that truly define "the sound of hits".
Cabinet
A tremendous amount of attention has been put into ensuring that performance matches that of the original speakers. CLA10 is made from MDF with a real wood veneer. We changed the rear terminal plate to use a better grade of connector. The crossover network uses the same value capacitors - just a better grade of material and rating. The inductors exactly match the original in dc resistance, winding dimensions and value.
Drivers
The AV10-MHF tweeter dome went through a difficult engineering process to get the exact phenolic resin doping to match the original performance curve. We do this in-house to ensure and exact match with every lot. The AV10-MLF woofer uses custom tooled mechanical parts that recreate the original. The AV10-MLF woofer cone is made to match the original. One of the original vendors is our supplier and we worked closely with them to get the same stiffness and weight. The main difference is we chose to go with a pressed cone as opposed to a lapped. This allows tighter control over stiffness and weight. All of our testing revealed no tonal difference or response between ours and the original. This has the added benefit of being the first time matched pairs are truly available.

Why remove the original video ? That was a monumental exercise in marketing puffery and arrogance! Bring back the original, the public demands it! CLA is the sound of hits!

[@hambone148]

What a minute! Where’d he go?! Bring him back! Play back the entire message!

[@Naindurth]

Old video was better, sounded bigger, wider, stronger, and definitely had more hits

[@IntheDAW]

more than anyone

[@dominicbartolini]

But who is “the sound of the hits”?

[@drevil8033]

Still sounding like the Trump of mixing. No editing will help.

[@210201941]

Hey, where is original vid :(

[@FASTFASTmusic]

Everyone has already seen the original guys it went viral

[@MrTruth-ul6gv]

Must. See. Original. But where?

[@KalleHullu]

Someone has reuploaded the original ad

[@Gw49172]

Hahaha... amazing that they had to go back and record another take.

[@naise5944]

Legendary

[@michaelrequintoofficial]

How do i connect these? , they just have 2 holes in the back

[@AvantonePro]

Hey there - the CLA10s are passive monitors that require a power amplifier like the CLA-200. These can accept either bare wire or banana plugs. Here's a GREAT video on how to connect passive monitors to your interface and amplifier! kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6jReH6craiDipY

[@ytnsanw]

How many times can you NOT say 'Yamaha' in a minute-thirty and get away with it...

[@kaveka333]

Is active or passive better

[@hogblockula9335]

What was in the original that was edited out?

[@thelunarcrush]

he said " they were there since the beginning of mixing" so lot's of people joked mixing started in the 80s. I think "I'm CLA, the SOUND OF HITS" was the original beginning of the vid. got soften. also a lot ok "MMMMOK ?" were cut out, punctuating in a were "forward" way ! add back all those details and the video was pretty full on, still is !

[@BlackenedNL]

You can say what you want but the man is a legend!

[@vadimmartynyuk]

there are other speakers out there without “10” in their model name that sound much closer to NS10 and NS10m than these CLA-10

[@nicologumina8444]

Like?

[@IntheDAW]

Edited video is a bit better. I hope people remember that this is a quality company I own the mix cubes by avantone and love them.

[@danielescobar4194]

But do they have your name on it???

[@TroutmanRoger]

There is no more "Okayyyy" so for that reason, i'm out ! #sharktank

[@kingech_B15]

King Ech here, I'm diving in

[@willduperier]

[@protooler7]

The biggest mixers in the world now are Manny Marroquin, Serban Ghenea, Phil Tan, Jaycen Joshua and Tom Elmhirst. CLA who? C'mon man, gimme a break! You're talking like some hot shit. Even Greg Wells' mixes are more interesting.

[@user-oo2gz9ln8v]

[@ErickT_MX]

And they are the sound of hits

[@bitflux2]

[@blancodeplomo]

hahahahahah

[@AudioReplica2023]

CLA MARKETING STRATEGY 101. " I grabbed the old great speakers that help to make all those hits ...make them more hyped , modern and put "CLA" in the front...cuz that sales. And today i sale them to you by telling you that it doesn't matter if the old ones worked wonders ...fuck your mixes and buy my cla's Yamaha ns10 look alike 😂 move to the feature where everything sounds the same because...who cares!!! I dont care about mono btw...🤣

[@michaelrequintoofficial]

How do i connect these? , it came with no cable

[@AvantonePro]

Hey there - the CLA10 monitors are available in two types - passive (CLA10) and active (CLA10A.) The passive CLA10s require a power amplifier, the active CLA10As have the power amp built-in. These can accept either bare wire or banana plugs. You will need to buy your own speaker wire. Here's a GREAT video on how to connect passive monitors to your interface and amplifier! kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6jReH6craiDipY
