Avantone Pro CLA-10 Active Chris Lord-Alge Active Studio Monitors (Pair)

Classic Studio Monitors Inspired by Iconic White-Cone Speakers
The Avantone Pro CLA-10 Active Studio Monitors (Pair) are a modern recreation of one of the most iconic studio reference speakers in recording history. Designed in collaboration with legendary mix engineer Chris Lord-Alge, these powered monitors bring the unmistakable mid-forward frequency response that has been trusted by audio professionals for decades. Built to provide accurate, uncolored monitoring, the CLA-10 Actives allow you to fine-tune your mix with confidence, ensuring that your tracks translate consistently across all playback systems.

Accurate Reproduction of the Original Studio Standard
Avantone Pro meticulously researched the components and sonic characteristics of the revered NS-10 monitors to recreate their distinctive sound. Featuring custom-engineered drivers and an advanced crossover network, these monitors deliver the same critical midrange focus and unforgiving clarity that made the originals an essential tool in top recording studios worldwide. With a matched frequency voicing, the CLA-10 Actives provide the reliability and precision that engineers demand for mixing and mastering.

Custom-Designed Drivers for Precise and Consistent Performance
The AV10-MLF woofer and AV10-MHF tweeter have been engineered to match the performance of the original components. The woofer incorporates a pressed cone for consistent stiffness and weight, ensuring accurate low-frequency response. The tweeter dome has undergone extensive testing to replicate the phenolic resin doping of the original design, providing smooth and natural high frequencies. These high-quality components ensure that every nuance of your mix is revealed with remarkable detail.

Variable Tissue Paper Control for Adjustable High-Frequency Response
The CLA-10 Actives include a unique VTPC (Variable Tissue Paper Control) knob, allowing engineers to adjust the tweeter response to mimic the classic tissue paper trick used on original NS-10 monitors. This feature provides the flexibility to switch between different tonal characteristics, simulating both vertical and horizontal monitor models. Whether fine-tuning vocals or dialing in mix balance, VTPC allows precise control over the high-end response without physically modifying the speakers.

High-Powered Class-AB Amplification for Authentic Analog Sound
Unlike modern Class-D amplifier designs, the CLA-10 Actives utilize a monolithic Class-AB amplifier with a robust linear power supply and a toroidal transformer. This design preserves the analog warmth and clarity of the original speakers while delivering 240W RMS of clean, powerful sound. With a total harmonic distortion of just 0.005% at low power and 0.1% at rated load, these monitors offer the dynamic accuracy required for critical mixing decisions.

Balanced and Unbalanced Inputs for Flexible Connectivity
The CLA-10 Actives provide multiple input options to accommodate different studio setups. Featuring balanced XLR and 1/4-inch TRS inputs as well as unbalanced RCA inputs, these monitors easily integrate with professional audio interfaces, mixing consoles, and home studio equipment. Whether working in a professional facility or a project studio, the CLA-10 Actives offer seamless connectivity for any workflow.

Built to Last with a Classic Design
Encased in a sleek black MDF cabinet with the unmistakable white-cone woofer, the CLA-10 Actives retain the timeless aesthetic of the legendary monitors they are modeled after. Designed for durability and long-term studio use, these speakers combine premium materials with meticulous craftsmanship to deliver a monitoring solution that will serve engineers and producers for years to come.
