High-Performance Studio Reference Amplifier for Passive Monitors
The Avantone Pro CLA-100 Studio Reference Amplifier is a powerful and precision-engineered Class AB amplifier designed for professional studio monitoring. With 100 watts per channel at 8 ohms and an ultra-flat frequency response, this amplifier delivers accurate, uncolored sound that allows engineers to make critical mix decisions with confidence. Built as the perfect match for passive studio monitors, including the Avantone CLA-10s, this amp provides clean, dynamic power without unwanted coloration.

Designed for Transparent, High-Fidelity Audio
With a frequency response of ±0.25 dB from 20 Hz to 30 kHz, the CLA-100 ensures precise sound reproduction across the full audio spectrum. Unlike many modern amplifiers that introduce coloration, this amplifier maintains neutrality, making it an excellent choice for critical listening. Whether used for mixing, mastering, or general playback, the CLA-100 delivers the clarity and dynamic range required in professional studios.

Class AB Amplification with High-Quality Components
The CLA-100 is designed using high-grade Japanese filter capacitors, MOSFET power technology, and an oversized toroidal transformer, ensuring maximum efficiency and reliability. This traditional Class AB amplifier provides the warmth and transparency associated with legendary studio power amps, giving engineers a familiar and trusted sound signature. Its 1% THD + noise at peak power guarantees minimal distortion, even at higher volume levels.

Silent, Fanless Operation for Studio Environments
Unlike many power amplifiers that rely on internal fans, the CLA-100 is entirely convection-cooled. This fanless design eliminates mechanical noise, making it an ideal choice for control rooms where silent operation is crucial. Whether in a small project studio or a high-end recording environment, this amplifier ensures that background noise never interferes with the monitoring experience.

Versatile Connectivity and Global Voltage Switching
The CLA-100 is built with flexibility in mind, offering stereo and bridged operation modes to accommodate different monitoring setups. With a power output of 100 watts per channel at 8 ohms and 245 watts in bridged mode, it can drive medium to large passive monitors with ease. Additionally, its worldwide voltage switch (115V/230V) makes it compatible with studios across the globe, ensuring seamless integration into any professional audio setup.

Durable Rackmount Design with Classic Studio Aesthetics
Encased in a rugged 1U rackmount chassis, the CLA-100 is designed to withstand years of use in professional studio environments. Its vintage-inspired aesthetics, complete with large VU meters, provide a classic look that complements studio gear while offering precise level monitoring. This amplifier is built to meet the needs of engineers who demand reliable performance with a design that stays true to studio tradition.
