We collaborated with platinum studio stalwart Chris Lord-Alge to re-create the ubiquitous “white cone” studio monitor that has been a staple of world-class recording studios for over 45 years — The sound of hits! While not known as the world’s best speaker for casual listening, it’s instead known for being the world’s best reference for mixing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThrough meticulous research into the originals and unwavering attention to sonic detail, those iconic monitors have been reborn for a new generation of audio purists as the CLA-10 Passive.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eEncased in a sleek black box with that unmistakable white LMF driver, The CLA-10 Passives deliver the unforgiving mid-forward frequency response that lets you focus on the most mission-critical elements of your mix, particularly vocals. In short: if you can make a mix sound great on CLA-10s, it will sound great on \u003ci\u003eany \u003c\/i\u003espeaker.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Original Drivers for the Original Sound.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eAs the supply of aftermarket components for vintage white-cone speakers dwindled, Avantone Pro stepped in to fill the void… drawing upon their global and decade of experience in driver construction. The result? Near-identical reproductions of both drivers \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e the classic crossover that all stay true to the original specifications while meeting modern environmental standards. These components match the originals so well that we even made them available as aftermarket replacement components for aging white-cone speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe AV10-MHF tweeter dome underwent rigorous engineering to arrive at the exact phenolic resin doping required to replicate the original’s performance curve. Meanwhile, the AV10-MLF woofer boasts custom-tooled mechanical parts that faithfully mirror its predecessor.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eCollaborating closely with one of the original vendors, Avantone Pro ensured that the stiffness and weight of the cone matched the original’s behavior flawlessly. The only departure from the original design is the use of a pressed cone instead of a lapped one, allowing for superior matching — ushering in a new era where matched pairs are now readily available!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePassive Design for Old-school Purists.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eTrue to the classics, the CLA-10 Passives are a passive-format studio monitor that requires the use of a power amplifier. (We recommend the CLA-series power amps for that, of course.)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eNew to the CLA-10 Passives is the VTC switch, allowing you to simulate the high-frequency dampening trick often on the original speakers — covering the tweeters with tissue paper. Turning on VTC drops the output of the HMF driver by 2 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Musictoner","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":67607432822947,"sku":"CLA10PASSIVE","price":419.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/8299\/0499\/files\/Avantone-CLA-10Passive-34Left-Pair_92637a44-b307-4241-be8b-1f8edcdcc4f3.jpg?v=1791186264","url":"https:\/\/musictoner.shop\/products\/musictoner-altomusic-avantone-cla-10-active-classic-passive-studio-monitors-pair","provider":"MusicToner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
