Using a VTPC ("Variable Tissue Paper Control") tone control system, Avantone's CLA-10a's allow you to simulate anything from the Vertical “m” model to the horizontal “Studio” model and everything in between. Now each user can choose the best tweeter brightness that serves their individual needs.This pair of CLA-10A's feature the AV10MHF and AV10MLF drivers from the CLA-10 as well as cabinet construction. The CLA-10A's also offer a beefy Class A/B power amp section.
Most two way active speakers use a switch mode supply and Class D amplifier. And this has proven to work well in recent years. With the success of the CLA-10 and CLA-200 amplifier combination, Avantone decided to stay with what engineers all over the world have come to expect from this combination. The CLA-10 Active uses a linear power supply and 200 watts of Class AB output. Yes, it requires a heatsink. Yes, it weighs more. Yes, it sounds awesome.
