Avantone's high-performance studio reference amplifier
Need a high-resolution, high-output amplifier for your passive studio monitors? We have exactly what you are looking for! The Avantone Pro CLA-400 studio reference amplifier is designed to be paired with passive monitors that demand enormous dynamic range and ground-shaking power. Very low distortion, reliable performance under heavy professional use, and an open, transparent sound make the CLA-400 a solid choice for passive near-field monitoring in demanding studios that demand high-power output without fan noise. The conservatively rated CLA-400 delivers over 360 watts into 8 ohms and can run at one-third power without thermal failure.
Uncompromising build quality
A classically designed Class AB amplifier, Avantone builds the CLA-400 the old-fashioned way, with no-compromise components in a rugged 3U convection-cooled chassis. The CLA-400 can be used with any passive studio monitor that requires serious dynamic range. Avantone has taken meticulous care to create a traditional studio-style amplifier with generous VU meters, high-quality Japanese components and a robust toroidal transformer linear power supply.
No fan noise — ideal for control room installation
Meticulously engineered in a standard 3U rackmount chassis, this amplifier can output over 360 watts per channel into an 8 ohm load, making it perfect for medium to large speakers in a control room environment. studio. The CLA-400 is convection cooled, so there is no fan noise — making it even more suitable for control room installation.
