Built to the same exacting specs and exhibiting the same razor-flat frequency response as the flagship CLA-200, the hundred-watt version of Chris and Avantone's latest power amp makes the perfect platform for your passive Avantone Pro CLA10s or studio-style black-and-whites. Yet at a true 100W RMS per side and just 1% THD + noise at peak power, the Avantone CLA-100 power amplifier gives you more than enough output, headroom, and clarity to put your mixes to the test. Premium components — high-quality Japanese filter caps, MOSFET power, and an oversized toroidal transformer — gives the CLA-100 an impressive ±0.25dB response throughout the audible spectrum and beyond, even run full tilt. And since there's no onboard fan, this amp is perfect for studios where silence in the control comes at a premium. Switchable voltage (115V/230V) and stereo/bridged operation make the Avantone Pro CLA-100 power amplifier a useful addition to studios around the world.
No-compromise build quality
A classically designed Class AB amplifier, Avantone builds the CLA-100 the old-school way, with no-compromise components in a rugged 2U convection-cooled chassis that visually complements the CLA-10 Studio Reference Monitors. Of course, the CLA-100 can be used with any passive studio monitors that require serious dynamic range. Avantone exercised meticulous care to create an amplifier in the traditional studio style, with generous VU meters, high-grade Japanese filter caps, and a beefy toroidal transformer linear power supply.
No fan noise — ideal for control room installation
Meticulously designed into a standard 1U rackmount chassis, this amp can generate 100 watts RMS per channel into an 8-ohm load, making it perfect for medium-to-large speakers in a studio control room environment. The CLA-100 is convection cooled, so there's no fan noise — which makes it even better suited for control room installation.
