Avantone CLA-200 Amplifier
The Avantone Pro CLA-200 is a classically designed Class A/B studio reference amplifier built the old-school way. Housed in a standard 2U rackmount chassis, this dynamic, high-resolution workhorse features generous analog VU meters, premium Japanese components, and a serious toroidal transformer linear power supply. Generating over 200W per channel into an 8-ohm load, it provides the exceptional dynamic range required for medium-to-large passive monitors in demanding studio environments.
While specifically voiced and designed to complement the CLA-10 studio monitors, the CLA-200 delivers an open, transparent sound that pairs beautifully with any demanding speaker load.
The CLA-200 is entirely convection-cooled. With zero fan noise, the amplifier runs completely silent, allowing it to be installed directly in the control room right alongside your monitors. Under testing, it easily delivers a powerful 208W into 8 ohms and can run continuously at one-third power without thermal fault.
Key Features:
- High-Resolution Power: Generates 200W at 8 ohms, 300W at 4 ohms, or up to 500W bridged into a single 8-ohm load.
- Classic Analog VU Meters: Dual vintage-style VU meters provide precise, real-time visual monitoring.
- Silent Operation: Convection-cooled design eliminates loud fan noise for critical listening environments.
- Pro Connectivity: Features XLR inputs alongside convenient Link Outputs on each channel.
