CLA200

The  Avantone Pro CLA-200 Studio Reference Amplifier is a classically  designed Class A/B amplifier.  We took particular care to create an  amplifier in the traditional studio style, with generous VU meters, high  quality Japanese components and a serious toroidal transformer linear  power supply.  In a standard 2U rack mount chassis, this amplifier can  generate over 200 watts per channel into an 8 ohm load, making it  perfect for medium to large speakers in a studio environment.  The  CLA200 is convection cooled – no fan noise, so it can be used in the  same room as the monitors.

The CLA-200 Studio Reference Amplifier is designed to be used in a  studio environment requiring high power output with no fan noise.  Under  testing, it delivers a powerful 208 watts into 8 ohms and can run at  one third power without thermal fault.

The CLA-200 was designed to be paired with the CLA-10 studio  monitors, but it can be used with just about any demanding speaker load.   Very low distortion, steady performance under harsh conditions, and an  open and transparent sound make this an obvious choice for discerning  studios.

Engineering Objectives

The Avantone Pro CLA-200 Studio Reference Amplifier is a dynamic,  high output, high resolution, full-range system built the old school  way.  We included no-compromise components in a 2U convection cooled  chassis to complement our CLA-10 Studio Reference Monitors.  Of course,  it can be used with any passive studio monitor requiring serious dynamic  range.
