Avantone CLA Sub 300 Watt 10 Studio Subwoofer

The Avantone CLA Sub is a 300 watt, 10 inch studio subwoofer designed in collaboration with mix legend Chris Lord Alge to deliver honest, monumental bass. Whether you are working on modern chart pop, hip hop, EDM or immersive cinema sound, it gives you the low frequency extension and control you need to make confident mix decisions that translate on any system.

Voiced to partner perfectly with Avantone CLA series white cone monitors but flexible enough for almost any setup, the CLA Sub offers front firing and downward firing configurations, powerful onboard filtering and rock solid connectivity. It is all about tight, musical low end rather than hyped, distorted rumble, so you can truly trust what you are hearing.

Monumental Bass You Can Trust

The CLA Sub is built for producers and engineers who need to hear every detail of the low end, from sub bass synths and 808s through to cinematic impacts and kick drums. Instead of faking loudness with distortion, Avantone have focused on clean, controlled extension, so you can judge balance, punch and depth with confidence. If your mix sounds right on the CLA Sub, it will hold up on club systems, soundbars and laptops alike.

Front Firing or Downward Firing Flexibility

Every room behaves differently in the low frequencies, so the CLA Sub can be configured as either a front firing or downward firing subwoofer simply by repositioning the rubber feet. Front firing mode keeps the driver decoupled from the floor for the cleanest, most accurate response, while downward firing mode deliberately couples the woofer to the room for an extra 3 dB of output. This flexibility makes it easy to tailor the sub to your space without resorting to guesswork.

Exclusive Dual Magnet Driver for Clean Power

At the heart of the CLA Sub is a custom 10 inch dual magnet driver that you will not find in any other speaker. Its stacked dual ferrite magnet design delivers impressive power and control, while the rigid paper cone was chosen for its low distortion and fast transient response. The result is bass that hits hard yet stays tight and articulate, revealing timing, tuning and dynamics in a way that typical, more coloured subs simply cannot.

Smart Controls for Seamless Integration

The onboard filter and control set makes integrating the CLA Sub into your monitoring chain straightforward. A sweepable high cut from 50 to 180 Hz lets you choose the ideal crossover point, while selectable 80 Hz and 100 Hz low cut filters on the thru outputs tidy up what your main monitors receive. Phase and gain controls help you lock in the perfect blend, and a switchable standby mode saves power between sessions. With locking combo inputs and footswitch toggling, it is built to work hard in demanding studios and home theatres alike.

• 300 Watt 10 Inch Studio Subwoofer - A powerful 300 watt amplifier driving a custom 10 inch driver delivers serious low end headroom, so you can monitor bass heavy material at realistic levels without the sub running out of steam or compressing.
• Front Firing and Downward Firing Configurations - Repositionable rubber feet let you choose between front firing accuracy or downward firing room coupling, adding up to 3 dB of extra output when you need it and helping you optimise performance for your specific room.
• Exclusive Dual Magnet Driver with Rigid Paper Cone - The custom dual ferrite magnet design and carefully selected rigid paper cone minimise distortion while maximising output, giving you tight, musical bass that reveals the true character of your mix instead of masking it with harmonics.
• Comprehensive Filtering and Connectivity - A sweepable 50 to 180 Hz high cut, selectable 80 / 100 Hz low cut on the thru outputs, phase and gain controls, locking XLR / quarter inch TRS combo inputs and footswitchable operation make it easy to integrate the CLA Sub into professional studios or home theatre systems.
