Over 200 watts per channel of fan-free, old-school Class AB power for your monitors. The Avantone Pro CLA-200 Studio Reference Amplifier is a 2U Class AB power amp designed to pair with Avantone CLA-10 monitors, and strong enough for most demanding passive speakers. It has VU-style meters, Japanese components and a toroidal linear power supply.
Why customers choose it
- Serious power: 200 W per channel into 8 ohms, 300 W into 4 ohms, 500 W bridged into 8 ohms.
- Silent: convection cooled – no fan noise, so it can sit in the same room as the monitors.
- Clean and open sound: THD and intermodulation distortion under 0.1%, damping factor 250, S/N over 103 dB (A-weighted).
- Studio-style front panel: generous meters for checking levels.
- Flexible: three modes (Stereo, Parallel (one input to both outputs) and Bridged Mono), balanced inputs and a link output; protection circuits disconnect the speakers on overheating, short circuit or DC at the output.
Who it is for
Studios with CLA-10 Passive, original white-cone or other passive monitors, mixing and mastering rooms, and engineers who want headroom without fan noise.
