Product Description

The Avantone Pro CLA-400 Studio Reference Amplifier is a dynamic, high output, high resolution, full-range system built the old school way; 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. The CLA-400 implements a classic bipolar transistor design for robust bottom end.

In a standard 3U rack mount chassis, this amplifier can generate over 360 watts per channel into an 8 ohm load, making it perfect for medium to large speakers in a studio environment. The CLA-400 not only uses no-compromise components, but is also convection cooled – no fan noise, so it can be used in the same room as the monitors.

The CLA-400 was designed to be paired with large passive monitors that demand the highest amounts of power. Very low distortion, steady performance under harsh conditions, and an open and transparent sound make this an obvious choice for discerning studios requiring serious dynamic range.

ZERO FAN NOISE

The CLA-400 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 400 watts into 8 ohms and can run at one third power without thermal fault. The CLA-400 has zero fan noise, as it’s convection cooled — which makes it perfectly suited for control room installation.

FEATURES:

  • Class A/B power amp that features classic analog sound
  • A perfect companion for passive speakers old or new
  • Great compliment to an existing hi-fi system as well
  • No onboard DSP to artificially color the sound
  • Analog signal path that most accurately represents the original signal source.
  • Large VU Meters for visual monitoring
  • No onboard fans to add to ambient room noise
  • 3 modes of operation; stereo, bridge or parallel

I would like to thank VK for the wonderful sales assistance, service and prices. This was my first purchase with you and it won't be my last. I only wish I'd discovered you years ago!

In almost 20 years in Pro audio buying, never did I receive a unit so well packed and exactly as described. Works flawlessly. The whole process has been so smooth. I will never hesitate to do business with you guys in the future and will recommend you to everyone I know.

This was my first experience buying something from Vintage King (although I surf the "used" categories on the website frequently!), and, despite being on the other side of the world, I had absolutely no trouble and everything went very smoothly.
Phil T.
The speed of delivery exceeded my expectations! I was VERY pleased that my shipment arrived in time for a scheduled vocal tracking session. The packing insured that my order arrived safely. And the sales staff responded quickly to questions regarding the product.

My experience with Vintage King was excellent. The order was here fast considering it was out of stock. The sales person had SKB send it to me directly and I couldn't have been more pleased.
Michael D.
From the minute I placed my order I was kept well-informed through each step in your process. Even though I was buying a comparatively modest piece of gear, your attention to detail made me feel like I was purchasing a six-figure mixing desk.
