Avantone Pro has announced the CLA-Sub, a high-performance studio subwoofer that they say is designed for producers, mix engineers, and post-production professionals who demand massive low-frequency extension without sacrificing clarity or truth. A spokesperson told us, "The CLA-Sub delivers authoritative bass that remains clean, controlled, and honest at high volume."
Here's more details direct from the company...
Dual firing modes
The CLA-Sub is highly configurable to suit real-world rooms. Users can deploy the sub in either front-firing mode for the cleanest possible reproduction, or downward-firing mode to take advantage of floor coupling for an additional +3 dB of output. Reposition-able vibration-damping feet reduce mechanical coupling and sympathetic resonance, eliminating the need for aftermarket isolation solutions.Exclusive dual-magnet driver
At the heart of the CLA-Sub is an exclusive dual-magnet driver, engineered exclusively for Avantone Pro. Unlike subwoofers that inflate perceived loudness through distortion and harmonic coloration, the CLA-Sub was designed from the ground up to minimize distortion while dramatically increasing output. Its stacked dual-ferrite magnet structure provides exceptional power and control, while a specially selected rigid paper cone delivers fast transient response with minimal overtones -- resulting in a loud, clear, and trustworthy low end.Adaptable to any studio
Flexible studio integration is further supported by a sweepable Subwoofer High Cut crossover (50Hz - 180Hz), selectable Thru Low Cut filters (80 / 100 Hz) for connected monitors, plus onboard Phase and Volume controls. Locking XLR / ¼" TRS combo inputs ensure secure connections -- even under extreme low-frequency output. A Bypass Footswitch input allows for instant A/B comparison -- with and without the sub, and a switchable Auto-Standby mode places the CLA-Sub into low-power sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity.With the CLA-Sub, Avantone Pro delivers bass that moves air, reveals detail, and respects the integrity of any mix.
