Their design is inspired by the legacy of the 5C Sound Cubes used in virtually all-major studios for the last 25 years.\n\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eEngineering Objective \u003c\/b\u003e\nTo build a full range, rugged, mini-reference monitor to replace the older, aging, 5C Sound Cubes that are still in use worldwide, while offering an improved, more linear frequency response. A full year was spent studying all versions \u0026amp; revisions of the famous little 5C Sound Cubes. Research revealed that there were several driver versions released over the years with widely varying frequency response characteristics. We chose the smoothest, most linear, full-range version of those 5C models to use as our testing benchmark. Next we analyzed their response characteristics in an anechoic chamber and proceeded to implement design upgrades. Realizing the importance of replacing a respected \"industry-standard reference monitor\" we began by replicating its basic size, function, and sonic character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe wanted to take it up a notch though... \u003c\/b\u003e\nFirst, we addressed the Cabinet Design... The original 5C Sound Cubes were made of ½\" particleboard covered with a glue-on wood grain contact paper. We chose to use thicker, denser MDF board because of its high rigidity and inherent low-resonance characteristics. We started with a 165mm (6 1\/2\") sealed cube design with radiused edges. We then chose an elegant Polyurethane high gloss \"RETRO-CREAM\" finish. The originals had either screws or on later models plastic binding posts mounted on a recessed plastic cup. We upgraded to high-end nickel plated, machined solid metal binding posts (Dual banana spacing) mounted on a black anodized ,milled and silk-screened aluminum terminal plate. Next we added a 7mm thick neoprene pad embedded into the base of the cabinet to serve as a skid-resistant acoustic isolator. Additionally, for creative mounting situations, we recessed an industry standard 5\/8\"-27 mic stand mount into the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecond, We addressed the driver design... The originals were a basic 5\" stamped frame design. We designed a proprietary 5.25\" die cast aluminum frame driver\/cone assembly to exceed the performance of the originals. The mounting bezel is then polished for an elegant appearance. The paper cone, chosen for its musical character, is custom designed \u0026amp; crafted using the finest New Zealand pulp with mica fibers added for lighter weight \u0026amp; rigidity. The cloth surround is made in Japan to exacting uniform thickness tolerances. The Top Plate and T-Yoke of driver are made of Sumitomo 1008 low carbon steel enabling the highest modeled flux density in the gap. The magnets are Y- 40 GRADE (MIL-SPEC) yielding a 43oz. High Power-low distortion motor structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerformance Objective\u003c\/b\u003e\nStudios primarily use 2-way \u0026amp; 3-way larger monitors designed to represent a wide range reference viewpoint at higher listening levels. However, in this newly developing age of High Definition Audio, there is still a need to also hear what your mix will sound like when played back over small \"bass-challenged\" systems such as televisions, clock radios, computers, car stereos, iPod docking stations, etc. It is important to make mixing judgments based partially on listening to reference monitors that will not impart tonal anomalies caused by crossovers or inferior full range drivers. Particular attention is always paid to the critical mid-range vocal\/guitar\/keyboard areas. This is where having a full-range monitor without a crossover is truly revealing. Ten months of R\u0026amp;D comparative listening \u0026amp; tweaking went into the voicing of the AVANTONE MixCubes. The result is a very smooth sounding, full range upgrade from the original 5C Sound Cubes. Listening tests reveal that the MixCubes have a smooth, more open, transparent top end response with extended bass while maintaining their basic original character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAmplification \u0026amp; Wiring\u003c\/b\u003e\nRecommended power rating is 50-200 watts of solid state power or 10-100 watts of tube power. It is advisable to use a high quality studio-grade power amplifier. The metal binding posts on the rear of the speaker can accept bare wire, spade lugs, or single or dual banana plugs. It is best to use 12 -16 AWG wire for runs longer than 6 feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlacement\u003c\/b\u003e\nWhen positioning the AVANTONE MixCubes on stands or console bridges it is best to keep them at ear level and slightly angled in towards the engineer. Since they are shielded it is ok to place them near a CRT video monitor or TV without causing any problems. The bottom mic stand mounts will also allow you creative positioning options in unusual studio playback situations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AVANTONE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51466774315327,"sku":"1133","price":479.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/6931\/1551\/files\/1133_full.jpg?v=1759879127"},{"product_id":"cla-10-speaker-system","title":"CLA-10 Speaker System","description":"\u003cp\u003eAvantone Pro, in conjunction with the expertise of legendary mixer Chris Lord-Alge, have designed the most faithful reproduction of the world's most iconic studio monitor.

And unlike yesteryear's studio reference classic, the CLA-10A Limited Edition is an active loudspeaker; no independent power amp required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the \"white cone\" studio monitor was discontinued, the supply of aftermarket components have become more and more expensive and less and less available.

Using their global resources and decade of experience in driver construction, they have reproduced the components faithfully, updating the materials to comply with modern environmental requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AV10-MHF tweeter dome went through a difficult engineering process to get the exact phenolic resin doping to match the original performance curve. The AV10-MLF woofer uses custom-tooled mechanical parts that mirror the original. We worked closely with one of the original vendors of the original cone to get the exact same stiffness and weight, but upgraded the production process to create machine-pressed cones. Because of this, the CLA-10 marks the first time that a white cone-style speaker has been made available in sonically matched pairs!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most common questions asked about the CLA- 10As is which version of the originals are they based on, and the answer is: all of them! The CLA-10As have a \"VTPC\" knob (Variable Tissue Paper Control) allowing you to simulate the high-frequency dampening trick used on the original speakers\"covering the tweeters with tissue paper. This VTPC allows you to simulate anything from the Vertical \"m\" model to the horizontal \"Studio\" model and everything in between. No more debate over the best tissue paper to use \" VTPC has you covered \" and you'll save money on tissue paper in the long run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvantone Pro decided to stay traditional with a linear power supply implementing a massive, old-school toroidal transformer in order to maintain the legacy sound. The CLA- 10A uses a monolithic Class AB amplifier. At low power, THD is a phenomenal 0.005%; at rated load it is 0.1%, yielding excellent performance compared to class D amps.

However, in this newly developing age of High Definition Audio, there is still a need to also hear what your mix will sound like when played back over small \"bass-challenged\" systems such as televisions, clock radios, computers, car stereos, iPod docking stations, etc. It is important to make mixing judgments based partially on listening to reference monitors that will not impart tonal anomalies caused by crossovers or inferior full range drivers. Particular attention is always paid to the critical mid-range vocal\/guitar\/keyboard areas. This is where having a full-range monitor without a crossover is truly revealing. Ten months of R\u0026amp;D comparative listening \u0026amp; tweaking went into the voicing of the AVANTONE MixCubes. The result is a very smooth sounding, full range upgrade from the original 5C Sound Cubes.

We upgraded to high-end nickel plated, machined solid metal binding posts (Dual banana spacing) mounted on a black anodized ,milled and silk-screened aluminum terminal plate. Next we added a 7mm thick neoprene pad embedded into the base of the cabinet to serve as a skid-resistant acoustic isolator.

Their design is inspired by the legacy of the 5C Sound Cubes used in virtually all-major studios for the last 25 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEngineering Objective\u003c\/b\u003e\nTo build a full range, rugged, mini-reference monitor to replace the older, aging, 5C Sound Cubes that are still in use worldwide, while offering an improved, more linear frequency response. A full year was spent studying all versions \u0026amp; revisions of the famous little 5C Sound Cubes. Research revealed that there were several driver versions released over the years with widely varying frequency response characteristics. We chose the smoothest, most linear, full-range version of those 5C models to use as our testing benchmark. Next we analyzed their response characteristics in an anechoic chamber and proceeded to implement design upgrades. Realizing the importance of replacing a respected \"industry-standard reference monitor\" we began by replicating its basic size, function, and sonic character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe wanted to take it up a notch though...\u003c\/b\u003e\nFirst, we addressed the Cabinet Design... The original 5C Sound Cubes were made of ½\" particleboard covered with a glue-on wood grain contact paper. We chose to use thicker, denser MDF board because of its high rigidity and inherent low-resonance characteristics. We started with a 165mm (6 1\/2\") sealed cube design with radiused edges. We then chose an elegant Polyurethane high gloss \"RETRO-CREAM\" finish. The originals had either screws or on later models plastic binding posts mounted on a recessed plastic cup. We upgraded to high-end nickel plated, machined solid metal binding posts (Dual banana spacing) mounted on a black anodized ,milled and silk-screened aluminum terminal plate. Next we added a 7mm thick neoprene pad embedded into the base of the cabinet to serve as a skid-resistant acoustic isolator. Additionally, for creative mounting situations, we recessed an industry standard 5\/8\"-27 mic stand mount into the base.\n \nSecond, We addressed the driver design... The originals were a basic 5\" stamped frame design. We designed a proprietary 5.25\" die cast aluminum frame driver\/cone assembly to exceed the performance of the originals. The mounting bezel is then polished for an elegant appearance. The paper cone, chosen for its musical character, is custom designed \u0026amp; crafted using the finest New Zealand pulp with mica fibers added for lighter weight \u0026amp; rigidity. The cloth surround is made in Japan to exacting uniform thickness tolerances. The Top Plate and T-Yoke of driver are made of Sumitomo 1008 low carbon steel enabling the highest modeled flux density in the gap. The magnets are Y- 40 GRADE (MIL-SPEC) yielding a 43oz. High Power-low distortion motor structure.\n \n\u003cb\u003ePerformance Objective\u003c\/b\u003e\nStudios primarily use 2-way \u0026amp; 3-way larger monitors designed to represent a wide range reference viewpoint at higher listening levels. However, in this newly developing age of High Definition Audio, there is still a need to also hear what your mix will sound like when played back over small \"bass-challenged\" systems such as televisions, clock radios, computers, car stereos, iPod docking stations, etc. It is important to make mixing judgments based partially on listening to reference monitors that will not impart tonal anomalies caused by crossovers or inferior full range drivers. Particular attention is always paid to the critical mid-range vocal\/guitar\/keyboard areas. This is where having a full-range monitor without a crossover is truly revealing. Ten months of R\u0026amp;D comparative listening \u0026amp; tweaking went into the voicing of the Avantone MixCubes. The result is a very smooth sounding, full range upgrade from the original 5C Sound Cubes. Listening tests reveal that the MixCubes have a smooth, more open, transparent top end response with extended bass while maintaining their basic original character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAmplification \u0026amp; Wiring\u003c\/b\u003e\nRecommended power rating is 50-200 watts of solid state power or 10-100 watts of tube power.  It is advisable to use a high quality studio-grade power amplifier. The metal binding posts on the rear of the speaker can accept bare wire, spade lugs, or single or dual banana plugs. It is best to use 12 -16 AWG wire for runs longer than 6 feet.\u0026lt;\n \n\u003cb\u003ePlacement\u003c\/b\u003e\nWhen positioning the Avantone MixCubes on stands or console bridges it is best to keep them at ear level and slightly angled in towards the engineer. Since they are shielded it is ok to place them near a CRT video monitor or TV without causing any problems. The bottom mic stand mounts will also allow you creative positioning options in unusual studio playback situations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AVANTONE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51468515901759,"sku":"9445","price":479.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/6931\/1551\/files\/9445_full.jpg?v=1759892670"},{"product_id":"cla-sub","title":"CLA-Sub","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"69\" data-end=\"647\"\u003eThe Avantone Pro CLA-Sub is a powerful 300-watt studio subwoofer purpose-built for audio professionals who demand precision and impact in the low end.
