CLA-10 Passives: For Mixes That Translate In the 1980s, a certain small nearfield monitor became ubiquitous on the console meter bridges of studios worldwide. Instantly recognizable by its compact black cabinet and white woofer, this compact 2-way speaker was prized by legions of engineers for its ability to reveal flaws in their recordings. One of these engineers was Chris Lord-Alge, who chalked up countless hits using these speakers as a recording and mix reference. Now, Sweetwater is delighted to present the Avantone Pro Chris Lord-Alge CLA-10 Passive studio monitors, the definitive version of this studio classic. Through arduous research into the originals and meticulous attention to sonic detail, those classic monitors have been optimized for a new generation of recording engineers.Re-creating a classic To develop the CLA-10 Passive, Avantone worked closely with Chris Lord-Alge to re-create the monitor speaker that has been omnipresent in world-class studios for over four decades.
