The latest addition to the "CLA" family, the CLA-100 carries the sonic DNA of reference studio amplifiers while adopting a contemporary, robust, and efficient design. Similar to its more powerful sibling, it favors a class AB topology and a MOSFET output stage to deliver precise highs, clear mids, and controlled lows, all in an easy-to-integrate 1U rack format.
The CLA-100 is aimed at mixing, editing, and post-production control rooms seeking reliable amplification for passive monitors. Its fanless operation and ultra-linear response enable long sessions without fatigue, while the bridge mode provides the power needed for more demanding speakers.
The oversized toroidal transformer and high-capacity Japanese filter capacitors ensure stable power delivery, guaranteeing dynamic range and low distortion. The MOSFET power stage ensures silky reproduction of the upper spectrum and a coherent soundstage.
Fully convection cooled, the CLA-100 avoids any air turbulence and no moving parts disturb connections or critical listening. This architecture contributes to the device's longevity in professional environments.
With its balanced XLR inputs, "Link" outputs for daisy-chaining, and screw terminals for speakers, patchbay integration is immediate. Its 19-inch rack - 1U chassis optimizes space without sacrificing performance.
