Avantone CLA-Sub preps dual-firing low-end control

Bass heads finally have a valid excuse to annoy the neighbors again because Avantone Pro dropped the CLA-Sub for studio rats demanding serious low-end extension. This heavy cube sports a flexible cabinet design that lets users flip between front-firing or down-firing setups, depending on whether they want direct punch or floor-coupled rumble which boosts output levels roughly three decibels.

Internal components include a custom dual-ferrite magnet motor driving a stiff paper cone to minimize distortion while keeping transients snappy. The rig sits on movable dampening feet meant to kill mechanical resonance without forcing anyone to buy separate isolation pads.

Dialing in the sound involves twisting a sweepable frequency knob or setting specific filters for the main speakers to clear up the mud. Inputs use locking combo jacks while the back panel offers phase switches and volume dials. A handy bypass pedal jack allows for quick checks and the system enters sleep mode after thirty minutes of silence.

Getting this sub costs around thirteen hundred dollars in America or roughly seventeen hundred euros for European buyers. Stores are taking orders currently, but units start shipping to dealers sometime in April 2026.
