Description
The CLA-Sub's repositionable feet employ a special vibration-dampening material that minimizes the mechanical coupling between the CLA-Sub in your room to reduce sympathetic vibrations that can color the playback of your mix. No aftermarket acoustic isolation pads required!
Exclusive dual-magnet driver for clarity and volume
At the heart of CLA-Sub is Avantone's custom dual-magnet driver, not available in any other speaker. Every element of the custom driver was designed to minimize distortion while increasing output volume. Other manufacturers' subwoofers will often deliver as much low-end as possible through deliberate distortion and coloration. This approach can cause signals to be perceived as louder, when they in fact just have more harmonic content through distortion.
Avantone finds this practice to be at best dishonest, and at worst an insult to your music. Avantone took the opposite approach with their custom driver. Avantone did all they could to ensure it delivers clean, clear bass at shockingly high volume.
First, its stacked dual ferrite magnet design grants CLA-Sub the power to push and pull air with more efficiency and control than comparable drivers. To avoid harmonics and overtones, we experimented with several cone substrates before settling on a particularly rigid paper that minimizes distortions while still providing a quick, snappy transient response. With CLA-Sub, you'll hear the low end of your tracks with clarity and honesty.
Configuration options for the most demanding studios
A sweepable high-cut control lets you dial in your crossover point from 50-180 Hz; the output low-cut filter lets you trim the fat at 80 or 100 Hz for the signal sent to your studio monitors. You also get phase and gain controls. A switchable power-saving standby mode is available, putting CLA-Sub into a power-efficient sleep mode after 30 minutes of inactivity.
Locking XLR / 1/4" TRS combo inputs keep your audio connections tight and secure, even when those 808 kicks are rattling the fillings in your teeth. CLA-Sub's operation can be toggled using a footswitch for quick A/B comparisons of your mixes with and without the sub.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
