Avantone Pro - AV10 MHF

Restoring a historic monitoring system requires more than a simple mechanical replacement. With the AV10 MHF, Avantone has endeavoured to reproduce the high-frequency tweeter of the NS-10M with absolute fidelity, both acoustically and physically. This model is aimed at studios and users who want to preserve the original sound reference, without modifying the character or modern interpretation.

The AV10 MHF is the result of extensive reverse engineering. Every parameter of the original tweeter has been analysed to reproduce its behaviour across the entire frequency range. The result is a loudspeaker whose voicing corresponds point for point to that of the historic NS-10Ms, with the same analytical reading of the upper end of the spectrum that made the reputation of these loudspeakers in studios around the world.

Unlike the second-hand parts available on the market, which are often expensive and whose actual condition is uncertain, the AV10 MHF offers a new and reliable solution. Avantone has taken advantage of this re-creation to update certain materials and internal components, in order to improve longevity while complying with current environmental standards. This approach results in a tweeter that is durable, stable over time and free from problems associated with ageing adhesives or suspensions.

In practical terms, the AV10 MHF is physically and dimensionally identical to the original tweeter. It is a direct replacement, with no need to adapt the cabinet or modify the crossover. Installation is straightforward, preserving the mechanical and acoustic integrity of the loudspeaker. It is compatible with both the original Yamaha NS-10M and the Avantone CLA-10 and CLA-10A loudspeakers.
