Founded in 2003 as Avant Electronics by Sue and Ken Avant in Upland, California, the company rebranded as Avantone Pro in 2011 after a management change that relocated operations to New York. The brand occupies a distinctive niche in the pro audio world: studio-grade microphones, monitors, headphones, and amplifiers engineered for professional performance at accessible price points. Their CV-12 multi-pattern tube condenser microphone, featuring a 6072A tube and nine polar patterns, has earned a loyal following among recording engineers, while the CK-7+ large-diaphragm FET condenser serves as a versatile studio workhorse.

Avantone Pro is perhaps best known for the MixCube, a compact single-driver reference monitor used in studios worldwide to check how mixes translate across playback systems. The MixCube has become a staple alongside high-end monitors in both home and commercial studios. The company's CLA series — developed in collaboration with Grammy-winning mix engineer Chris Lord-Alge — includes the CLA-10 passive and active studio monitors, which revive the legendary "white cone" near-field monitor format, along with companion power amplifiers like the CLA-200. The Planar line of open-back planar magnetic headphones rounds out the product range, targeting mixing and mastering applications.

All Avantone microphones undergo 100% inspection in the USA. The company distributes globally through RAD Global Distribution, with offices spanning New York, Chicago, and international locations.

Avantone has 52 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Active & Passive Monitors, Condenser Microphones, and Dynamic Microphones. Their gear is featured by 73 artists, with the strongest followings in Electronic, Pop, and Rock. Notable users include Anthony Rodriguez, Robert Plant, and Mac DeMarco. Avantone's catalog spans the full price spectrum — from entry-level options to high-end flagships.
