CLA Nx offers music producers and engineers the unique opportunity to experience the renowned Mix LA studio control room, crafted by Grammy-winning mixer Chris Lord-Alge, through any pair of headphones. This plugin faithfully recreates the acoustic environment of Mix LA, allowing users to monitor mixes with remarkable accuracy and make informed mixing decisions regardless of their physical location. By combining expert studio design with advanced spatial audio technology, CLA Nx ensures that headphone mixes translate reliably across various sound systems.

The plugin models Chris Lord-Alge’s complete monitoring setup, including his signature NS10-modeled CLA-10 nearfield monitors, custom Ocean Way farfield speakers, and his trusted subwoofer system. It even replicates the boombox model used to check how mixes perform on small speakers. This detailed acoustic simulation provides an immersive three-dimensional listening experience, capturing depth, stereo imaging, low-end response, and reverb characteristics with precision. CLA Nx uses Waves' Nx spatial audio technology, incorporating elements such as channel crosstalk, inter-aural delays, early reflections, and head motion tracking to deliver realistic audio reproduction.

Designed by premier studio designer Vincent Van Hoff, Mix LA has been a creative hub for top artists since 2008, making CLA Nx an invaluable tool for replicating a professional mixing environment. The plugin supports head tracking via webcam or a dedicated Bluetooth device, enhancing the immersive spatial effects and providing a natural 'out-of-head' listening experience. Whether your physical mixing space lacks acoustic treatment or you want an additional trusted reference, CLA Nx delivers an expertly calibrated monitoring environment directly to your headphones.
