About The Monitor Audio Climate Series 3G CL2 S Outdoor Speakers
The Climate CL2 S is a compact two-way, highly-versatile wall-mountable speaker and despite its diminutive size, it packs a powerful sonic punch. Voiced and engineered by the Monitor Audio acoustic team in the same manner as any premium loudspeaker, Climate CL2 S delivers high-fidelity performance with consummate ease.
With advanced driver technology and powerful motor systems, along with an Auxiliary Bass Radiator (ABR) to extend the bass output – which is also ideal for external placement - and featuring the innovative 'Quik-Link' bracket system, Climate Small's contemporary design blends in as seamlessly with interiors as it does with exteriors.
Designed using Monitor Audio Group's Transparent Design Philosophy, the expertly crafted Climate Series 3G delivers innovative technologies and levels of detail in sound and product design usually found in Monitor Audio's premium high-fidelity loudspeakers. Climate Series 3G offers these same levels of performance and design outdoors and is the last word in highly-versatile weather-proof loudspeakers.
To ensure Climate Series 3G stays at its best for many years, outside and in all weather conditions, Monitor Audio's design team created a completely sealed cabinet enclosure. A one-piece moulded cabinet, made from dense ABS and reinforced with glass-fibre, protects the important elements within for a lifetime of use. A large Auxiliary Bass Radiator (ABR) and fully sealed front baffle housing the drive units, ensure the whole design can withstand the harshest of weather conditions.
Strong, Light & Powerful Mid Bass Drivers: Developed and honed over two-decades, RST II is a highly refined, precision tool, capable of being driven by the most powerful motor systems. The result: pistonic motion for total realism and clarity, and a precise high-fidelity, life-like sound that delivers a thrillingly enhanced audio experience.
MA Gold Dome Tweeter… with a Twist: Climate Series 3G features an enhanced gold C-CAM dome, but one coated in a deep black finish. The tweeter is still optimised to give the same high-fidelity, high-frequency performance as a regular gold C-CAM dome tweeter, it's just produced in deep black to match the black RST II bass-mid driver and, importantly, to provide ultra-discretion for internal or external speaker installation.
ABR – Extending Bass You Can Feel: Climate Series 3G's ABR works in complete harmony with the tweeter and bass-mid driver. Moving pistonically and in synchronicity with the air movement produced within the cabinet by the bass-mid driver, it extends the power handling for deeper, more powerful, highly controlled bass.
Speedy & Versatile Installation: Inspired by Monitor Audio's patented Quik-Link connector, found on the architectural Creator Series, the new system enables the speaker bracket to be pre-fitted to a wall, in either the vertical or horizontal plain. Speaker cables can be pre-fitted to the internal speaker connectors that are within the bracket itself – all neatly hidden inside and behind protective rubber seals to prevent ingress from the elements.
The 'Quik-Link' inspired bracket system on Climate Series 3G allows the speaker to rotate on its axis in almost any direction. This allows the sound to be easily directed into the desired location.
Reliability & Performance, Guaranteed: Climate Series 3G is the most rigorously tested product in Monitor Audio Group history, ensuring long lasting performance. Each model and finish of Climate Series 3G has been subjected to a specially devised suite of testing - at the harshest extremes. Climate Series 3G is designed and proven to be reliable and performant for years to come.
