Monitor Audio introduces Climate Series 3G Outdoor Speakers

Designed using Monitor Audio Group’s Transparent Design Philosophy, the Climate Series 3G delivers exemplary acoustic performance and design in two weatherproof loudspeakers. Climate Medium (CL2 M) and Climate Small (CL2 S) are not only capable of delivering indoor sound outdoors, their rugged designs are also ideal for use indoors, whether that’s areas of homes with high humidity, or retail spaces, restaurants, and gyms.

Acoustic Innovation

C-CAM black Dome Tweeter: Monitor Audio’s metal domed tweeter has been continually developed since it first appeared in 1982. Constant refinement has made it a precision instrument, capable of delivering clarity, realism, and detail. It plays a key role in ensuring Climate Series 3G delivers the pristine clarity expected of the best premium speakers for inside and outside. However, to meet the requirements of discreet installations, Climate Series 3G features an enhanced gold C-CAM dome that is coated in a deep black finish.
Bass-Mid Driver: Monitor Audio has been a leader in metal cone driver technology for over 40 years. Its Rigid Surface Technology II (RST II) has become a staple acoustic drive unit technology. 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.
Auxiliary Bass Radiator: One of the most significant acoustic and design features of Climate Series 3G is the large, sealed Auxiliary Bass Radiator (ABR) on the rear of each model. The concave ABR panel, detailed with Monitor Audio’s signature Hex pattern, is a key part of the acoustic package. Essentially working like a sealed port tube, it prevents ingress from the elements yet allows the bass to reach lower frequencies and deliver a satisfyingly full low-end performance, just as you would enjoy from a traditional ported design.
Crossover Design: Completing the total system approach of the Climate Series 3G and its formidable acoustic delivery is the expertly crafted crossover. Designed, voiced and tuned by Monitor Audio’s in-house acoustic engineering team, the crossover uses a selection of high-quality conductors and capacitors to ensure the purest signal delivery to each drive unit.

Features

Sealed Enclosure: To ensure Climate Series 3G performs 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 molded cabinet, made from dense ABS and reinforced with glass fiber, 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.
IP66 Rating: After hundreds of tests to ensure there are no critical errors, Climate Series 3G received an IP66 rating, among the highest of weather-proof test results. This means users can deploy the hardy speakers with confidence that they will enjoy a lifetime of high-fidelity sound whatever the weather.
Quik-Link Bracket System: Climate Series 3G uses a die-cast aluminum bracket. Lightweight, yet incredibly strong, its intuitive design allows the range’s two models to be positioned almost anywhere, with the minimum of hassle. The bracket design allows a Climate Series 3G speaker to be rotated through 180 degrees in both the vertical and horizontal plane — so it can be aimed into the desired location, whether that’s in a restaurant, commercial space, or outdoor patio.
