Monitor Audio introduces all new CLIMATE Outdoor all-weather speakers…… STYLE AND PERFORMANCE - RAIN OR SHINE



By Gary Reber


The new range comprises three two-way satellites: the CL50, CL60 and CL80, using  5”, 6” and 8” drivers respectively and a 1” CCAM tweeter.  The fourth all-weather monitor, the CL60-T2 is a single stereo 6” driver design, featuring dual 1” CCAM tweeters.

All four CLIMATE models are loaded with driver  technology derived from Monitor Audio’s globally respected residential speaker ranges, delivering clear full range sound, even at high levels.

 

In each CLIMATE model, Monitor Audio’s precision-engineered C-CAM bass and 1” C-CAM high frequency drivers are protected by a robust, sealed, UV rated polypropylene enclosure, available in a finely-textured white or black finish.


Smart weather-proof aluminum grilles enhance each CLIMATE cabinet, which is mounted to a rugged bracket, designed for 180º of horizontal or vertical rotation in small non-slip increments. For added flexibility, a supplied installation wedge advances the angle of rotation by a further 15º if necessary. 
 

The CLIMATE range may be installed in any combination to provide wide and even dispersion of full-range sound over large areas. Each cabinet’s low frequency response is augmented by an Auxiliary Bass Radiator (ABR), which supplies an improved bass punch in open spaces.   With the advent of Monitor Audio’s versatile CLIMATE range, no environment is beyond the reach of great sound, whatever the weather!

* What is C-CAM? Ceramic-Coated Aluminum/Magnesium – it’s an innovative material originally developed by the aerospace industry for use as blades in jet engines. It exhibits ideal qualities for use as a driver dome, avoiding the ‘break-up’ or bending modes of more conventional materials. The dome remains rigid and works more like a pure piston comfortably up to 40KHz. Increased efficiency and clarity and reduced distortion result.

 

Monitor Audio is a wholly British owned and managed loudspeaker designer and manufacturer. Since 1972 it has been at the leading edge of loudspeaker design and technology, perfecting the implementation of metal based drivers. It is renowned for exemplary speaker cabinet construction and finish.
