Introduction
Bring high delity sound to the great outdoors with Monitor Audio’s latest custom installation solution, the Climate Garden
Series. Designed from the ground up with high quality components and construction to take whatever the weather can throw at
them. Aesthetically they will blend seamlessly into the garden environment. To get the most out of your new speakers, please
read this manual thoroughly before you begin installation.

Wiring the Speakers and Subwoofer
The CLG140/ CLG160 speakers work o a 100v/ 70v system and CLG-W12 can work o a 100v/ 70v system or can be hooked
up to a conventional amplier (8 Ohm tap). NOTE: This will not work if connected to the subwoofer output at phono level. A
70v Line system is mainly used in the U.S whereas the U.K and Europe use 100v line systems. The two dierent voltages will
work just the same, although the amplier may not deliver its full power into 100v as this will be limited by the voltage rails
-unless it is switchable. The 8 Ohm tap is conventional speaker impedance and it means only one sub per channel can be used,
in contrast to using 100/ 70v line, where you can use multiple subs in a system. It is transformer isolated, and it will protect
the speaker from D.C. oset or D.C. amp faults.
The speakers should be connected in parallel from a single cable run per channel. We also recommend using the Crown CDi
2000 amplier and our bespoke DSP settings.
Speaker Positioning
The Climate Garden Series is designed to deliver a seamless, evenly dispersed audio experience in an ‘open air’ environment.
To minimize the occurrence of ‘hot spots’ and ‘nulls’ as you move around the outdoor entertainment area, an array of multiple
satellite speakers can be strategically placed for even coverage. The CLG140/ CLG160 can cover an area up to 250 square feet
and should be positioned an equal distance from each other and the listening area, or as close as possible. A single CLG-W12
can cover an area between 1000 - 2000 square feet. We would recommend placing the subwoofer in a centralised location in
accordance with the other speakers.
To centralise the sound stage high and low speakers can be used.

ENGLISH

Dig a hole in the intended location for the
subwoofer and ll the base of the hole with
sharp sand. This is to improve stability, assist in
levelling and prevent the sub from rocking in place.
Approximate hole dimensions (H x W x D):
600 x 600 x 400mm
Sand depth: 150mm (6”)
3
1 2
Sharp sand
Dig a shallow trench along the path of where
you wish to run the subwoofer’s speaker
cables. If using the CLG140/ CLG160 speakers there
is no reason the cables for these cannot be doubled
up in the same trench as the subwoofer’s speaker
cables.
Place the subwoofer in the hole and push it
into the sand so that it stays still and can be
levelled/ made square.
NOTE: Ensure the system is tested and working correctly before lling in around the subwoofer and cable tenches.
NOTE: The bass from the CLG-W12 will not be as full or prominent until the hole is lled in.

lines (such as the Crown CDi 2000) connect
to the black and red cables, for conventional 8 ohm
lines connect to the yellow and black. Where black

First screw the threaded section supplied
(i) onto the CLG140/ CLG160 speaker, once
secure thread the cables attached to the speaker
through the hole in the spike before attaching the
spike to the threaded section (ii).
Dig a shallow trench along the path of
where you wish to run the speaker cables.
1Once assembled, the speaker
can now be installed in the
desired location.
The pivot angle of the CLG140/
CLG160 can be adjusted using
an allen key.
Note: It is advised to hold the
speaker from the spike whilst doing
this so that no pressure is placed on
the pivoting section.

Feed the speaker cable into the bracket
and out through the cable exit hole. Place
the CLG140/ CLG160 (i) onto the bracket and t the
grub screws (ii) but do not fully tighten. Adjust the
CLG140/ CLG160 to the desired direction/ angle
and tighten the four mount screws (refer to step 1)
followed by the grub screws (ii) to secure in place.
Fix the base of the mount to the intended
location with a single screw (i), then
insert the ball xing arm and top half of the mount
assembly, attach loosely with four screws (ii).

through the mount we would advise having the
ball xing arm angled upwards.

A tree belt (not included) can now be
threaded through the opening in the sides
of the mount. Wrap this around the intended tree and
fasten the belt tightly to prevent movement.
Assemble the two halves of the mount
with the ball xing arm in the middle and
secure it together using the supplied nuts and bolts
supplied with the mount.

System Setup
To power the system we would recommend using the Crown CDi 2000 amplier. For optimum performance from the system
download the Monitor Audio Crown CDi 2000 preset DSP settings from our website: www.monitoraudio.com
These preset DSP settings have been designed by Monitor Audio to bring the best performance from your satellite speakers
and sub, with a crossover in place to direct only the low frequencies to the subwoofer and mid-highs to the satellites. This will
allow each component to focus on what is does best, adding clarity to the system and also protecting the satellite speakers
from potentially harmful/ overbearing sub frequencies.
Mono System
With Monitor Audio’s preset DSP settings installed (refer to page 6 and 7) and the ‘CLG DUAL’ preset selected on the amplier
the Crown CDi 2000 will send mid-high frequencies to channel 2 and bass frequencies to channel 1. Connect the sub to channel
1 and the satellites in parallel to channel 2 (expandable to a maximum of 30 speakers).
Note: Due to the nature of garden listening Monitor Audio would recommend a Mono system for the majority of
installations.

Stereo System
With Monitor Audio’s preset DSP settings installed (refer to page 6 and 7) and the ‘CLG SATS’ preset selected on the amplier
the Crown CDi 2000 will play the left audio through Channel 1 and right through Channel 2 (both expandable to a maximum of
30 speakers). A separate amplier can be connected with Monitor Audio’s ‘CLG SUBS’ preset (refer to the next section below)
for the addition of any subwoofers.
Monitor Audio Preset DSP List
CLG DUAL
Channel 1 has a low pass lter for the subwoofer and Channel 2 has a high pass lter for the satellite speakers.
CLG SATS
Channel 1 and 2 have high pass lters for the satellite speakers (intended for stereo systems).
CLG SUBS
Channel 1 and 2 have low pass lters for additional subwoofers (for use with either multiple sub’s or a single sub in addition
