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-W10/ 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 IA800-2C
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 satellite speakers 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-W10/ CLG-W12 subwoofer can cover an area between 1000 - 2000 square feet. We would
recommend placing the subwoofer in a central location in accordance with the other speakers.
To centralise the sound stage both 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 (CLGW-12)
400 x 400 x 310mm (CLGW-10)
Sand depth: 150mm (6”)

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.
CLG-W10 NOTE: There must be at least 100mm of
cabinet above ground level.
NOTE: Ensure the system is tested and working correctly before lling in around the subwoofer and cable tenches.
NOTE: The bass from the CLG-W10/ CLG-W12 will not be as full or prominent until the hole is lled in.
Installation
Please follow the following steps in the below section for burying the CLGW12 or CLGW10 in the ground. Alternitavley for
securing the CLGW10 to a hard oor refer to page 5.

4Connect cables to subwoofer. For 100/70v
lines connect to the black and red cables,
for conventional 8 ohm lines connect to the yellow
and black. Where black is the negative.
Connections
should be made
with either
silicone lled
wire connectors
or appropriate
weather proof junction box (not included).
Note: Ensure that no ‘-’ and ‘+’ strands are
touching each other as this will cause a short
circuit that could damage your amplifer.

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).
CLG140/ CLG160 - Wall Mount
CLG140/ CLG160 - Tree Mount
HINT: To assist in threading the speaker cable
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.

CLG-W10 Foot Options
The CLG-W10 comes with outrigger anchors to be used for securing the subwoofer
in place to the oor i.e. a decking area. There are three threaded inserts on
the subwoofer lid with the screws already tted. Remove the screws and then
reattach them with the outriggers.
NOTE: Screws for securing the outrigger anchors to the oor are not supplied and
should be selected according to the construction of the oor they will be going into.
System Setup
To power the system we would recommend using the IA800-2C amplier. For optimum performance from the system
download the Monitor Audio IA800-2C preset DSP settings from our website: monitoraudio.com
These preset DSP settings have been designed by Monitor Audio to bring the best performance from your satellite speakers
and subwoofer, 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.
NOTE: A maximum of 16 satellite speakers can be used per channel, or 3 subwoofers per channel.

Mono System
Go to the set up web page of the IA800-2C and load the MA presets onto the amplier.
Now go into the ‘Input/ Output Settings’ tab select the ‘CLG140/CLG160’ for the channel
you intend to use with your satellite speakers. For the other channel set this to the
corresponding preset for your subwoofer/ satellite combination (refer to page 5).
Set both channels to Mono, separate Control Zones (for independent channel volume
control) and the Amp mode to 70v.
Note: Due to the nature of garden listening Monitor Audio would recommend a
Mono system for the majority of installations.
