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.

Delivering speed and versatility of installation. Inspired by Creator Series.

Climate Series 3G uses an ingenious die-cast aluminium bracket. Lightweight, yet incredibly strong, its intuitive design allows the range’s two models to be positioned almost anywhere, with the minimum of hassle.
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.

Once positioned in its optimum location over the ‘kettle-like’ connector, a single substantial bolt secures the speaker in its desired position and holds it securely in place. 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.

A cabinet designed for total protection and superior audio performance.

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. After many hundreds of tests, to ensure there are no critical errors, Climate Series 3G received an IP66 rating, among the highest of weatherproof test results. This means users can deploy the hardy speakers with confidence that they will enjoy a lifetime of high-fidelity sound.

Reliability & performance, guaranteed

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.

• Salt spray tested to MIL-STD 810 Conducted on individual components through to full assemblies, ensuring longevity of materials and product
• UV Aging tested to double the length of any previous product Making sure cabinetry, bracket and all parts continue to look their best through install life
• Functional power tested at extreme temperatures Assuring exceptional audio performance in sub-zero and high ambient temperature environments
• Bracket weight holding tested Tested to 5x the maximum product weight, ensuring strong, reliable product mounting
• Drop tested to ISTA 1A Verifying product reaches installers in pristine condition
• Transit temperature tested Proving product and finishes can survive the rigour of transit

Articulate, powerful, full-range bass produced whatever the position.

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.

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.

Delivering an enhanced audio experience for the listener, Climate Series 3G utilises decades of acoustic experience and solid engineering principles, packaging them into an all-weather design that takes indoor performance outdoors.

RST II, C-CAM driver cones and powerful motor systems for total sonic performance.

Monitor Audio has been a world-leader in metal cone driver technology for over 40 years. The result of constantly innovating in this space, the 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.

The acoustic heart of all Monitor Audio speakers, for total realism.

The Gold Dome Tweeter is synonymous with Monitor Audio. Since it was first introduced in 1988, it has been a sign of the highest-quality, high-frequency performance.
To meet the requirements of discrete installations, 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.
Quality, they say, is always in the details, and the black C-CAM dome tweeter does detail in spades; whatever music is played using it sounds exactly as the artist intended. Furthermore, due to its use across most of Monitor Audio’s arsenal of custom installation models, timbre matching is effortless, and a ‘whole-house sound’ is easily achievable. With Monitor Audio, total performance is assured.

Who is Monitor Audio?

Starting in 1972 with the charismatic Mo Iqbal, Monitor Audio began loudspeaker design and production using tried and tested methods available at that time - plastic cone materials, fabric dome tweeters and reflex-loaded braced cabinets. The speakers were welcomed by enthusiasts both in the UK and throughout the World.
