Wiring The Speakers And Subwoofer; Speaker Positioning - Monitor Audio CLIMATE GARDEN Série Guide D'installation

Wiring the Speakers and Subwoofer

The CLG140/ CLG160 speakers work off a 100v/ 70v system and CLG-W12 can work off a 100v/ 70v system or can be hooked
up to a conventional amplifier (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 different voltages will
work just the same, although the amplifier 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. offset 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 amplifier 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.
