Monitor Audio CL2 M is the larger model in the current Climate Series 3G: a passive, 2-way, IP66-rated wall-mountable loudspeaker designed for demanding outdoor and indoor installations. It is packaged and sold as a manufacturer-defined pair, with Black and White finish variants.
Each speaker combines a 6-inch C-CAM RST II bass-mid driver, a 25 mm C-CAM black-dome tweeter and an Auxiliary Bass Radiator (ABR) in a sealed weather-resistant cabinet. Monitor Audio publishes a 42 Hz–30 kHz on-wall response (-6 dB), 85.5 dB installed sensitivity, 110 dB maximum peak SPL and 100 W continuous power handling.

IP66 — the actual environmental rating
Climate Series 3G carries a verified IP66 ingress-protection rating. Monitor Audio describes the sealed enclosure as protected against dust and powerful water jets and subjects the Climate 3G platform to rigorous environmental testing.
IP66 should remain the published truth rather than being flattened into a generic “waterproof” label. The rating does not mean the loudspeaker is intended for submersion, and project suitability still depends on mounting location, cable routing, exposure and applicable installation requirements.
6-inch C-CAM RST II platform
CL2 M steps up from the CL2 S's 4-inch bass-mid driver to a 6-inch C-CAM RST II bass-mid driver. Monitor Audio publishes a lower on-wall response limit of 42 Hz, 85.5 dB installed sensitivity and 110 dB maximum peak SPL.
The high-frequency driver is a 25 mm C-CAM black-dome tweeter. The crossover between the bass-mid and tweeter sections is published at 2.6 kHz.
Auxiliary Bass Radiator instead of an open port
Low-frequency extension is supported by an Auxiliary Bass Radiator (ABR). The passive radiator moves in response to pressure changes generated by the active bass-mid driver, providing a controlled low-frequency system without relying on a conventional open bass-reflex port through the weather-resistant enclosure.
That architecture is particularly relevant in outdoor spaces where low-frequency energy receives less reinforcement from surrounding room boundaries.
Quik-Link-inspired mounting system
The Climate Series 3G die-cast Quik-Link-inspired bracket can be pre-fitted to a wall in a vertical or horizontal plane. Speaker cable can be terminated to connectors housed inside the bracket, with protective rubber seals helping shield the connection area from environmental ingress.
After attachment, the speaker can rotate on its axis to direct sound toward the required listening area. This allows much of the bracket and cable work to be completed before the loudspeaker itself is fitted, which is useful in new-build, pre-wire and staged-installation workflows.
Amplifier matching
CL2 M is rated at 6 ohms nominal with a published minimum impedance of 4.8 ohms across 20 Hz–20 kHz. Continuous speaker power handling is 100 W (CTA 426-B).
Monitor Audio separately publishes 200 W recommended amplifier power, specified as RMS with a music signal. The 100 W and 200 W figures describe different manufacturer-defined measurements and should not be merged into a single generic wattage specification.

CL2 M or CL2 S?
| Decision point | CL2 S | CL2 M |
|---|---|---|
| Bass-mid driver | 4 in C-CAM RST II | 6 in C-CAM RST II |
| Frequency response | 56 Hz–30 kHz, on-wall (-6 dB) | 42 Hz–30 kHz, on-wall (-6 dB) |
| Sensitivity | 84 dB installed | 85.5 dB installed |
| Maximum peak SPL | 108 dB | 110 dB |
| Continuous power handling | 70 W | 100 W |
| Recommended amplifier power | 150 W | 200 W |
| Dimensions | 247 × 140 × 217 mm | 332 × 190 × 240 mm |
| Weight each | 2.7 kg | 4.1 kg |
Choose CL2 S when compact physical scale is the priority. Choose CL2 M when the mounting surface can accommodate the larger enclosure and the system calls for its additional published low-frequency extension, sensitivity and output capability. Both retain the same IP66 rating and Climate Series 3G mounting architecture.
Finish, SKU and GTIN identification

Important purchase detail: CL2 M is packaged and sold by Monitor Audio as a pair. The pair is the manufacturer's normal sell unit; it is not a retailer-created multipack.
Warranty
Monitor Audio's current Climate Series 3G product page supports a 5-year warranty. This current warranty supersedes older internal material that listed a lifetime term for CL2 M.
