Monitor Audio CLG-W12 In-Ground Subwoofer

Experience outdoor soundscapes like never before with the Monitor Audio CLG-W12 In-Ground Subwoofer. An audiological marvel built for the elements, the CLG-W12 brings your garden to life with more than just flora and fauna; it introduces the magic of music into an outdoor environment, redefining your outdoor entertaining experience.

Painstakingly optimised for discreet sub-surface installation, this cutting-edge product features an internally loaded 12" C-CAM driver housed in a waterproof, rotationally-moulded polymer enclosure. Aptly termed a 'sonic garden gnome', only its domed output port peeks from beneath the soil, effortlessly pumping out potent bass frequencies that blend with the mids and highs from your CLG140/CLG160 satellites.

This subwoofer is effortlessly powered from a single amplifier channel at 4 ohms, offering a seamless sound delivery that rivals even the most elite home audio systems. And the CLG-W12's flexibility doesn't stop there. You could install the subwoofer within a planter box to boost the bass performance of your all-weather cabinet speakers or, to cover larger garden spaces, simply add amplifier channels, subwoofers, and satellites.

From patio parties to poolside get-togethers, deck soirees to garden gatherings, Monitor Audio's CLG-W12 is poised to revolutionise your outdoor acoustics with its punchy, extended bass delivery. Truly, this is the epitome of garden installation, a powerful component that not only embellishes your ambient environment with the beauty of sound but does so while maintaining a minimal footprint and never compromising on structural integrity or aesthetic appeal.

Features:

  1. Sub-Surface Installation: Optimised for sub-surface installation, the CLG-W12 can be discreetly installed in your garden, with only its domed output port visible above the surface. This makes it an ideal aspect of any garden aesthetic.

  2. Internally Loaded 12" C-CAM Driver: This special mechanism that sits within a waterproof rotationally-moulded polymer enclosure helps the CLG-W12 deliver a powerful, taut bass that blends smoothly with the surrounding satellites' mids and highs.

  3. 70/100 V Line Directive: This feature allows for longer cable runs (over 30ft) and adding more subwoofers to your system without sound loss. Moreover, the satellites can be connected to the CLG-W12, one after the other.

  4. System Expansion: Enhance your garden space by adding amplifier channels, subwoofers, and satellites.

  5. Enhanced Planter Box Installation: Customize your patio or deck by blending deep bass frequencies with the CL Series all-weather cabinet speakers.

  6. Ingress Protection Rating (IP54): This guarantees the product's durability, even in the harshest weather scenarios.

Benefits:

  1. Small Space, Big Sound: This subwoofer takes minimal space in your garden, requiring only a small soil patch for installation. Despite its size, this audio device delivers big and lush sound in an outdoor environment.

  2. Full-Range Sound: With a frequency response from 30 Hz to 30 kHz, the CLG-W12 offers a wide and controlled frequency response, enriching your outdoor sound experience.

  3. Subtle Design: With a dark brown finish that blends with the garden landscape, the CLG-W12 is the ideal blend of functionality and aesthetics.

  4. Flexibility: Whether you're looking to cover a larger area, add more bass to your cabinet speakers, or provide stereo operation by creating left/right zones, the CLG-W12's design enables you to adapt to different needs and preferences.

  5. Robust & Water Resistant: Designed to withstand tough environmental conditions, its strong, waterproof structure ensures that your music can play, rain or shine.

  6. Authentic Audio Experience: Utilising award-winning hi-fi technology, the CLG-W12 replicates the vibe and feel of an in-house music system, creating a mesmerising outdoor audio experience.

This has really elevated my listening experience as the playback is flawless every time. The integration through the app though is where this streamer excels. The app is lightning fast. The sound can be a tad bright with certain types of music however with the countless amount of EQ settings that can be adjusted and saved (differently) for each and every input provides the ability to get my right sound each and every time. paired with the Advance Paris A10 amplifier its perfect!

The Black Pearl Power Cable is a pretty substantial piece of kit, superbly constructed - it beats the usual black kettle lead hands down on looks and construction. It is however, fairly stiff so you need to allow it to hang in graceful arcs - no sharp bends. Being heavy it also needs a little support so it doesn’t drag on sockets at either end of the cable. Has it made a difference in the sound? Well, I have made so many changes all at once that I cannot definitively say if it has or not, but I am pretty sure that those electrons are having a whale of a time running along the conductors in the cable, and this hobby is all about joy!

The Cinema 30 is the direct replacement for the SR8015, but it is chalk n cheese in terms of sound & build quality! The 120fps issue switching between the PS5 & XBox Series X is gone via the VS3003 8K switcher to the one 8K HDMI input - all HDMI inputs are 8K@ 60kHz or 4K 120kHz/fps! I bit the bullet and shelled out for the Bass Management & Control add-ons to DIRAC product @ $AUD951.54 and the results are astounding compared to the Audyssey room correction of the SR-8015. Currently using a 7.2.4 setup as it's not possible to do 7.4.6 yet. The Cinema 30 is a GREAT looking and sounding piece of hardware, handles DSD128 multichannel tracks via HDMI from the Reavon UBR-X200 effortlessly & DSD64 multichannel from the Eversolo DMP-A6 Masters edition also via HDMI. I wasn't expecting DSD128 to work but VERY happy that it does. I do miss the analogue multi-channel input that the SR-8015 & my older Yamaha units have, so that the DAC on the Reavon can do the conversion & output in analog. I am unable to compare via a shootout between the two units to determine if there are any audible differences to me. Well worth the cost of the upgrade❣️❣️ Many thanks to Vaughan for his quality, no-nonsense expert advice, throughout the long fault analysis & attempts to rectify of the 8015 by the authorized repairer and organizing the replacement unit. I purchased the SR-8015 elsewhere before I knew about the team @ The Audio Tailor & have never looked back.

The sound stage is open with lots of space around each instrument and the stereo imaging is great. Another thing I really like is the ease with which I can stream music (which my previous amp couldn’t do). I don’t even need to turn on the amp. I simply select the H120 in my streaming channel and hit play. It wakes the H120 and starts playing. Here too, the sound is excellent. I’m very happy with this purchase and the people at Audio Tailor have been great to deal with.
