MONTARBO SPEAKERS
“When you want the best”
The very first Montarbo powered speaker was released in 1965, but
it was back in the early fifties that this proud Italian company started
to build its first audio products, beginning a process of evolution and
excellence that continues to this day. It’s equipment so innovative
and unique that Montarbo is now famous worldwide, tested in the
harshest live concert environments and research laboratories
pushing the boundaries of audio research and electro-acoustics.
Montarbo is characterised by easy and fast setups utilising the best
possible interface between speaker and amplifi er with a ‘plug-andgo’
ease of use philosophy.

Made in Italy
The shape of this one piece cabinet made from high density polyethylene includes 6 fly points which ensure flexible, rapid and safe assembling. Weight to performance ratio makes it
the ideal choice for touring systems, and makes its use in fixed installations easier. When used as the main system for live music performances, theatre, conferences, public address, or
as a stage monitor, W400A proves itself to be an exceptionally accurate, highly versatile system, providing a rich and broad range of sound experiences. The custom made components
operate in complete synergy with the dedicated electronic circuitry:

“There are no mistakes with the Montarbo. It’s a well-presented
package with the hallmarks of a product built on quality. Well built,
powerful, lightweight.” Grahame Harrison Audio Technology Magazine

The W17A provides wider frequency response and a 15” neodymium magnet woofer set
in a larger cabinet. The W14A and W17A have the same unique and innovative design as
the W400A but with greater output and performance. Rated at 600 watts of continuous
power and offering a host of design features that has made Montarbo a world class
name in speaker enclosures. Made from high-density polyethylene that provides sonic
resonance not found in other ‘plastic’ boxes. Each speaker is biamped offering mosfet
amplifi ers fi tted with protection circuitry, 2 independent dynamic processors and a high
slope Linkwitz-Riley active electronic processor. Also a ‘soft-start’ switch to reduce peak
current drain at switch on. The rear panel is fitted with balanced XLR input and output
(link) connectors, master volume control, mid-high level control and ground-lift. The shape
of the cabinet allows for both vertical and horizontal installation (for stage monitoring).

Balanced XLR input and output (link) wired in parallel
The 112SA and 119SA subwoofers produce extremely high sound pressure levels,
increasing the sonic quality of any speaker system. A dedicated processor protects
amplifier and speaker against overloads. The built-in, stereo high slope (24dB octave
/ 150Hz) electronic crossover, easily integrates the subwoofer with any sound system.
The rear panel is fitted with balanced XLRs for the stereo input and for the link outputs
(for parallel connection of additional systems), unbalanced XLRs for the stereo output,
Flat/X-Over switch, input level control and ground-lift switch. Complete with side handles
for transport. Combines with any loudspeaker system irrespective of brand or model.
