2-way, bi-amplified active loudspeaker systems

W17As, W14As and W440A stand

out for their unique and innovative

design which includes 6 sturdy fly

points (patented) completely inte-

grated in the cabinet and designed

to hang or angle the speaker in the

air as required, using any type of

hook available on the market.

This idea eliminates the need for

additional screw-up components

and ensures easy, quick and very

safe installation in any situation.

The robust, lightweight and

compact cabinets, made from HD

polyethilene by rotational moulding,

are equipped with two side handles

for easy carry and set-up and with

a stand adapter.

Their shape allows also horizontal

installation for use as stage

monitors.

W17As / W14As / W440A

W17As

W440A

W14As

W17As, W14As and W440A are

equipped with specially designed

custom transducers operating in

complete synergy with the

dedicated electronic circuitry.

The bass section utilizes a high

efficiency woofer - 15” in W17As,

12” in W14As and W440A - with

lightweight neodymium magnet

assemblies, capable of delivering an

exceptionally accurate and detailed

high-impact sound.

In models W17As and W14As the

mid-high section is equipped with a

constant directivity horn (dispersion

60° H x 40° V) - integrated in the

shape of the cabinet - coupled to a

1.4” compression driver (titanium

diaphragm, 2.5” voice coil).

In model W440A the mid-high

section is equipped with a constant

directivity horn (dispersion 90° H

x 70° V) - integrated in the shape

of the cabinet - coupled to a 1”

compression driver (2” voice coil).

The electronics integrated in each

of the three systems includes:

- 2, class AB, Mosfet amplifiers,

each one fitted with our exclusive

loudspeaker protections and a

soft-start circuit to reduce the peak

current drain at switch-on.

In models W17As and W14As

the two on-board power amplifiers

deliver a total output power of

600 W divided into 450 W for the

bass section and 150 W for the

mid/high section.

In model W440A the two

on-board power amplifiers deliver

a total output power of



mid/high section.

- 2 active dynamic processors,

optimise the specific features of

each component and provide direct

control of the operation of the

systems, ensuring a constantly flat

frequency response. They feature

independent time constants (and

operating thresholds that are

sensitive to line voltage) and limit

any excessive voice coil movement

under the most demanding

operating conditions.

Unimpeded operation is guaranteed

even when the system is subjected

to extreme line voltage excursions.

- a high slope active electronic

crossover (24dB/oct. Linkwitz-Riley)

guaranteeing phase coherency and

perfect overlapping of acoustic

emissions of the transducers in the

crossover region.

In the situations requiring an

extension of the low frequency

range, W17As, W14As and W440A

combine perfectly with the

Montarbo active subwoofers all

with built-in stereo electronic

cross-over.

The passive versions W17P and

W440P utilize the same

custom components of the active

versions.

Power handling:

600 W / 8 Ohms for model W17P

400 W / 8 Ohms for model W440P

MosFet output stage to guarantee

top performance in terms of

dynamics, distortion and warmth

of sound.

The on-board amplifiers deliver a

total output power of 700 W

divided into 400 W for the

subwoofer and 150 W + 150 W

for the satellites.

- Thermostatically controlled low

turbulence fan.

The control and connection panel

of the subwoofer is fitted with:

- 7-segment display which

indicates the program currently

selected by means of the two

pushbuttons.

- 2 power amplifiers’ outputs with

Neutrik Speakon® connectors for

connection to the satellites;

- 2 balanced XLR male outputs (link).

for parallel connection of other ac-

tive systems or stage monitors etc.;

- L/R balanced inputs with Neutrik

Combo® (XLR + jack), for con-

nection to the mixer;

- Input level control with peak LED

indicator.

The 8 different frequency response’s

presets available are:

LIVE 1 and LIVE 2: two different

response curves suitable for live

performances.

DISCO 1 and DISCO 2: two presets

for sound reinforcement of DJ-sets

in clubs, bars or medium venues.

LOUDNESS: for recorded music or

live performances requiring a warm

and intimate sound quality.

XBASS: mid to low sound pressure

levels (for piano-bar or similar).

FLAT: for applications requiring a

“natural” uncoloured sound.

SPEECH: for speech reinforcement

(conferences, meetings etc..).

The 2 passive satellites (SAT81)

are equipped with an 8” custom

woofer, that provides accurate

reproduction of the medium-low

frequencies, coupled to a 1” driver

loaded by a 90° x 60° horn.

Recessed carrying handle, stand

adaptor with safety lock and low

turbolence tuning ports are built

into the shell of the cabinet.

The rear panel of each satellite is

equipped with a Neutrik Speakon®

socket for connecting to the power

amplifier housed in the sub.

The power handling of each

satellite is 150 W /8 ohms

The high sound pressure delivered

by the DTRIX15, 127dB for the

mid-high section and 128dB for the

subwoofer (measured in half-space

conditions) means that it can cope

with situations that were previously

unthinkable with such a compact

and lightweight system.

MP6 - EFFECTS DESCRIPTION

FAST ECHO Is basically a very short slap-back delay.

SLOW ECHO Again, but with longer delay times, hence a more ‘spacious’ flavor to it.

SMALL HALO A digital ‘clone’ of the effect built in the Montarbo reverb units of the sixties, a vintage classic that never went out of fashion.

LARGE HALO Again the previous effect, but slightly more ‘open’.

PING PONG Basically an auto-panned delay, popular on many rock hits, the samples are being routed alternatively to full left and full right master.

REVERSE REVERB Unmistakably a ‘must’ of many 80’s records, starts at low level, builds up and quits abruptly. Usually served with percussion.

EARLY REFLECTIONS Generates the initial part of the reverb without the decaying ‘tail’ of the effect. It makes for thicker and more aggressive sound without increasing its decay time. Usually it is used to colour vocals or horns solos in contemporary productions.

ROOM REVERB The typical short reverb, great with percussions.

HALL REVERB Simulates a much bigger space, as the name implies.

VOICE REVERB Specially tailored to support and enrich the lead vocals.

FAST ECHO + REVERB A fast, short slap-back delay combined to a reverb in a vocal oriented patch.

SLOW ECHO + REVERB Similar to the previous program, but with a longer delay time. It thus plays ‘slower’ and with longer samples.

PITCH CHANGE Alters the pitch in real time.

DUAL PITCH CHANGE A real ‘harmonizing’ effect capable to add two further voices to a monophonic source, panned full left and full right.

DETUNE 1 Slightly alters the source tuning to simulate a ‘doubling’ effect.

DETUNE 2 It is great with guitars, similar to a Chorus effect, but sometimes even more effective.

It was back in the early Fifties that Montarbo’s founder Sergio Montanari

started building his first amplification systems under the trade name of

Super MB. The Montarbo trademark and logo, the same ones you still find

on today’s products, were designed and introduced in 1962.

The Company was able to quickly build up a solid reputation thanks to

a very special product, a piece of equipment that was so innovative and

unique that it made the firm famous throughout Italy and the rest of the

world: a six-channel powered mixer incorporating a 100W power amplifier

and a magnetic memory echo unit into a portable metal case (featuring

lids that doubled as supports when opened). A groundbreaking Montarbo

patent, this magnetic memory echo unit required no cleaning or

maintenance as it had completely eliminated the problem of mechanical

friction – unlike the tape-based echo units common at that time.

In 1965 Montarbo introduced the world’s first active loudspeaker.

Prior to this pioneering effort, no other company had ever considered

placing an amplifier right inside a loudspeaker cabinet. Shortly thereafter,

the Company came out with the first quadraphonic mixers and the first

bass amplifiers with separate head units.

With the increasing popularity of rock music during the Sixties, concerts

and venues required more powerful sound reinforcement systems to

cope with ever-larger audiences. Montarbo led in this field and went on

to develop many innovative designs and patented products.

During the Eighties it was one of the first manufacturers to develop

software-assisted effects processors.

Its current catalogue selection ranges from economically designed MI

products to cutting-edge professional technology. Whatever the features or

the price range, all Montarbo products are absolutely ‘professional-grade’,

state-of-the-art equipment built to stand up to years and years

of hard use and abuse.

Tradition and research constitute the basis of the Company’s philosophy,

and its original goal has remained the same: it is totally committed to

ensuring the complete satisfaction of musicians, sound technicians and

touring bands.

That’s why Montarbo’s products are inspired by a design philosophy that

emphasizes lightness and compactness; and that’s why they will never

compromise on sonic quality, reliability or ease of use.

Our commitment to sound and your passion for music merge in these

innovative products.
