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. 6 7 MONTARBO PROFESSIONAL SOUND SYSTEMS MONTARBO PROFESSIONAL SOUND SYSTEMS W17As / W14As / W440A 2-way, bi-amplified active loudspeaker systems W17As, W14As and W440A are The electronics integrated in each equipped with specially designed of the three systems includes: custom transducers operating in complete synergy with the dedicated electronic circuitry.

MP4 HALL REVERB Simulates a much bigger space, as the name implies. 4-channel mic/line mixer - each channel: gain control, peak LED indicator, 3-band EQ, effect send and channel volume control. - channel 1: balanced mic-line input with Neutrik Combo® connector (combined XLR + jack) FAST ECHO + REVERB A fast, short slap-back delay combined to a reverb in a vocal oriented patch. - master section: master volume, auxiliary output with independent SLOW ECHO + REVERB Similar to the previous program, but with a longer delay time. It thus plays ‘slower’ and with longer samples. volume control, send (pre-out) and return (main-in) jack sockets for PITCH CHANGE Alters the pitch in real time. connection of external effect devices such as equalizer, flanger etc... DUAL PITCH CHANGE A real ‘harmonizing’ effect capable to add two further voices to a monophonic source, panned full left and full right. - channels 2-3-4: mic-line Jack inputs. stereo headphones output (200 ÷ 600 Ohms). - effects processor: volume control, Reverb-Chorus selector and jack socket for remote on-off switching of the effect. The processor provides Reverb and Chorus effects. 44 VOICE REVERB Specially tailored to support and enrich the lead vocals. DETUNE 1 Slightly alters the source tuning to simulate a ‘doubling’ effect.

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. 2 1 or Prior to this pioneering effort, no other company had ever considered 1 2 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. 2 or 1 1 1 With the increasing popularity of rock music during the Sixties, concerts 1 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. 2 or 1 1 1 2 1 1 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 2 1 the price range, all Montarbo products are absolutely ‘professional-grade’, 1 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, 1 or 2 1 1 2 1 1 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 2 1 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. 2 2 The contents of this publication are ©2007 by Elettronica Montarbo srl.
