A Wooden Speaker from the R Series: Full-Range Designed for the Field
The Montarbo R115 is part of a series of wooden speakers ranging from 8 to 15 inches, designed to deliver high sound pressure while maintaining clear reproduction of the most sensitive live range: the vocal register. The goal of the range is clear: to offer robust full-range speakers that are easy to deploy and comfortable both as main PA and as stage monitors, thanks to integrated DSP presets and input architecture designed for real-world uses (microphone, line, link).
What Uses Is the Montarbo R115 Designed For?
With its 15-inch woofer and bass-reflex design, the R115 targets performances requiring clear projection and solid low end without necessarily adding a subwoofer. It is especially suitable for bands (lead vocals, instruments, monitors), event professionals (speeches, animations, versatile playback), and mobile DJs seeking a wooden speaker with full sound and professional aesthetics. Its format also allows use as a wedge monitor when the stage demands, benefiting from equalization presets to quickly adapt the curve.
DSP, Presets, and Mixing: A Speaker That Adapts Quickly
FIR Filters and Internal Processing: Priority on Clarity
The onboard audio processing relies on FIR filters, a relevant choice when seeking clean reproduction and enhanced temporal coherence. Practically, this translates into clearer listening, particularly useful for vocals, guitars, keyboards, and all sources where articulation and definition matter. The internal DSP features 28/56 bit processing to efficiently manage presets and system optimization.
4 Preset Equalizers: Switch from Front of House to Monitor in One Step
The 4 selectable EQ presets on the speaker allow quick adjustment of the response depending on the application: front of house, adaptation to a reverberant room, or monitor placement. This saves valuable time during setup and teardown and is a real asset for stabilizing a mix without multiplying upstream corrections.
Two Input Channels and a Configurable LINK/MIX Output
The R115 offers 2 input channels with independent level controls, including 1 combo mic/line input and 1 combo line input. The output section allows choosing between a link (LINK) signal or a mix (MIX) of the two channels, convenient for daisy-chaining a second speaker, powering a complementary system, or sending a simplified mix without going back through a mixer.
Wooden Enclosure and Finish: A Professional Look, Designed for Touring
The multi-ply wooden enclosure with black polyurea finish aims for durability and a refined presentation. The flush aluminum handles contribute both to the sleek aesthetics and handling, while minimizing rough edges during transport and loading.
