WARNING
In order to protect your own and others' safety and to avoid
invalidation of the warranty of this product, please read this section
carefully before operating this product.
- This product has been designed and manufactured to be operated as a speaker
system in the typical applications of a sound reinforcement system or of a sound
recording system. Operation for purposes other than these is not provided for by the
manufacturer and is therefore to be undertaken at the end user’s and/or installer’s sole
risk and responsability.
TO AVOID THE RISK OF DAMAGE:
• Never expose this product to rain or moisture, never use it in proximity of water or
in high humidity conditions. Never let any liquid, as well as any object, penetrate the
product. Should this be the case, do not use the speaker system and refer to qualified
servicing before operating it again. Never place burning candles or other sources of
open flame on top of the device.
• This product must be connected only to the output of a power amplier or a
powered mixer. Always use a good quality speaker cable (unscreened), and check
it frequently for any damage to insulation and connectors.
• Before attempting to move the product after it has been installed, remove all
the connections.
• Before moving the product after it has been installed, or while it is operating, make
sure that the power amplifier is switched off.
• To disconnect this product from connecting cable never pull the cable directly: hold
it by the plug instead.
CAUTION!
This product does not contain user serviceable parts.
To prevent fire and/or electrical shock, never disassemble it or
remove the rear panel. For maintenance and servicing always refer
to the official Montarbo Distributor in your Country or
to qualified personnel specifically authorised by the Distributor.
-
Before placing the product on a surface of any kind, make sure that its shape
and load rating safely match the product size and weight.
When installing the speaker system on a stand, use a stable stand that will fit in
the adapter and may carry the loudspeaker weight. When two loudspeakers are
laid one upon the other, make sure that stability is guaranteed by matching the
upper loudspeaker feet to the lower loudspeaker cavities
.
- To avoid shocks, kicks, or whatever action, always reserve a protected area with
no access to unqualified personnel as installation site of the product.
In case the product is used near children and animals closest supervision is necessary.
- This product can generate very high acoustic pressures which are dangerous for the
hearing system. Always avoid operation at loud levels if anyone is excessively near to
the product (at least 1 m of distance).
Never expose children to high sound sources.
The exclamation point in an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence

1 - INTRODUCTION AND APPLICATIONS
1.1 - INTRODUCTION
WIDE15P and WIDE12P feature a revolutionary new
concept in acoustic and electronic design characterized by
painstaking attention in terms of component selection,
materials and production techniques.
The result is a product of absolutely contemporary, essential
and rigorous design, with great attention to detail.
All the system’s drivers, designed with great attention to
every detail and custom-built specifically for these systems,
are equipped with the most efficient and powerful motor
assemblies available on the market today:
- woofers with ventilated, high-flux neodymium magnets
and long excursion, large diameter voice coils
- controlled directivity wave-guide horns coupled to
neodymium drivers with very high magnetic flux.
The portability has been optimized: all systems may be
carried and installed by a single person.
Very high levels of performance, despite their remarkably
small size and low weight.
1.2 - APPLICATIONS
WIDE15P and WIDE12P speakers systems may be used with
any power amplifier or powered mixer of adequate quality
and power output (750 W EIAJ is suggested for each
speaker), but they work best with the PLM3000 "powered
loudspeaker controller".
PLM3000 features a built-in DSP loudspeaker controller
and four power amplifiers, each rated at 750 W @ 4 ohm.
It can effortlessly drive four 4-ohm systems (WIDE15P4
or WIDE12P4) or eight 8-ohm systems (WIDE15P8 or
WIDE15P8). The factory presets of the internal controller
include those designed for the WIDE series speaker systems
in a variety of different applications (front-of-house or stage
monitor) and configurations (stereo system or 4 independent
channels). It also includes advanced features, such as a full
parametric equalizer and delay and noise gate controls,
ensuring optimal system set-up.
