IMPORTANT ! SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
• This product must be connected only to the output of a power amplifier
or a powered mixer. Always use a good quality speaker cable (unscreened),
and check it frequently for any damage to insulation and connectors.
• 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 damage never open it. For maintenance and
repairs interventions always refer to the official
Montarbo Distributor in your State 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.
Never attempt to hang the product by any means not expressly provided or
approved by the manufacturer (i.e. ropes, chains, belts or whatever medium,
throgh carring handles, bolts, hooks or whatever).
In case the product is factory-fitted with specific mounting hardware, always
verify before installation that the lifting and/or hanging system you intend to
use is of a proper type and can carry the product weight with the safety ratio
required by the regulations in force.
If the speaker is simply placed on a support, make sure that it won't cause
injure or damage if knocked down.
- When setting up the speakers, make sure that the connecting cables do
not create any obstruction or danger. As a general rule, never lay them
down in any area that may be accessed by the audience or by unqualified
personnel. If they are laid on the floor in an accessible area, secure them to
the floor using adhesive tape (“gaffa” tape) or insert them in a suitable
cable channel. Make sure that in no case the speaker system can fall down
because someone has pushed or stumbled over a speaker cable.
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.

Passive loudspeaker systems
Introduction
The T18P, T15P, T12P and T10P loudspeaker systems are
designed to meet the stringest requirements in versatility,
ruggedness and sonic performances for mid-size applications.
These compact, lightweight systems differ only for frequency
response and max. sound pressure.
Each of them is fitted with a high quality passive cross-over
network together with a passive controller that linearizes
and protects the loudspeakers.

Connection panel
Connections are the same for the four models.
The system is fitted with both Jack and Speakon
®
connectors to achieve
maximum flexibility. The four sockets are connected in parallel.
1
Input jack sockets: they are best suited for mobile (touring)
applications or when it is expected to frequently disconnect the
system. Use one of them (at your choice) for connection to the
power amplifier or the powered mixer output. Use the other one‚
if needed, for parallel connection of another speaker system.
Always pay attention to the total impedance.
The trademark Neutrik Speakon
®
is property of Neutrik
2
1
Never connect two power amplifiers to the same
speaker system: doing this may result in serious damage
to the amplifiers.
2
Speakon
®
connectors: this is the better choice for critical
installations, because the locking connector avoids accidental
disconnection.
1 GND = Ground
2 + = Hot
1 GND
2 + 2 +
1 GND
Wiring of the connection cable to the Speakon
®
connector:
1 - Strip the cable for 20 mm of length and strip each wire for
8 mm of length . We suggest to use a cable with 1,5 ÷ 2mm
2
section wires (the insert terminals are however suitable for a cable
with wires up to a section of 4mm
2
/12AWG).
2 - Insert the cable into the bushing and into the chuck (white chuck
for a cable diameter of 5 ÷ 11mm; black chuck for a cable diameter
of 9.50 ÷ 15mm).
Fit a ferrule at the end of each wire and connect wires on the insert.
3 - The wire ends can be clamped in the terminals using a PZ1
screwdriver or soldered. Always pay attention to the symbols
shown on the connector body ! : connect the positive wire to the
terminal labelled 1+, the negative wire to the terminal labelled 1- .
Terminals 2+ and 2- are not used.
4 - After connecting the wires to the insert, lead it through the
body and screw down the body with the bushing.
Mating connector is a Neutrik Speakon
®
model NL4-FC.
If not available, model NL2-FC may be used: this version has
contacts 1+ and 1- only.

Passive loudspeaker systems
Connection to the input sockets
• Use only loudspeaker cables (unscreened) having suitable cross
section (at least 2 x 1 mm
2
) and quality.
Do not twist or sharply bend the cables and do not allow for knots
to be formed, because they may result in insulation damage.
• When using cables with jack plugs, make sure of using a sturdy
type, suitable for speaker use.
Do not use low quality connectors: they may easily lead to short
circuits or intermittent contacts.
Parallel connection of two or more systems
• Connect the second system to the first one using one of the free
sockets. All sockets may be used for input or output.
Obviously, it is always possible, if needed, to connect the power
amplifier to the first speaker system using the jack sockets, and the
first speaker system to the second one using the Speakon
®
sockets
or vice-versa.
• PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE PARALLEL IMPEDANCE:
if two systems are parallel connected, the resulting load
impedance for the amplifier will be 4 Ohms, a value that is
within the allowed range for all power amplifiers and
powered mixers manufactured by Montarbo and by most
other manufacturers. For 3 parallel connected systems, the
resulting total impedance decreases to 2,7 Ohms, and for
4 system to 2 Ohms.
Some power amplifiers and powered mixers cannot operate
reliably with these low values of load impedance.
Always check the technical specifications of your amplifier or
powered mixer for the value of the minimum load impedance.
Product care and maintenance
To avoid malfunctions and premature degrading of specifications....
• Never expose the loudspeaker for long periods to direct sunlight.
• Never expose the loudspeaker to heat sources such as radiators
or other products that produce heat.
• Never expose the loudspeaker to excessive vibrations or
mechanical shocks
• Avoid operating and storing the enclosure in damp or dusty
places: this may lead to malfunctions and premature degrading
of specifications.
• Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquid are not
spilled into the enclosure.
In public event don’t let people, musicians, technicians or anyone
put glasses, cups, ashtrays or cigarettes on the enclosure.
• Use a soft brush or a jet of air to clean the enclosure.
Do not use alcohol, solvents or detergents.
• Always leave the protective grille mounted on the enclosure.
• Take care of your connecting cables. Make sure that they are not
damaged, knotted or twisted.
• Do not force connectors.
• Before performing any connection, make certain that the power
amplifier or the powered mixer are switched off.
