Montarbo 215SA active subwoofer was designed to extend
the low frequency response of the W20A system. But at the
very first test, it proved to be the perfect companion for
loudspeakers of any make and model.

The two 15" units of the 215SA combine performance with
significant space savings, a key feature to many pro users.

The cabinet is built with 18mm Finland birch multiply, as are
the many internal bracings designed to magnify stiffness
and rigidity of the box. Thanks to this bracing system, rock-

solid 215SA absolutely don’t flex. Period. And efficiency,
precision and sonic imaging can be described truly
outstanding compared to many systems designed "the old
way" (where vibrations of cabinet walls steal acoustic
energy and give a dull, muddy, unprecise tone).

The stereo cross-over divides the signal and sends it to the
sub amp and the main PA outputs.
The MOSFET power amp delivers 800 W through our
unique processor, which protects both the speakers and
the sonic integrity of the system.

Nothing could be simpler than adding the 215SA to the
W20A, or to any other system. All it takes is the signal from
the mixing console plugged into its patch panel, and two
cables going to the main PA.
You can stack two 215SA subs one on top the other with
total safety (thanks to male/female integral stopblocks), or
place a full-range system on a pole that locks into the 215SA.
