At ISE 2026, Montarbo unveiled a new stage in its evolution within the professional audio sector. In an exclusive presentation for LATAM STAGE, Richard Boveri, Sales Manager for Latin America, introduced the brand’s latest additions, marking a turning point in its approach to live sound applications and large-scale reinforcement systems.
Under the concept “Montarbo on Stage. More Than Ever.”, the company reaffirmed its strong return to the international stage, highlighting innovation, in-house development, and solutions designed from real-world field experience.
The main highlight was the NETTUNO L28, a compact line array developed for both touring and permanent installations. The system features two 8-inch ferrite woofers and a 1.4-inch neodymium compression driver with a 3-inch voice coil, powered by a 1,000W RMS amplifier designed by Montarbo, with integrated DSP and FIR filtering.
Capable of reaching up to 135.5 dB SPL, the L28 relies on a symmetrical waveguide and a phase-plug design that ensures consistency even in acoustically challenging environments. Its 100° horizontal dispersion and built-in high-frequency compensation allow precise control of each cabinet’s throw without the need for additional external processing.
The system allows configurations of up to 20 cabinets using two rotary encoders, with coupling and HFC presets easily accessible, optimizing setup and deployment times.
Built from touring-grade multilayer wood with a polyurea coating, the cabinet includes recessed pins for quick rigging and versatile configurations in outdoor festivals, theaters, concert halls, corporate events, and houses of worship.
As a natural complement to the L28, Montarbo also introduced the NETTUNO S182, a high-output adaptive subwoofer capable of extending low-frequency response down to 35 Hz and reaching 139 dB SPL.
The S182 integrates two 18-inch woofers with dual 4-inch voice coils, powered by a 2,000W RMS (4,000W peak) Class D amplifier with integrated DSP, system presets, and limiter management. It was designed for ground-stacked, cardioid, or coupled configurations, offering flexibility depending on the application.
Like the L28, its touring-grade wooden construction with polyurea coating ensures durability for touring applications, live concerts, festivals, theaters, and large-scale venues.
With the launch of the NETTUNO L28 and its associated ecosystem, Montarbo reinforced a strategy focused on scalable solutions, consistent performance, and tools designed to meet the real demands of the professional market. At ISE 2026, the Italian brand made it clear that its return to the global stage is indeed stronger than ever.
