Description.
The Montarbo R108 is a compact 8-inch active PA speaker built for musicians, DJs, presenters and venues that need clear, dependable sound in a portable format. Its two-way design combines an 8-inch woofer with a 1.35-inch compression driver, providing detailed vocals and balanced music reproduction for small live performances, rehearsals, events and fixed installations.
With 200W RMS amplification and a maximum SPL of 125dB, the R108 offers plenty of output for its size. Built-in DSP with FIR filtering helps maintain a consistent, controlled sound, while four selectable EQ presets make it easy to adapt the speaker to different uses, including floor-monitor applications. Its 90° x 70° dispersion helps cover the audience without making the setup unnecessarily complicated.
The R108 is designed to be straightforward to use, with two input channels and independent level controls for connecting microphones and other audio equipment. An XLR line output can be switched between LINK and MIX modes, allowing you to pass on the input signal or send a mix of both channels to another speaker or part of your PA system.
A robust multilayer wooden cabinet with a durable polyurea finish gives the R108 a professional appearance and makes it suitable for regular use. Weighing just 10.9kg, it is easy to transport and position, with an integrated handle and 35mm pole mount for flexible setup. For anyone looking for a compact 8-inch active loudspeaker with onboard DSP and versatile connectivity, the Montarbo R108 is a practical choice for mobile PA and installation work.
One of the standout features of the Montarbo R-Series is its wooden cabinet construction, and the R108 is a great example of why we like this approach. Compared with typical plastic enclosures, a wooden cabinet offers a more solid, premium feel and helps provide a natural, controlled sound, while also giving the speaker the durability needed for regular professional use. The R108 combines these benefits with a compact 8-inch design, making it an excellent choice for smaller venues, installations and mobile applications where sound quality and build quality are equally important.
