HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

Make sure to read these operating instructions in their
entirety before configuring a loudspeaker system with Pro­ductNames. In particular, pay close attention to material
related to safety issues.

As you read these operating instructions, you will encounter
the following icons for notes, tips, and cautions:

NOTE: A note identifies an important or useful

piece of information relating to the topic under

discussion.

TIP: A tip offers a helpful tip relevant to the topic

at hand.

CAUTION: A caution gives notice that an

action may have serious consequences and
could cause harm to equipment or personnel, or
could cause delays or other problems.

Information and specifications are subject to change.

.

Ultra XP loudspeakers deliver the same sonic capabilities as
their equivalent AC-based models, while also offering the
advantages of IntelligentDC technology, making them an
elegant solution for installations where AC cabling is not fea­sible. Powering Ultra XP loudspeakers from an external
MPS-488HP IntelligentDC power supply affords the flexibil­ity of lengthy cable runs without conduits.

With IntelligentDC technology, Ultra XP loudspeakers receive
power and balanced audio from a single loudspeaker con­nector, available as a Phoenix™ 5-pin male, sealed Switch-

®

Craft

EN3™ 5-pin male, or sealed ECO-M 7-pin male. The

®

use of composite multiconductor cables (such as Belden
1502 or equivalent) allows a single cable to carry both DC
power and balanced audio to Ultra XP loudspeakers. Ultra XP
amplifier and signal-processing circuits store DC power and
tolerate voltage drops, thereby accommodating light-gauge
cables and lengthy cable runs.

MPS-488HP INTELLIGENTDC HIGH-POWER EIGHT-CHANNEL POWER SUPPLY

Ultra XP loudspeakers require an external MPS-488HP
IntelligentDC power supply. The single-space 19-inch rack
unit distributes DC power and balanced audio to up to eight
Ultra XP loudspeakers, or other Meyer Sound IntelligentDC
loudspeakers. Composite multiconductor cables, such as
Belden 1502 or equivalent, can deliver both DC power and
balanced audio to loudspeakers at cable lengths up to
150 feet with just 1 dB of loss in peak SPL using 18 AWG
wire. Longer cable runs are possible with heavier gauges.
Meyer Sound’s RMS remote monitoring system is optionally
available for the MPS-488HP.

MPS-488HP IntelligentDC Power Supply

CAUTION: Disconnect the mains plug before

disconnecting the power cord from the
MPS-488HP.

ULTRA XP OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

TIP: For complete information on using the

MPS-488HP IntelligentDC power supply, refer
to the MPS-488HP Operating Instructions
(PN 05.205.005.01).

LATENCY OF ULTRA XP LOUDSPEAKERS

There is a very small latency of 1.58 ms for Ultra XP loud­speakers when compared to their equivalent AC-based
models. This does not represent a problem when using
Ultra XP loudspeakers with other Ultra XP loudspeakers.
When mixing Ultra XP and AC loudspeakers in close prox­imity, the small latency can be easily addressed with a delay
setting in a loudspeaker processor such as Meyer Sound’s
Galileo 408 or Galileo 616.

all-weather use. To function properly, Ultra XP loudspeakers require an external MPS-488HP IntelligentDC power supply.

All connectors include two pins for DC power (positive and negative) and three pins for balanced audio (positive, negative, and
shield). Pin outputs are clearly labeled on loudspeaker user panels (pins 3 and 4 for ECO-M connectors are not used by
Ultra XP loudspeakers). Ultra XP loudspeakers ship with an appropriate cable accessory for assembling loudspeaker cables
(see Table 1). For more information, see “Belden 1502 Cable (or Equivalent)” on page 10 and Appendix B, “Assembling Loud­speaker Cables.”

CAUTION: When wiring Ultra XP loudspeaker cables, it is extremely important that each pin be wired correctly.

Make sure the 48 V DC from the external power supply is wired directly (and only) to the 48 V DC pins on the
loudspeaker connector, and that the polarity is observed (negative to negative, positive to positive) to avoid damage
to the loudspeaker. In addition, make sure that audio pins are wired correctly; polarity reversals for audio signals
affect system performance.

CURRENT DRAW AND CABLE REQUIRE­MENTS FOR ULTRA XP LOUDSPEAKERS

DC current draw for Ultra XP loudspeakers is dynamic and
fluctuates as operating levels change. Cabling between
Ultra XP loudspeakers and their external power supply adds
resistance and hence causes a voltage a drop at the loud­speakers. Because lower DC voltages compromise amplifier
performance (peak SPL), and in some cases frequency
response, cable resistance should be kept to a minimum.

Cable Lengths and Cable Gauges

Cable lengths up to 150 feet between the Ultra XP loud­speakers and their external power supply are supported
with only 1 dB of peak SPL loss using 18 AWG wire. Longer
cable lengths are possible with heavier wire gauges (see
Table 2 and Table 3).

Approximate

Max. Length

Calculating the Maximum Cable Length

The maximum cable length for an Ultra XP loudspeaker can
be calculated with the following formula:

maximum length = 2 ohms / 2 * cable resistance

For example, the maximum length of an 18 AWG cable with
a resistance of 0.00636 is 157.2 feet (2 / 2 * 0.00636).

BELDEN 1502 CABLE (OR EQUIVALENT)

The most convenient method of wiring Ultra XP loudspeaker
cables is with a multiconductor cable such as Belden 1502,
which has dedicated conductors for DC power and bal­anced audio in a single jacket. When wiring loudspeaker
cables with Belden 1502, use the conventions in Table 4.
The red and black wires are 18 AWG, thicker than the other
three wires, and should be used for DC power (cable lengths
up to 150 feet are possible with just 1 dB of peak SPL loss).
The blue, white, and shield drain wires should be used for
audio.

NOTE: The total cable resistance between

Ultra XP loudspeakers and their external power

supply should not exceed 2 ohms.

NOTE: For long cable runs, you can use a large

cable gauge for DC power and a separate bal­anced audio cable for audio. For more information,
see “Long Cable Runs with Separate Cable for DC
Power and Audio” on page 11.

CAUTION: When wiring Ultra XP loudspeaker

cables, it is extremely important that each pin
be wired correctly. Make sure the 48 V DC from the
external power supply is wired directly (and only) to
the 48 V DC pins on the loudspeaker connector, and
that the polarity is observed (negative to negative,
positive to positive) to avoid damage to the loud­speaker. In addition, make sure that audio pins are
wired correctly; polarity reversals for audio signals
affect system performance.

LONG CABLE RUNS WITH SEPARATE CABLE FOR DC POWER AND AUDIO

For installations where Belden 1502 is not feasible, or for
installations that require cable runs longer than 150 feet, you
can use separate cables for DC power and balanced audio:
a large-gauge cable for DC and a high-quality, balanced
audio cable for audio. The separate cables attach to the
Phoenix connector at the loudspeaker as shown in the
Figure 1. Cable runs longer than 150 feet for DC power
require cable gauges larger than 18 AWG; for more informa­tion, see “Cable Lengths and Cable Gauges” on page 10.

LIMIT LEDS

When source levels for Ultra XP loudspeakers exceed maxi­mum input levels for its drivers, limiting is engaged and is
indicated by the two Limit LEDs on the rear user panel. The
bottom LED indicates limiting for low-frequency channels.
The top LED indicates limiting for high-frequency channels.
When engaged, limiting not only protects the drivers, but
also prevents signal peaks from causing excessive distor­tion in the amplifier’s channels, thereby preserving head­room and maintaining smooth frequency responses at high
levels. When source levels return to normal, below the lim­iter’s threshold, limiting ceases.

Limit LEDs

Ultra XP loudspeakers perform within their acoustical speci­fications at normal temperatures when the Limit LEDs are
unlit, or when the LEDs are lit for 2 seconds or less and then
turn off for at least 1 second. If an LED remains lit for longer
than 3 seconds, the loudspeaker enters hard limiting where:

Figure 1: Separate Cables for DC Power and Balanced Audio

EN3-TO-PIGTAIL CABLES

Ultra XP loudspeakers with EN3 connectors ship with an
EN3 5-pin-to-pigtail cable. The EN3 end of the cable con­nects directly to the loudspeaker input connector. The pigtail
end of the cable, which connects to the external power sup­ply, can be terminated with either an EN3 5-pin male con­nector (included with the MPS-488HPe) or a Phoenix 5-pin
female connector (included with the MPS-488HPp). The pig­tail can also be spliced to a longer loudspeaker cable or to a
junction box. The EN3-to-pigtail cable uses Belden 1502
cable (or equivalent), which can be wired for both DC power
and balanced audio. The EN3-to-pigtail cable is available in
plenum or regular (non-plenum) versions.

EN3-to-Pigtail Cable

■ Increases to the input level have no effect.

■ Distortion increases due to clipping and nonlinear driver

operation.

■ Drivers are subjected to excessive heat and excursion,

compromising their life span.

CAUTION: The Limit LEDs indicate when a

safe, optimum level has been exceeded. If an
Ultra XP loudspeaker begins to limit before reaching
the required SPL, consider adding more loudspeak­ers to the system.

11

CHAPTER 2: ULTRA XP LOUDSPEAKERS

ON/STATUS LED

The On/Status LED on the user panel indicates whether an
Ultra XP loudspeaker is operating normally (green), over­heating (yellow), or clipping (red).

Normal Operation (Green)

The On/Status LED is green during normal operation, when
the loudspeaker is powered on.

Overheating and Limiter Threshold (Yellow)

The On/Status LED turns solid yellow when the loud­speaker’s internal temperature reaches 75° C (167° F), indi­cating the unit is reaching its maximum heat dissipation.
When the On/Status LED is yellow, a reduction in SPL is rec­ommended. While the loudspeaker will continue to operate
while the On/Status LED is yellow, the limiter threshold is
lowered by 6 dB (causing the output level to also be
reduced) to prevent the loudspeaker from overheating.
When the internal temperature cools to 60° C (140° F), the
On/Status LED changes from yellow to green and the limiter
threshold returns to normal.

Amplifier Cooling System

Amplifiers for Ultra XP loudspeakers rely solely on natural
convection for cooling from air flowing over their heat sinks.
The efficient amplifier and heat sink design keeps tempera­tures low, even when units are operated at high ambient
temperatures, in tightly packed configurations, and driven
continuously at high output levels.

CAUTION: The Ultra XP loudspeaker’s heat

sink can reach temperatures up to 75° C
(167° F) during extreme operation. Use extreme cau­tion when approaching the rear of the loudspeaker.

Clipping on Input (Red)

The On/Status LED turns red when the loudspeaker’s input
stage clips. When the On/Status LED is red, the source level
should be reduced to avoid distortion and to avoid overload­ing the amplifier.

12

CHAPTER 3: POWERING ULTRA XP LOUDSPEAKERS

MPS-488HPp

Ultra XP loudspeakers require an external MPS-488HP
IntelligentDC power supply. The single-space 19-inch rack
unit distributes DC power and balanced audio to up to eight
Ultra XP loudspeakers, or other Meyer Sound IntelligentDC
loudspeakers. Composite multiconductor cables, such as
Belden 1502 or equivalent, can deliver both DC power and
balanced audio to loudspeakers at cable lengths up to
150 feet with just 1 dB of loss in peak SPL using 18 AWG
wire. Longer cable runs are possible with heavier gauges.
Meyer Sound’s RMS remote monitoring system is optionally
available for the MPS-488HP.

TIP: For complete information on using the

MPS-488HP IntelligentDC power supply, refer
to the MPS-488HP Operating Instructions
(PN 05.205.005.01).

To power Ultra XP loudspeakers with the MPS-488HP:

1. Power off the MPS-488HP.

2. Connect audio sources (from a mixer or processor) to the
MPS-488HP channel inputs. Use balanced XLR cables.

3. Use the MPS-488HP Link switches to route channel
inputs to the desired channel outputs. For information on
the MPS-488HP Link switches, refer to the MPS-488HP
Operating Instructions (PN 05.205.005.01).

■ When connecting loudspeakers equipped with Phoenix

connectors to the MPS-488HPp power supply, use
Phoenix 5-pin male to Phoenix 5-pin female cables.

4. Connect loudspeakers to the MPS-488HP channel out­puts. Use composite cables (such as Belden 1502 or
equivalent) wired for both DC power and balanced audio
and outfitted with the appropriate connectors.

MPS-488HPp with Eight UPJunior-XP Loudspeakers

TIP: You can use two separate cables for loud-

speaker connections: a 2-conductor cable for
DC power and a 3-conductor cable for balanced
audio, both attached to a single Phoenix connector
on each cable end. This allows you to use a larger

13

CHAPTER 3: POWERING ULTRA XP LOUDSPEAKERS

MPS-488HPe

gauge for the DC cable so you can achieve longer
cable runs (see “Long Cable Runs with Separate
Cable for DC Power and Audio” on page 11).

■ When connecting loudspeakers equipped with EN3 con-

nectors to the MPS-488HPe power supply, use EN3 5­pin male to EN3 5-pin female cables.

■ To join two EN3 cables, one with an EN3 5-pin male

cable mount connector to one with an EN3 5-pin female
cable mount connector, use an EN3 5-pin female-to­male cable coupler (PN 28.163.033.01).

■ When connecting loudspeakers equipped with ECO-M

connectors to the MPS-488HPp power supply, use
Phoenix 5-pin male to ECO-M 7-pin female cables.

CAUTION: Make sure loudspeaker cables are

wired correctly. For details on assembling loud­speaker cables, refer to Appendix B, “Assembling
Loudspeaker Cables.”

5. Power on the MPS-488HP and monitor the LEDs on the
front panel to verify connections. For information on the
MPS-488HP LEDs, refer to the MPS-488HP Operating
Instructions (PN 05.205.005.01).

6. Check the On/Status LEDs on the loudspeaker rear user
panels and verify they are green (ready to reproduce
audio).

CHAPTER 4: MOUNTING ULTRA XP LOUDSPEAKERS

IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

When installing Meyer Sound loudspeakers, the following
precautions should always be observed:

■ All Meyer Sound products must be used in accordance

with local, state, federal, and industry regulations. It is
the owner’s and user’s responsibility to evaluate the reli­ability of any rigging or mounting method for their appli­cation. Rigging should only be carried out by
experienced professionals.

■ Use mounting and rigging hardware that has been rated

to meet or exceed the weight being hung.

■ Make sure to attach mounting hardware to the building's

structural components (studs or joists), and not just to
the wall surface. Verify that the building's structure and
the anchors used for the installation will safely support
the total weight of the mounted loudspeakers.

■ Use mounting hardware appropriate for the surface

where the loudspeaker will be installed.

■ Make sure bolts are tightened securely. Meyer Sound

recommends using Loctite
cables.

■ Inspect mounting and rigging hardware regularly. Imme-

diately replace any worn or damaged components.
