The UPM‑1XP, with IntelligentDC technology, is a compact,
externally‑powered, wide‑coverage loudspeaker for professional
sound reinforcement. It offers the same high sound pressure levels,
low distortion, and uniform directional control as the UPM‑1P but
with the added flexibility of external DC power—enabling lengthy
cable runs without AC conduits. Ideal usage of the UPM‑1XP is
for applications requiring wide‑coverage in a small, inconspicuous
cabinet where AC cabling is not feasible.

As a standalone loudspeaker, use the UPM‑1XP for vocal
reinforcement, frontfill coverage, or delay coverage for
under‑balcony applications. For full‑range systems, pair the
UPM‑1XP with Meyer Sound’s UMS‑1XP ultracompact subwoofer
with IntelligentDC technology.

The UPM‑1XP’s high‑frequency section includes a 1‑inch metal
dome tweeter on a constant‑directivity, high‑frequency horn with
a 100° beamwidth. The low/mid‑frequency section includes two
5‑inch cone transducers that work in parallel at low frequencies—
delivering a combined acoustic output—with one of the drivers
rolling off above 320 Hz to prevent interference in the crossover
region due to comb filtering effects. A three‑channel amplifier,
which includes active crossover, driver protection, and frequency
and phase correction circuitry, powers the proprietary drivers that
Meyer Sound manufactures at its factory in Berkeley, California.

With IntelligentDC technology, the UPM‑1XP receives DC power
and balanced audio from a single loudspeaker connector, available
as Phoenix™ 5‑pin male, sealed SwitchCraft® EN3™ 5‑pin male,
or sealed ECO‑M 7‑pin male. Powering the unit from an external

source eliminates the need for wiring conduits while still preserving
the advantages of self‑powered systems. The UPM‑1XP’s amplifier
and signal‑processing circuits store DC power and tolerate voltage
drops, thereby accommodating light‑gauge cables and lengthy
cable runs.

The UPM‑1XP requires a Meyer Sound IntelligentDC external
power supply. For larger installations, the single‑space rack‑mount
MPS‑488HP IntelligentDC power supply unit distributes DC power
and balanced audio to up to eight UPJunior‑XP loudspeakers
or other Meyer Sound IntelligentDC loudspeakers. For smaller
installations, the MPS‑482HP IntelligentDC power supply offers
two channels of audio and DC power. 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 gauge wires.

Meyer Sound’s RMS™ remote monitoring system, which offers
comprehensive monitoring of loudspeaker parameters from a

Mac

or Windows®‑based computer running Compass® control

software, is optionally available for the MPS‑488HP.

Meyer Sound coats the UPM‑1XP cabinet with a slightly textured
black finish and includes three threaded, recessed nut plates
(3/8 in‑16 or metric M10). Optional rigging hardware includes the
MYA‑UPM mounting yoke, MUB‑UPM U‑bracket, and MSA‑UPM
stand adapter. Other UPM‑1XP options include weather protection
and custom color finishes for fixed installations and installations
with specific cosmetic requirements.

ACCESSORIES AND ASSOCIATED PRODUCTS

MUB-UPM U-Bracket: Allows a UPM‑1XP loudspeaker to be mounted to a wall (in either vertical or horizontal orientations), to the ceiling or on the

floor.

MYA-UPM Yoke: Cradle‑style mounting yoke that suspends a single UPM‑1XP loudspeaker and supports a wide range of horizontal and vertical
adjustment. The yoke attaches to the top and bottom nut plates and includes 3/8‑inch‑16 and M10 hardware.

MSA-UPM Stand Adapter: Mount the UPM‑1XP loudspeaker on a stand using the MSA‑UPM stand adapter along with a third‑party loudspeaker
stand. The MSA‑UPM kit includes 3/8‑inch‑16 and M10 hardware.

MPK-POLE 35MM Adjustable Pole: Pole with adjustable length of 32–55 in, 35 mm diameter; includes a 38 mm adapter to be used with 38 mm stand
adapters.

Galileo GALAXY Network Platform: The Galileo GALAXY Network Platform provides state‑of‑the‑art audio control technology for loudspeaker
systems with multiple zones. With immaculate sonic performance, it provides a powerful tool set for corrective room equalization and creative fine‑
tuning for a full range of applications.

MPS-488HP External Power Supply: Rack‑mount unit that delivers balanced audio and high‑current DC power to up to eight loudspeakers; versions
available with either Phoenix or EN3 channel output connectors.

MPS-482HP External Power Supply: 1RU 1/2 width rack unit that delivers balanced audio and high‑current DC power to up to two audio channels;
rack mount or use available options to mount on ceiling, wall, pole or truss configurations.
