Meyer Sound’s UPQ‑D3 wide coverage loudspeaker evolves from the
UPQ‑1P and UPQ‑2P product line, now optimized using the advanced
amplifier and processing technology that made the LEO® family an award‑
wining product line. UPQ‑D3 features:

• Wider vertical coverage, Constant‑Q horn with ‑6 dB points at 80°

horizontal x 80° vertical (‑10 dB points at 100° horizontal x 100°
vertical)

• An innovative, newly designed, highly efficient Class D amplifier with

reduced current draw that reproduces any sound with linearity over a
wide dynamic range

• Optimized frequency and phase response characteristics

• Lightened cabinet weight

• Redesigned cabinet that retains the original size, grille frame, and

rigging options of previous UPQ products

The UPQ‑D3 offers an extremely consistent polar response and a gentle
coverage rolloff that extends uniformly out to its ‑10 dB points of 100°
by 100°. The horn’s smooth and consistent performance is the result of
meticulous research in Meyer Sound’s anechoic chamber, and it exhibits a
remarkably consistent beamwidth in both the horizontal and vertical planes.
The UPQ‑D3 horn also delivers uniform attenuation for all frequencies
outside the specified beamwidth.

In addition to the Constant‑Q horn, the loudspeaker features a low
frequency 15‑inch neodymium magnet cone driver and 4‑inch diaphragm
compression driver, both designed and manufactured at Meyer Sound’s
Berkeley, California headquarters. Suitable for use in a range of sound
reinforcement applications, the UPQ‑D3 works well as a front‑of‑house

main loudspeaker in small to mid‑sized venues, or as a fill loudspeaker in
larger systems.

The proprietary two‑channel, class D power amplifier yields a total
power output of 2250 W. Audio input routes through electronic crossover
and correction filters, as well as through driver‑protection circuitry.
Phase‑corrected processing ensures a flat acoustical amplitude and
phase response, resulting in an exceptional impulse response and precise
imaging.

Each amplifier channel has sophisticated limiters that are easily monitored
with the limit LEDs on the unit’s rear panel. The UPQ‑D3’s modular amplifier
and processing electronics incorporate Meyer Sound’s Intelligent AC™
power supply, which adapts to any power voltage worldwide and provides
soft‑turn on and transient protection. The UPQ‑D3 uses a XLR 3‑pin female
input with male loop output connector.

The optional RMS™ remote monitoring system module provides
comprehensive monitoring of loudspeaker parameters from a host
computer running Compass

®

software. An optional XLR 5‑pin connector is

available to accommodate both balanced audio and RMS signals.

The UPQ‑D3 provides extremely high power output with low distortion in
a vented two‑way enclosure. The UPQ‑D3’s durable trapezoidal enclosure
has a slightly textured black finish, an integral stand mount receptacle,
and versatile rigging end plates. Made of heavy‑duty, high‑strength,
corrosion‑resistant 6061‑T6 aluminum, the endplates incorporate threaded
M10 attachment points.

ACCESSORIES AND ASSOCIATED PRODUCTS

MPA-UPQ Pick Up and Array Plate: The MPA‑UPQ Pick Up and Array Plate kit allows for one or multiple UPQ loudspeakers to be suspended at a

vertical angle. The kit includes two plates to facilitate installation of two UPQ‑D loudspeakers in both horizontal and vertical clusters at variable angles
between 34 and 50 degrees in 4‑degree increments. A second kit allows clusters up to three units. The kit includes eight M10 bolts and eight M10
knobs. The pick‑up holes accept up to a 0.5‑inch shackle.

MYA-UPQ Mounting Yoke: Cradle‑style mounting yoke that suspends a single UPQ‑D loudspeaker and supports a wide range of horizontal and
vertical adjustment.

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.

MDM-832 Distribution Module: MDM‑832 units conveniently power UPQ‑D arrays, routing up to eight channels of AC power, balanced audio and
RMS signals to the loudspeakers.
