Sound

The Meyer UPA-P Series selfpowered loudspeakers (UPA-1P,
UPA-2P) are more than powered
versions of the Meyer UPA-C
Series (UPA-1C, UPA-2C). The
UPA-P Series features phasecorrected electronics that
produce flat acoustical phase
and amplitude responses,
resulting in exceptional system
impulse response and precise
imaging. Despite the inclusion
of amplification and control
electronics, the UPA-P is the
same size as, and only 10 lb.
heavier than the UPA-C.
Additionally, the UPA-P’s
advanced horn designs achieve
a consistent polar response
and smooth arraying behavior.
The beam width of a horn is
the angle at which the sound
pressure at a given frequency
decreases to half (–6 dB) its
on-axis amplitude. Existing
technologies produce horns
whose beam width varies over
the operating frequency range.
These horns also display nonuniform frequency response
within, and significant side lobe
energy outside their beam
width. Both undesirable
characteristics, particularly
prevalent for horns with a wide
beam width, make array design
extremely problematic.
The UPA-P horns exhibit
constant Q: the beam width
remains consistent across the
horn’s operating frequency
range in both the vertical and
horizontal planes. The UPA-2P
uses the same horn as the
UPA-2C: the original design
achieved constant Q for its
narrow beam width (45°H x
45°V). Meyer Sound developed

PATENT PENDING
the UPA-1P horn in an
anechoic chamber by
measuring coverage patterns
using angular and frequency
resolutions of 1° and 1⁄36
octave, respectively. The UPA-1P
horn provides a much wider
horizontal, and slightly
narrower vertical beam width
(100°H x 40°V) than the UPA-2P.
Both speakers share the
following remarkable attributes:
• uniform frequency response
within the beam width
• rapid and uniform amplitude
attenuation for all frequencies outside the beam width
• minimal side lobes
The UPA-P Series is ideally
suited for small PA applications
requiring complete coverage
with a compact, high-powered
system, and also make
excellent under-balcony, downfill.
The UPA-P’s integrated
electronics employs the
Intelligent AC power supply,
which auto-selects the correct

operating voltage (facilitating
international use), suppresses
high voltage transients, and
provides soft-start power-up
(eliminating high inrush current).
The UPA-P can be equipped
to operate with the Remote
Monitoring System™ (RMS)
network and software
application. The UPA’s are
shipped with one of two audio
input and control options. The
Basic module contains an XLR
input and a loop connector.
The second module provides
features that facilitate array
building and integration into
full-range systems without
incurring the cost of external
processors. These interchangeable modules can be
installed in the field with a
Phillips screwdriver. RMS
displays signal and power
levels, driver and cooling fan
status, limiter activity, and
amplifier temperature for all
speakers in the network on a
Windows-based PC.
