Meyer Sound ULTRA-X23XP 2x5" 2-Way Active Speaker, 110x110 Coverage, Phoenix - 09.307.101.01

Product Overview

The Meyer Sound ULTRA-X23XP is the externally powered, IntelligentDC version of the broad-coverage point-source loudspeaker in the ULTRA-X20 family. Its symmetrical 110° x 110° constant-Q horn projects a wide, even pattern for near-field fills, under-balcony seating, and short-throw applications in installed AV systems. Two 5-inch low-frequency drivers and a 2-inch compression driver are driven by an internal three-channel Class-D amplifier that receives DC power and balanced audio over a single cable. A Phoenix 5-pin connection carries both power and audio from a Meyer Sound MPS IntelligentDC power supply.

Product Description

The ULTRA-X23XP uses Meyer Sound's IntelligentDC technology to receive 48 V DC power and balanced audio through a single Phoenix 5-pin connector, eliminating AC wiring conduits at each loudspeaker while preserving self-powered performance. The amplifier and processing circuits store DC power and tolerate voltage drops, accommodating light-gauge cables and runs up to 150 feet with about 1 dB of loss using 18 AWG power conductors. A concentric driver configuration provides coaxial-style point-source behavior with directional control of frequencies down to 600 Hz, and phase-corrected electronics maintain flat amplitude and phase response. Power is supplied by the two-channel MPS-482HP or the eight-channel MPS-488HP. For the wide-coverage IntelligentDC model, see the ULTRA-X20XP; for the AC self-powered broad model, see the ULTRA-X23, or browse the full Meyer Sound range. Pair with a 750-LFC to extend low-frequency output.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the ULTRA-X23XP powered?
It uses Meyer Sound's IntelligentDC technology, receiving 48 V DC power and balanced audio through a single Phoenix 5-pin connector from an MPS-482HP or MPS-488HP power supply.

How does it differ from the AC ULTRA-X23?
The XP version is externally powered over a single composite cable rather than using a local AC connection, while retaining the same broad 110° x 110° coverage and acoustic performance.

When should I choose the broad ULTRA-X23XP coverage?
Choose the 110° x 110° pattern for near-field and short-throw fills, under-balcony coverage, low-ceiling rooms, and wide audience areas.

Does it require an external power supply?
Yes. A Meyer Sound MPS IntelligentDC power supply (MPS-482HP or MPS-488HP) is required and sold separately.

Is the ULTRA-X23XP covered by warranty?
Yes. It is covered under Meyer Sound's standard product warranty. For details, please contact us.
