Meyer Sound UP-4Slim 2x4" 3-Way Active Speaker, M8, 5-Pin Inpu...
Product Overview
The Meyer Sound UP-4slim Weather-Resistant is an ultracompact, self-powered installation loudspeaker that combines a slim aluminum enclosure with weather protection for exposed and outdoor fixed installations. It uses IntelligentDC technology to receive 48 V DC power and balanced audio over a single Phoenix 5-pin connector, eliminating AC conduit while preserving self-powered performance. Three channels of class D amplification drive two 4-inch cone transducers and a 1-inch metal dome tweeter for high SPL, low distortion, and uniform 100° by 100° coverage. With a properly installed rain hood it carries an IPx5 rating, making it well suited to covered outdoor frontfill, fill, and vocal reinforcement.
Product Description
The UP-4slim pairs two 4-inch low-frequency cone drivers with a 1-inch metal dome tweeter on a constant-directivity horn, with the woofers working in parallel at low frequencies and one rolling off higher up to maintain constant directivity through the crossover region. A three-channel class D amplifier with integral digital signal processing provides the flat frequency and phase response characteristic of Meyer Sound IntelligentDC loudspeakers, delivering a 65 Hz to 18 kHz operating range and 116.5 dB linear peak SPL. This weather-protected version is rated IPx5 with a properly installed rain hood, and its amplifier stores DC power and tolerates voltage drops so composite cables such as Belden 1502 can carry both power and audio up to 150 feet with about 1 dB of peak SPL loss using 18 AWG wire. It requires a Meyer Sound IntelligentDC external power supply such as the MPS-482HP or MPS-488X. For a wider-coverage two-way alternative, see the Meyer Sound UPM-1XP, and add the Meyer Sound 750-LFC subwoofer for full-range output. Explore the full Meyer Sound collection at Creation Networks.
Key Features
- Weather Protection — Rated IPx5 with a properly installed rain hood for covered outdoor and exposed fixed installations.
- Slim Aluminum Enclosure — The box-shaped aluminum cabinet measures just 4.29 inches wide and weighs 14 lb for discreet integration.
- IntelligentDC Technology — A single Phoenix 5-pin cable delivers both 48 V DC power and balanced audio, removing the need for AC conduit at each loudspeaker.
- Three-Channel Amplification — An integrated class D amplifier with 500 W peak output and advanced digital signal processing drives each transducer on its own channel.
- Two 4-Inch Drivers and Metal Dome Tweeter — Two 4-inch cone transducers and a 1-inch metal dome tweeter deliver a smooth, wide-band response with low distortion.
- Constant-Directivity Crossover — A unique crossover design rolls one woofer off at higher frequencies to eliminate comb filtering through the crossover region.
- Wide Symmetrical Coverage — Matched 100° horizontal and 100° vertical coverage allows fewer loudspeakers to cover larger areas.
- M8 Rigging Points — Top and bottom aluminum plates with M8 threads accept the optional MUB-UP-4slim bracket and MYA-UP-4slim yoke.
Typical Applications
- House of Worship — Provides vocal reinforcement and frontfill for covered outdoor courtyards and exposed worship areas with weather protection.
- Auditorium — Serves as frontfill or fill in venues with exposed or semi-outdoor seating where a slim, protected cabinet is needed.
- Government Space — Delivers clear voice reinforcement at exposed ceremonial and assembly areas with centralized power supplies.
- Multi-Purpose Room — Supports flexible indoor and covered-outdoor events requiring a compact, weather-protected loudspeaker.
