Meyer Sound UPM-1XP 2x5" Active Speaker, 3-Pin Input, PHX-5 (Weather-Resistant) - 09.084.140.16

Product Overview

The Meyer Sound UPM-1XP Weather-Resistant is a compact, externally powered wide-coverage loudspeaker that combines IntelligentDC technology with weather protection for fixed outdoor and exposed installations. It delivers the same high sound pressure levels, low distortion, and symmetrical 100° by 100° coverage as the standard UPM-1XP, drawing both 48 V DC power and balanced audio over a single cable. This configuration uses a Phoenix 5-pin male connector, a terminal-style interface convenient for installed systems. It is an effective choice for frontfill, under-balcony delay, and vocal reinforcement in venues where the loudspeaker is exposed to the elements.

Product Description

The UPM-1XP combines two 5-inch low-frequency cone drivers with a 1-inch metal dome tweeter on a constant-directivity horn, all driven by a three-channel class D amplifier with active crossover, phase correction, and driver protection. The two woofers operate in parallel at low frequencies, with one rolling off above 320 Hz to suppress comb filtering and maintain consistent midrange response. This weather-protected version adds treatment for fixed installations exposed to the elements, while retaining the IntelligentDC advantage of receiving DC power and balanced audio over a single cable with tolerance for voltage drops across long, light-gauge runs. It requires a Meyer Sound IntelligentDC external power supply such as the MPS-482HP or MPS-488HP. For the AC-powered platform, see the Meyer Sound UPM-1P, and add the Meyer Sound 750-LFC subwoofer for full-range output. Explore the full Meyer Sound collection at Creation Networks.
