The UPJ‑1XP, with IntelligentDC technology, offers the same sonic signature, robust peak power output, and rotatable VariO horn as the UPJ‑1P, while also offering the advantages of external DC power, making it an elegant solution for installations where AC cabling is not feasible. Powering the UPJ‑1XP from an external MPS-488HP power supply affords the flexibility of lengthy cable runs without conduits.

The compact UPJ‑1XP was designed for flexibility. With a simple turn of its 80-degree by 50-degree VariO rotatable horn, it can provide optimum horizontal or vertical coverage for any installation. With its extraordinary size-to-power ratio and generous rigging options, the UPJ‑1XP is well suited for use as a single, primary loudspeaker or as part of multicabinet horizontal and vertical arrays. Applications include AV presentations, small- to medium-sized sound reinforcement systems, fill, delay, effects, and distributed systems.

Designed and manufactured at Meyer Sound’s factory in Berkeley, California, the UPJ‑1XP’s transducers include one 10-inch cone driver and one 3-inch diaphragm compression driver. The proprietary drivers are powered by an onboard 2-channel, Class-D power amplifier that delivers 300 watts of total burst power.

With IntelligentDC technology, the UPJ‑1XP receives power and balanced audio from a single loudspeaker connector, available as a Phoenix™ 5-pin male, sealed SwitchCraft® EN3™ 5-pin male, UPJ-1XP : Compact VariO™ Loudspeaker PRELIMINARY PRODUCT INFORMATION or sealed ECO‑M 7-pin male. The use of composite multiconductor cables (such as Belden® 1502 or equivalent) allows a single cable to carry both DC power and balanced audio to the UPJ‑1XP. The loudspeaker’s amplifier and signal-processing circuits store DC power and tolerate voltage drops, thereby accommodating light-gauge cables and lengthy cable runs.

UPJ‑1XP loudspeaker systems require an external MPS‑488HP IntelligentDC power supply. The rack mount multichannel power supply can deliver DC power and balanced audio to eight UPJ‑1XP loudspeakers at cable lengths up to 150 feet with just 1 dB of loss in peak SPL using 18 AWG wire. Longer cable runs are possible with heavier wire gauges.

The UPJ‑1XP cabinet is coated with a textured black finish and includes heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant 6061‑T6 aluminum end plates with threaded M8 attachment points for basic eyebolt rigging and third-party pole assemblies. QuickFly® rigging options include the MAAM‑UPJ array adapter (also made from 6061‑T6 aluminum), MUB‑UPJ U-bracket, and MYA‑UPJ mounting yoke assembly. Other options include weather protection, custom color finishes, and cabinets without handles.
