About the Meyer Sound UMS-1P UltraCompact Powered Subwoofer
The Meyer Sound UMS-1P is an ultra-compact, self-powered subwoofer engineered to deliver significant low-frequency extension and impact in space-constrained professional audio applications. As part of Meyer Sound's esteemed product line, it incorporates the company's hallmark standards of precise engineering, predictable performance, and rugged reliability into a remarkably small footprint. The subwoofer is fully active, housing a high-efficiency Class-D amplifier, advanced DSP processing, and a proprietary high-excursion driver within its sealed enclosure. This integrated design ensures optimal performance and eliminates the guesswork associated with matching external amplifiers and processors, providing a streamlined, plug-and-play solution for enhancing the low-end of any full-range system.
Performance is characterized by exceptional control, clarity, and musicality in the low-frequency spectrum. The onboard DSP is pre-configured with factory presets that are meticulously tuned to the transducer and enclosure, but it also offers user-adjustable parameters via Meyer Sound's Compass control software for system optimization. This allows for precise tuning of crossover points, phase alignment, and equalization to seamlessly integrate with a wide variety of main loudspeakers, including Meyer's own ULTRA-X series and other full-range systems. The UMS-1P is designed to deliver tight, articulate bass with minimal distortion, making it equally suitable for reinforcing music program material in clubs and live performance venues, as well as providing the foundational low-frequency effects (LFE) in demanding home theater and immersive audio installations where space is at a premium.
Built for durability and ease of deployment, the enclosure is constructed from rigid plywood with a textured, impact-resistant finish. Its compact size and relatively lightweight design, combined with multiple integrated ergonomic handles, make transportation and positioning straightforward. The unit features comprehensive connectivity, typically including both analog and digital audio inputs, and provides data connectivity for system monitoring and control. By delivering powerful, controlled low frequencies from such a compact enclosure, the Meyer Sound UMS-1P solves the common challenge of adding substantial bass reinforcement where physical space is limited, without compromising on the audio quality and system intelligence expected from a premium manufacturer.
