About the Meyer Sound UPM-1P Ultra-Compact Wide Coverage Loudspeaker
The Meyer Sound UPM-1P is an ultra-compact, self-powered loudspeaker designed to deliver high-fidelity sound reproduction in applications where space is at a premium and wide, even coverage is essential. As a member of the renowned UPM series, this loudspeaker integrates a high-quality amplifier and dedicated signal processing within its exceptionally small enclosure, providing a complete, point-source solution that requires no external components for operation. Its two-way design features a carefully matched low-frequency driver and a high-frequency compression driver coupled to a wide-dispersion waveguide, engineered to produce a consistent and predictable sound field. This makes it an ideal choice for distributed systems in architectural environments, such as conference rooms, retail spaces, museums, and houses of worship, where discreet appearance and clear, natural speech reproduction are paramount.
The loudspeaker’s performance is distinguished by its broad, smooth coverage pattern, which ensures uniform sound distribution throughout a listening area with minimal hot spots or dead zones. The integrated electronics are precisely tuned to the transducer’s characteristics, incorporating crossover, equalization, and protective limiting from Meyer Sound’s comprehensive preset library. This internal optimization guarantees that the loudspeaker performs exactly as the acoustic designers intended, delivering transparent audio with high intelligibility and the ability to produce substantial output levels from its modest physical size. The loudspeaker can be easily integrated into larger systems using Meyer Sound’s Galileo or System Controllers for delay, EQ, and system alignment, ensuring seamless performance in complex installations.
Constructed with a durable, low-profile enclosure made from fiberglass-reinforced structural foam, the UPM-1P is both lightweight and exceptionally rigid, reducing unwanted cabinet resonance. Its subtle, rounded shape and neutral finish allow it to blend unobtrusively into various architectural settings. Multiple integrated mounting points provide flexible installation options, including wall, ceiling, or truss mounting, often using a dedicated yoke. The combination of self-powered convenience, proven sonic accuracy, and compact form factor has established the Meyer Sound UPM-1P as a benchmark for high-performance, miniature loudspeaker systems in demanding professional audio applications where space and aesthetics cannot be compromised.
