The Meyer Sound
UPL-1 and UPL-2 are
self-contained, high-
definition, powered
loudspeakers suitable
for a wide variety of
high quality sound
reinforcement appli-
cations. The UPL-1
and UPL-2 incorpo-
rate line-level control
electronics mounted
within a rear panel
chassis, including:
•
dual power
amplifiers for
biamplification
•
an active balanced
input circuit with
switchable sensi-
tivity (+4 dBu or
-10 dBV)
•
•
an active crossover
utilizing optimized
pole-zero filter
combinations to
achieve acoustical
transparency and
linear phase
The UPL-1 and UPL-2 are two-way systems
comprising a 10-inch cone low-frequency
driver and 1-inch high-frequency driver housed
in a vented cabinet. Both drivers are of a pro-
prietary design, and are individually selected
for maximum linearity. The high-frequency
horn driver employs a titanium dome and silk
Aligned to closely approximate true point
source radiators within their coverage area,
the UPL-1 and UPL-2 feature tightly controlled
time delay response with minimal deviation
from linear phase across the full frequency
range of their operation. Each unit is individu-
ally factory-calibrated to ensure a free-field

suspension in a patented, low distortion design frequency response that is flat within ±2 dB
(US patent number 4,152,552). It is coupled to
from 50 Hz to 18 kHz. The UPL-1 and UPL-2
each deliver 124 dB peak SPL (1 meter) with
a 90° by 40° modified radial horn in the UPL-1,
and to a 60° aspherical waveguide in the UPL-2. >100 dB dynamic range.

Operating Instructions
The UPL-1 and UPL-2 are are aligned for flat fre-
quency response in free field (no adjacent bound-
ary surfaces). Placing either unit next to a wall or
floor will cause the low frequencies to be exagger-
ated, requiring equalization to correct. Always
allow at least 6 inches clearance behind the
speaker for cooling airflow.
Note. The UPL-1 and UPL-2 are not weather-
resistant, and should not be installed outdoors
where they may be exposed to the elements.
To protect from hazard of shock and compo-
nent failure, avoid rain or liquid spilled on the
amplifier chassis.
Installation
To avoid accidental disconnections, the UPL-1 and
UPL-2 cabinets are fitted with four tie-wrap an-
chors located at the four corners of the rear-
mounted amplifier chassis. Power and signal input
cables may be secured by inserting a plastic lock-
ing tie-wrap through any of these anchors, wrap-
ping it around the cable(s) and locking it in place.
The UPL-1 and UPL-2 are fitted with four 3/8"-16
nut plates, two each on the enclosure top and
bottom. These may be used to attach the enclo-
sures to cables for hanging, or to a suitable sup-
port plate for mounting on a loudspeaker stand.
Each rigging nut plate is designed to support the
weight of a single cabinet.
The calibration port is for factory use only. Do not
apply external voltages to any of the connector
pins.
The UPL-1 and UPL-2 are not user-serviceable.
Refer service to an authorized Meyer Sound Ser-
vice Center or to Meyer Sound.
