Applications
The UPM-1P and UPM-2P loudspeakers are designed to be used in a wide variety of applications in sound reinforcement, as well as music playback and monitoring. In theatre sound design, the UPM-1P and UPM-2P loudspeakers may be used as fill as well as a standalone effects loudspeaker system for surround, onstage effects, and anywhere a compact device is required. For example, equally spacing UPM-1P loudspeakers across the downstage edge or under a balcony, as shown in the figure below, offers very accurate audio reproduction for theatre design.
UPM-1Ps arranged across a downstage edge
The UPM-1P loudspeaker’s wide 100-degree pattern is designed to keep sound from being too localized, allowing for more even SPL distribution across seats near the stage or any other areas the loudspeaker is intended to cover. For more focused directional control, the UPM-2P’s 45-degree beamwidth produces a narrow, symmetrical pattern to accommodate ultra-precise design requirements.
The 123 dB peak SPL of the UPM-1P and UPM-2P loudspeakers makes them an excellent choice for use as fill-in sports facilities. They can be used in stadiums and arenas as upper-level delay loudspeakers or under upper-level overhangs, as well as in suites and box seats that fall out of the main system’s direct path.
The UPM-1P and UPM-2P loudspeakers also work as stand-alone PA systems for accurate spoken word reproduction and, with the addition of a companion subwoofer, a small music reinforcement system.
In addition, because of the flatter phase and frequency response of Meyer Sound UltraSeries loudspeakers, the UPM-1P and UPM-2P loudspeakers can be ideal for high-definition music monitoring when used with a subwoofer. The wide-coverage UPM-1P loudspeaker provides better imaging in stereo and 5.1 playback applications, while the narrower UPM-2P gives you the flexibility to localize coverage in the near field.
Available QuickFly® rigging accessories— including a mounting yoke (MYA-UPM), stand adapter (MSA-UPM), and U-bracket (MUB-UPM)— attach easily to the UPM-1P and UPM-2P allowing them to be mounted or flown, either as a single cabinet or in arrays. The optional RMS remote monitoring system module allows comprehensive monitoring of all key system parameters on a remote RMS host PC.
