MEYER SOUND’S ULTRASERIES LOUDSPEAKERS
UPJunior is a member of Meyer Sound’s UltraSeries. The UltraSeries is where it all began for Meyer Sound with the introduction of the UM-1
UltraMonitor, followed shortly thereafter by the UPA-1. The UPA-1 was a milestone in sound reinforcement, leading to its being honored as
an inaugural inductee into the TECnology Hall of Fame. The trapezoidal shape of the UPA-1 cabinet was a breakthrough important enough to
be recognized by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, which issued Meyer Sound one of its first patents for the innovation. The trapezoidal
shape, which allows cabinets to be easily arrayed, is now standard in the industry. The UPA-1 and UM-1 were also the first processor-
controlled loudspeakers, another Meyer Sound advance that is now commonplace.
The 1997 release of the UPA-1P marked yet one more major step forward: the first high-output, self-powered system in a compact package.
The appearance of the UPA-1P spurred numerous imitations by other manufacturers, but Meyer Sound remains the only manufacturer fully
committed to self-powered systems. More than 12 years after it first pioneered self-powering, Meyer Sound’s singular experience and
substantial investment in research are clearly demonstrated in the performance and consistency of its over 40 self-powered loudspeakers.
The UPA-1P is the self-powered version
of the landmark loudspeaker that
introduced the trapezoidal cabinet and
processor control of loudspeakers.
The UPJ-1P introduced the rotatable
VariO horn and flexible mounting found
in UPJunior.
The UPM-1P is often used for fill
applications, spot coverage, and as a
main loudspeaker in small systems.
