Meyer Sound UPQ-D2 Large Point-Source Loudspeaker with 5-Pin XLR

The UPQ-D2 offers a focused beamwidth, which yields precise coverage and minimal interaction with walls and neighboring loudspeakers in arrays. This feature makes it an ideal solution for small to mid-sized venues, houses of worship, theaters, and nightclubs—as either a stand-alone loudspeaker or as part of an array. The Constant-Q horn’s smooth and accurate performance, the result of meticulous research in Meyer Sound’s anechoic chamber, exhibits a remarkably consistent beamwidth in both the horizontal and vertical planes across a wide frequency range of 1–18 kHz. The UPQ‑D2 horn also delivers uniform attenuation for all frequencies outside the specified beamwidth.

Features:

• Wide horizontal pattern covers broad listening areas and focused vertical pattern allows precise coverage
• Highly energy efficient amplifier with sophisticated digital signal processing that provides extraordinarily flat amplitude and phase response for tonal accuracy and precise imaging
• Integral stand mount and QuickFly mounting options facilitate rigging
• Constant-Q horn affords uniform response throughout coverage area
• Exceptional size to power ratio provides application flexibility
• Consistent and predictable performance ensures accurate system design
