Product Description
SURPRISING POWER IN A COMPACT PACKAGE
The UPA loudspeakers provide high power output, low distortion, and consistent polar response in a compact, vented two-way enclosure for exceptional fidelity and extended high-frequency performance.
EXCEPTIONAL MEYER SOUND TECHNOLOGY
The Constant-Q horn affords uniform response throughout the coverage area, be it wide (UPA-1P) or narrow (UPA-2P). In addition, extraordinarily flat amplitude and phase response allow for tonal accuracy and precise imaging.
MAKES DESIGNING A BREEZE
Predictable array performance ensures system design flexibility. Optional rigging frame, mounting yoke and pole mount adaptors allow fast, flexible installation and easy aiming.
