ULTRA XP LOUDSPEAKERS
These operating instructions document the following
Ultra XP loudspeakers:
■UPJ-1XP compact VariO loudspeaker
■UPJunior-XP ultracompact VariO loudspeaker
■UPM-1XP ultracompact wide-coverage loudspeaker
■UPM-2XP ultra-compact narrow-coverage loudspeaker
■UMS-1XP ultracompact subwoofer
NOTE: For the sake of brevity, when referring
to these loudspeaker collectively, this docu-
ment will refer to them as Ultra XP loudspeakers.
Ultra XP loudspeakers deliver the same sonic capabilities as
their equivalent AC-based models, while also offering the
advantages of IntelligentDC technology, making them an
elegant solution for installations where AC cabling is not fea-
sible. Powering Ultra XP loudspeakers from an external
MPS-488HP IntelligentDC power supply affords the flexibil-
ity of lengthy cable runs without conduits.
With IntelligentDC technology, Ultra XP loudspeakers receive
power and balanced audio from a single loudspeaker con-
nector, available as a Phoenix™ 5-pin male, sealed Switch-
Craft®EN3™ 5-pin male, or sealed ECO-M 7-pin male. The
use of composite multiconductor cables (such as Belden®
1502 or equivalent) allows a single cable to carry both DC
power and balanced audio to Ultra XP loudspeakers. Ultra XP
amplifier and signal-processing circuits store DC power and
tolerate voltage drops, thereby accommodating light-gauge
cables and lengthy cable runs.
UPJ-1XP Compact VariO Loudspeaker
The UPJ-1XP compact VariO loudspeaker includes one 10-
inch cone driver with neodymium magnet, and one 3-inch
compression driver coupled to a rotatable, constant-direc-
tivity 80-degree by 50-degree horn. The loudspeaker is
powered by a 2-channel, class D amplifier. The cabinet is
constructed of premium birch plywood and includes side
handles and heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant 6061-T6 alumi-
num end plates with threaded M8 attachment points for
QuickFly rigging options, basic eyebolt rigging, and third-
party pole assemblies.

MPS-488HP INTELLIGENTDC HIGH-POWER
EIGHT-CHANNEL POWER SUPPLY
Ultra XP loudspeakers require an external MPS-488HP
IntelligentDC power supply. The single-space 19-inch rack
unit distributes DC power and balanced audio to up to eight
Ultra XP loudspeakers, or other Meyer Sound IntelligentDC
loudspeakers. Composite multiconductor cables, such as
Belden 1502 or equivalent, can deliver both DC power and
balanced audio to loudspeakers at cable lengths up to
150 feet with just 1 dB of loss in peak SPL using 18 AWG
wire. Longer cable runs are possible with heavier gauges.
Meyer Sound’s RMS remote monitoring system is optionally
available for the MPS-488HP.
CAUTION: Disconnect the mains plug before
disconnecting the power cord from the
MPS-488HP.
TIP: For complete information on using the
MPS-488HP IntelligentDC power supply, refer
to the MPS-488HP Operating Instructions
(PN 05.205.005.01).
LATENCY OF ULTRA XP LOUDSPEAKERS
There is a very small latency of 1.58 ms for Ultra XP loud-
speakers when compared to their equivalent AC-based
models. This does not represent a problem when using
Ultra XP loudspeakers with other Ultra XP loudspeakers.
When mixing Ultra XP and AC loudspeakers in close prox-
imity, the small latency can be easily addressed with a delay
setting in a loudspeaker processor such as Meyer Sound’s
Galileo 408 or Galileo 616.

CHAPTER 2: ULTRA XP LOUDSPEAKERS
LOUDSPEAKER INPUT CONNECTOR
Ultra XP loudspeakers receive DC power and balanced audio from a single input connector, available as Phoenix™ 5-pin
male, SwitchCraft®EN3™ 5-pin male, or ECO-M 7-pin male. The sealed EN3 and ECO-M connectors are ideal for outdoor,
all-weather use. To function properly, Ultra XP loudspeakers require an external MPS-488HP IntelligentDC power supply.
All connectors include two pins for DC power (positive and negative) and three pins for balanced audio (positive, negative, and
shield). Pin outputs are clearly labeled on loudspeaker user panels (pins 3 and 4 for ECO-M connectors are not used by
Ultra XP loudspeakers). Ultra XP loudspeakers ship with an appropriate cable accessory for assembling loudspeaker cables
(see Table 1). For more information, see “Belden 1502 Cable (or Equivalent)” on page 10 and Appendix B, “Assembling Loud-
speaker Cables.”
CAUTION: When wiring Ultra XP loudspeaker cables, it is extremely important that each pin be wired correctly.
Make sure the 48 V DC from the external power supply is wired directly (and only) to the 48 V DC pins on the
loudspeaker connector, and that the polarity is observed (negative to negative, positive to positive) to avoid damage
to the loudspeaker. In addition, make sure that audio pins are wired correctly; polarity reversals for audio signals
affect system performance.

CURRENT DRAW AND CABLE REQUIRE-
MENTS FOR ULTRA XP LOUDSPEAKERS
DC current draw for Ultra XP loudspeakers is dynamic and
fluctuates as operating levels change. Cabling between
Ultra XP loudspeakers and their external power supply adds
resistance and hence causes a voltage a drop at the loud-
speakers. Because lower DC voltages compromise amplifier
performance (peak SPL), and in some cases frequency
response, cable resistance should be kept to a minimum.
Cable Lengths and Cable Gauges
Cable lengths up to 150 feet between the Ultra XP loud-
speakers and their external power supply are supported
with only 1 dB of peak SPL loss using 18 AWG wire. Longer
cable lengths are possible with heavier wire gauges (see
Table 2 and Table 3).
NOTE: The total cable resistance between
Ultra XP loudspeakers and their external power
supply should not exceed 2 ohms.
NOTE: For long cable runs, you can use a large
cable gauge for DC power and a separate bal-
anced audio cable for audio. For more information,
see “Long Cable Runs with Separate Cable for DC
Power and Audio” on page 11.
Calculating the Maximum Cable Length
The maximum cable length for an Ultra XP loudspeaker can
be calculated with the following formula:
maximum length = 2 ohms / 2 * cable resistance
For example, the maximum length of an 18 AWG cable with
a resistance of 0.00636 is 157.2 feet (2 / 2 * 0.00636).
BELDEN 1502 CABLE (OR EQUIVALENT)
The most convenient method of wiring Ultra XP loudspeaker
cables is with a multiconductor cable such as Belden 1502,
which has dedicated conductors for DC power and bal-
anced audio in a single jacket. When wiring loudspeaker
cables with Belden 1502, use the conventions in Table 4.
The red and black wires are 18 AWG, thicker than the other
three wires, and should be used for DC power (cable lengths
up to 150 feet are possible with just 1 dB of peak SPL loss).
The blue, white, and shield drain wires should be used for
audio.
CAUTION: When wiring Ultra XP loudspeaker
cables, it is extremely important that each pin
be wired correctly. Make sure the 48 V DC from the
external power supply is wired directly (and only) to
the 48 V DC pins on the loudspeaker connector, and
that the polarity is observed (negative to negative,
positive to positive) to avoid damage to the loud-
speaker. In addition, make sure that audio pins are
wired correctly; polarity reversals for audio signals
affect system performance.

NOTE: For more information on cable assem-
bly, refer to Appendix B, “Assembling Loud-
speaker Cables.”
NOTE: For a complete list of available cables
and cable accessories from Meyer Sound,
refer to Appendix A, “Ultra XP Accessories.”
LONG CABLE RUNS WITH SEPARATE CABLE
FOR DC POWER AND AUDIO
For installations where Belden 1502 is not feasible, or for
installations that require cable runs longer than 150 feet, you
can use separate cables for DC power and balanced audio:
a large-gauge cable for DC and a high-quality, balanced
audio cable for audio. The separate cables attach to the
Phoenix connector at the loudspeaker as shown in the
Figure 1. Cable runs longer than 150 feet for DC power
require cable gauges larger than 18 AWG; for more informa-
tion, see “Cable Lengths and Cable Gauges” on page 10.
EN3-TO-PIGTAIL CABLES
Ultra XP loudspeakers with EN3 connectors ship with an
EN3 5-pin-to-pigtail cable. The EN3 end of the cable con-
nects directly to the loudspeaker input connector. The pigtail
end of the cable, which connects to the external power sup-
ply, can be terminated with either an EN3 5-pin male con-
nector (included with the MPS-488HPe) or a Phoenix 5-pin
female connector (included with the MPS-488HPp). The pig-
tail can also be spliced to a longer loudspeaker cable or to a
junction box. The EN3-to-pigtail cable uses Belden 1502
cable (or equivalent), which can be wired for both DC power
and balanced audio. The EN3-to-pigtail cable is available in
plenum or regular (non-plenum) versions.
LIMIT LEDS
When source levels for Ultra XP loudspeakers exceed maxi-
mum input levels for its drivers, limiting is engaged and is
indicated by the two Limit LEDs on the rear user panel. The
bottom LED indicates limiting for low-frequency channels.
The top LED indicates limiting for high-frequency channels.
When engaged, limiting not only protects the drivers, but
also prevents signal peaks from causing excessive distor-
tion in the amplifier’s channels, thereby preserving head-
room and maintaining smooth frequency responses at high
levels. When source levels return to normal, below the lim-
iter’s threshold, limiting ceases.
Ultra XP loudspeakers perform within their acoustical speci-
fications at normal temperatures when the Limit LEDs are
unlit, or when the LEDs are lit for 2 seconds or less and then
turn off for at least 1 second. If an LED remains lit for longer
than 3 seconds, the loudspeaker enters hard limiting where:
■Increases to the input level have no effect.
■Distortion increases due to clipping and nonlinear driver
operation.
■Drivers are subjected to excessive heat and excursion,
compromising their life span.
CAUTION: The Limit LEDs indicate when a
safe, optimum level has been exceeded. If an
Ultra XP loudspeaker begins to limit before reaching
the required SPL, consider adding more loudspeak-
ers to the system.

ON/STATUS LED
The On/Status LED on the user panel indicates whether an
Ultra XP loudspeaker is operating normally (green), over-
heating (yellow), or clipping (red).
Normal Operation (Green)
The On/Status LED is green during normal operation, when
the loudspeaker is powered on.
Overheating and Limiter Threshold (Yellow)
The On/Status LED turns solid yellow when the loud-
speaker’s internal temperature reaches 75° C (167° F), indi-
cating the unit is reaching its maximum heat dissipation.
When the On/Status LED is yellow, a reduction in SPL is rec-
ommended. While the loudspeaker will continue to operate
while the On/Status LED is yellow, the limiter threshold is
lowered by 6 dB (causing the output level to also be
reduced) to prevent the loudspeaker from overheating.
When the internal temperature cools to 60° C (140° F), the
On/Status LED changes from yellow to green and the limiter
threshold returns to normal.
Amplifier Cooling System
Amplifiers for Ultra XP loudspeakers rely solely on natural
convection for cooling from air flowing over their heat sinks.
The efficient amplifier and heat sink design keeps tempera-
tures low, even when units are operated at high ambient
temperatures, in tightly packed configurations, and driven
continuously at high output levels.
CAUTION: The Ultra XP loudspeaker’s heat
sink can reach temperatures up to 75° C
(167° F) during extreme operation. Use extreme cau-
tion when approaching the rear of the loudspeaker.
Clipping on Input (Red)
The On/Status LED turns red when the loudspeaker’s input
stage clips. When the On/Status LED is red, the source level
should be reduced to avoid distortion and to avoid overload-
ing the amplifier.

CHAPTER 3: POWERING ULTRA XP LOUDSPEAKERS
Ultra XP loudspeakers require an external MPS-488HP
IntelligentDC power supply. The single-space 19-inch rack
unit distributes DC power and balanced audio to up to eight
Ultra XP loudspeakers, or other Meyer Sound IntelligentDC
loudspeakers. Composite multiconductor cables, such as
Belden 1502 or equivalent, can deliver both DC power and
balanced audio to loudspeakers at cable lengths up to
150 feet with just 1 dB of loss in peak SPL using 18 AWG
wire. Longer cable runs are possible with heavier gauges.
Meyer Sound’s RMS remote monitoring system is optionally
available for the MPS-488HP.
TIP: For complete information on using the
MPS-488HP IntelligentDC power supply, refer
to the MPS-488HP Operating Instructions
(PN 05.205.005.01).
To power Ultra XP loudspeakers with the MPS-488HP:
1. Power off the MPS-488HP.
2. Connect audio sources (from a mixer or processor) to the
MPS-488HP channel inputs. Use balanced XLR cables.
3. Use the MPS-488HP Link switches to route channel
inputs to the desired channel outputs. For information on
the MPS-488HP Link switches, refer to the MPS-488HP
Operating Instructions (PN 05.205.005.01).
4. Connect loudspeakers to the MPS-488HP channel out-
puts. Use composite cables (such as Belden 1502 or
equivalent) wired for both DC power and balanced audio
and outfitted with the appropriate connectors.
■When connecting loudspeakers equipped with Phoenix
connectors to the MPS-488HPp power supply, use
Phoenix 5-pin male to Phoenix 5-pin female cables.
TIP: You can use two separate cables for loud-
speaker connections: a 2-conductor cable for
DC power and a 3-conductor cable for balanced
audio, both attached to a single Phoenix connector
on each cable end. This allows you to use a larger

cable runs (see “Long Cable Runs with Separate
Cable for DC Power and Audio” on page 11).
■When connecting loudspeakers equipped with EN3 con-
nectors to the MPS-488HPe power supply, use EN3 5-
pin male to EN3 5-pin female cables.
■To join two EN3 cables, one with an EN3 5-pin male
cable mount connector to one with an EN3 5-pin female
cable mount connector, use an EN3 5-pin female-to-
male cable coupler (PN 28.163.033.01).
■When connecting loudspeakers equipped with ECO-M
connectors to the MPS-488HPp power supply, use
Phoenix 5-pin male to ECO-M 7-pin female cables.
CAUTION: Make sure loudspeaker cables are
wired correctly. For details on assembling loud-
speaker cables, refer to Appendix B, “Assembling
Loudspeaker Cables.”
5. Power on the MPS-488HP and monitor the LEDs on the
front panel to verify connections. For information on the
MPS-488HP LEDs, refer to the MPS-488HP Operating
Instructions (PN 05.205.005.01).
6. Check the On/Status LEDs on the loudspeaker rear user
panels and verify they are green (ready to reproduce
audio).
7. Enable output from the audio sources (from the mixer or
processor) connected to the MPS-488HP.

CHAPTER 4: MOUNTING ULTRA XP LOUDSPEAKERS
IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
When installing Meyer Sound loudspeakers, the following
precautions should always be observed:
■All Meyer Sound products must be used in accordance
with local, state, federal, and industry regulations. It is
the owner’s and user’s responsibility to evaluate the reli-
ability of any rigging or mounting method for their appli-
cation. Rigging should only be carried out by
experienced professionals.
■Use mounting and rigging hardware that has been rated
to meet or exceed the weight being hung.
■Make sure to attach mounting hardware to the building's
structural components (studs or joists), and not just to
the wall surface. Verify that the building's structure and
the anchors used for the installation will safely support
the total weight of the mounted loudspeakers.
■Use mounting hardware appropriate for the surface
where the loudspeaker will be installed.
■Make sure bolts are tightened securely. Meyer Sound
recommends using Loctite®on bolt threads and safety
cables.
■Inspect mounting and rigging hardware regularly. Imme-
diately replace any worn or damaged components.

POLES AND POLE-MOUNT ADAPTERS
The following poles and pole-mount adapters are available for Ultra XP loudspeakers. The MSA-UPM pole-mount adapter
mounts a single UPM-1XP or UPM-2XP loudspeaker. The (third-party) Ultimate Support BMB-200K pole-mount adapter
mounts a single UPJ-1XP or UPJunior-XP loudspeaker; it can also mount two cabinets with a U-bracket and array adapter
kit (see Figure 2 on page 19). The MPS-UMS pole allows a single Ultra XP loudspeaker to be mounted above the UMS-1XP
subwoofer (Figure 3 on page 21).
CAUTION: When pole-mounting Ultra XP loudspeakers with third-party hardware, make sure the pole and
pole-mount adapter have been rated to support the total weight of the loudspeaker. Observe all safety precau-
tions specified by the manufacturer.
