Meyer Sound's self-powered UPQ-1P wide coverage loudspeaker has won the 25th Annual Technical Excellence and Creativity (TEC) Award in the Sound Reinforcement Loudspeaker Technology category. The awards were announced at the 127th Audio Engineering Society (AES) Convention in New York City on October 10, 2009. The TEC Award is one in a string of accolades acknowledging the UPQ-1P, including the Musikmesse International Press Award (MIPA) and Live Design's Sound Product of the Year. This is also Meyer Sound's seventh TEC award, following the 2008 TEC Award bestowed on the company's UPJunior VariO loudspeaker. "From its flexible rigging to well-behaved coverage pattern and superior sonic quality, the UPQ is designed to offer versatility in touring, rental, and fixed installations," says Pablo Espinosa, VP of Research and Development at Meyer Sound. "We put a lot of engineering efforts into giving our customers an advantage with quality tools for use in different applications and for many years. We are pleased with the recognition and will continue to work closely with the industry to develop new audio solutions." The UPQ-1P delivers a peak SPL of 136 dB combined with low-distortion performance, flexible rigging options, and wide, uniform 80x50-degree coverage. System designers have found these features useful for creating high-performance sound systems in applications such as the "Star Wars: In Concert" tour and "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," as well as installations in the Texan Dome at South Plain College, Baby'O Club in Mexico, Theater De Voorveghter, Theater De Naald, and Theater De Tamboer in the Netherlands, France's Le Glaz'art music venue, Las Vegas's Mirage Volcano spectacle, and California Academy of Sciences' Hearst Forum.
