The Meyer Sound UPL-1 is a self-contained, high-definition powered loudspeaker that is a suitable for a wide variety of high-quality sound reinforcement applications. It is optimized to approximate a true point-source radiator within its coverage area, and features a frequency response of ±2 dB from 50 Hz to 18 kHz.

The UPL-1 comprises a 10-inch cone low-frequency driver and 1-inch high-frequency driver with 90° by 40° modified radial horn housed in a vented cabinet. An active crossover, optimized pole-zero response correction filters, loudspeaker element protection circuitry and dual power amplifiers are built directly into the enclosure.

Both UPL-1 drivers are of a proprietary design and are individually factory-tested for maximum linearity. The high-frequency horn driver is of an entirely new configuration, employing a titantium dome and fabric suspension in a patented, low distortion design (U.S. patent number 4,152,552). It is coupled to a modified radial horn that provides excellent directivity control with wide horizontal high-frequency coverage.

The UPL-1's power amplifiers utilize complementary power MOSFET output stages in a class AB configuration. Input sensitivity is switchable to either +4 dBu or -10 dBV.
