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 loudspeakers 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
UPJ-1XP 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.
