Sometimes Less IS More

I’ve installed a number of Meyer Sound pa systems over the years. The Meyer loudspeaker I’ve hung the most is the UPQ-1P. The UPQ-1P is a two way self powered loudspeaker. I’m always amazed at how good a pair of UPQ-1P sound with or without Meyer subs.

With the pro sound industry using line array’s for literally everything regardless of whether it’s the right tool or not, it’s refreshing to hear a system that covers well, sounds great, doesn’t cost a fortune and is free from the inherent comb filtering of horizontal &/or vertical arrays. Fortunately there are designers that agree and aren’t afraid to use a single main box per side where that is the suitable solution for a given venue.

Here a few examples of UPQ based designs that Meyer has featured in the past on their website:

Oakland’s Mills College – Littlefield Concert Hall
Austin’s Continental Club
Houston’s Improv Comedy Club
Copenhagen’s Rhythmic Music Conversatory
Germany’s Nurburgring auto racking course

The Meyer UPQ series is muy bueno!
