Meyer Sound Ultra-X40 Series
A versatile solution with incredible power-to-size performance.
Model Description
More About The Meyer Sound ULTRA-X40 and X42
The ULTRA-X40 is more powerful, with more headroom and better low-end response. The ULTRA-X20 is more compact and lighter, ideal for situations where size, weight or appearance are important, such as theatres and exhibition spaces.
The X40 is often used as the main speaker, while the X20 is used as a secondary speaker: front fill, monitor or delay.
What all models have in common:
2 x 8″ woofers + 3″ compression driver
Higher output power than the X20 series
Bi-amping (active circuit)
Excellent linearity and directivity control
Waveguide rotation – you can rotate the horizontal and vertical angle depending on the installation
Applications: front system (FOH), installations, stage monitors, delay zones
Key Features
The difference between the Meyer Sound ULTRA-X40 and ULTRA-X42 is also in the sound coverage angle - like the X20/X22 models, but in a more powerful and larger version.
Meyer Sound X40
Suitable for most situations where wide coverage is required.
Dispersion (angle of aperture) – 110° x 50°
Meyer Sound X42
To avoid reflections from side walls or when there is a requirement to direct the sound further and narrower, for example in acoustically complex spaces or in cluster installations.
Dispersion (angle of aperture) – 70° x 50°
Precision Concentric Driver Configuration
The ULTRA-X40 brings the technology breakthroughs in our flagship line arrays to a versatile, compact loudspeaker. Its innovative concentric-driver configuration couples two 8-inch cone drivers to a rotatable waveguide surrounding a 3-inch high-frequency compression driver, to deliver smooth response across its entire range and directional control down to 400 Hz.
Impressively Powerful, Stunningly Compact
The ULTRA-X40 breaks new ground in power-to-size performance, thanks to its ultra-efficient 3-channel Class D amplifier that provides peak output of 1,950 watts with a max sustained current draw of just 1.3 A (230 V AC). All this in a speaker that's just 12.5 by 22 by 14 inches and less than 55 pounds—20 pounds lighter than its predecessor, the UPA-1P.
Broaden (Or Narrow) Your Horizons
Two horn options give you total flexibility in system design. The ULTRA-X40’s precisely-tuned, rotatable 110° x 50° Constant-Q horn delivers uniform response throughout its coverage area. Need more focused coverage? Choose the ULTRA-X42 variation, which offers a narrower 70° x 50° pattern.
Always On Point
The ULTRA-X40 brings new versatility to system design and deployment. It’s at home in any portable or installed application requiring predictable, controllable wide coverage, from concert halls and clubs to houses of worship, theatrical sound reinforcement, theme parks, stadiums, and nightclubs. It’s perfect for frontfill and under balcony use and in portable A/V systems and small voice-reinforcement systems.
