HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL  
UP-4XP ULTRACOMPACT LOUDSPEAKER  
Make sure to read these operating instructions in their  
entirety before configuring a loudspeaker system with  
UP-4XPs. In particular, pay close attention to material  
related to safety issues.  
The UP-4XP ultracompact loudspeaker is ideally suited for  
applications requiring a small, inconspicuous cabinet that  
also delivers high sound pressure levels, low distortion, and  
uniform directional control. The self-powered UP-4XP offers  
exceptional audio performance in a compact package with  
the advantages of a remote power supply. As a standalone  
loudspeaker, the UP-4XP can be used for vocal reinforce-  
ment, frontfill coverage, and delay coverage for under-bal-  
cony applications. The UP-4XP can also be paired with an  
optional subwoofer to create a full-range system.  
As you read these operating instructions, you will encounter  
the following icons for notes, tips, and cautions:  
NOTE: A note identifies an important or useful  
piece of information relating to the topic under  
discussion.  
TIP: A tip offers a helpful tip relevant to the topic  
at hand.  
CAUTION: A caution gives notice that an  
action may have serious consequences and  
!
could cause harm to equipment or personnel, or  
could cause delays or other problems.  
Information and specifications are subject to change.  
Updates and supplementary information are available at  
UP-4XP UltraCompact Loudspeaker  
Meyer Sound Technical Support is available at:  
The UP-4XP boasts a wide operating frequency range of  
66 Hz to 18 kHz and a maximum peak SPL of 121 dB, with  
very low distortion. The unit's high-frequency section  
includes a 1-inch metal dome tweeter on a constant-direc-  
tivity, high-frequency horn with a 100-degree beamwidth.  
The low/mid-frequency section includes two 4-inch cone  
transducers that work in parallel at low frequencies — deliv-  
ering a combined acoustic output — with one of the drivers  
rolling off at higher frequencies to prevent interference (due  
to comb filtering effects) in the crossover region. The propri-  
etary UP-4XP drivers, which are manufactured at Meyer  
Sound's factory in Berkeley, California, are powered by three  
channels of onboard power amplification that include an  
active crossover, driver protection, and frequency and phase  
correction circuitry.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION  
multiconductor cables (such as Belden® 1502 or equivalent)  
allows a single cable to carry both DC power and balanced  
audio to the UP-4XPs.  
The UP-4XP is available with either a Phoenix™ 5-pin male  
or sealed SwitchCraft® EN3™ male connector for receiving  
balanced audio and DC power. Powering the unit from an  
external source eliminates the need for wiring conduits while  
still preserving the advantages of self-powered systems.  
The UP-4XP's amplifier and signal-processing circuits are  
designed to store DC power and tolerate voltage drops,  
thereby accommodating light-gauge cables and lengthy  
cable runs.  
TIP: For complete information on using the  
MPS-488HP external power supply, refer to the  
MPS-488HP Operating Instructions.  
NOTE: The MPS-488HP external power supply  
replaces the MPS-488 model, which was origi-  
nally designed for use with MM-4XP loudspeakers.  
The MPS-488 is also compatible with UP-4XP loud-  
speakers and can drive up to four units (using every  
other Channel Output).  
UP-4XP loudspeaker systems require a 48 V DC external  
power supply, such as Meyer Sound’s MPS-488HP. The sin-  
gle-space 19-inch rack unit receives eight channels of bal-  
anced audio from its XLR female Channel Inputs and routes  
the audio, along with 48 V of DC power, to its eight Channel  
Outputs. The Channel Outputs, which are available as either  
Phoenix 5-pin male connectors or SwitchCraft EN3 5-pin  
female connectors, can deliver DC power to up to eight  
UP-4XP loudspeakers.  
The UP-4XP's durable cabinet is coated with a black tex-  
tured finish and includes top and bottom mounting plates  
with 3/8-16 or metric M10 threads. QuickFly mounting  
options include the MUB–UP4 U-bracket, MYA–UP4 cradle-  
style yoke, and 1 3/8-inch (35 mm) diameter pole-mount  
adaptor. Other UP-4XP options include weather protection  
(with the sealed EN3 connector) and custom color finishes  
for installations and applications with specific cosmetic  
Cable lengths up to 150 feet for DC power are possible  
when using 18-AWG wire, with just 1 dB of loss in peak SPL.  
Longer cable runs are possible for moderate applications  
that don't drive the loudspeakers to maximum output, or for  
installations with heavier wire gauges. The use of composite

CHAPTER 2: UP-4XP LOUDSPEAKER  
The UP-4XP is powered by an external 48 V DC power sup-  
ply, eliminating the need for wiring conduits while still pre-  
serving the advantages of self-powered loudspeaker  
systems. The unit's onboard amplifier and signal-processing  
circuits were designed to store DC power and tolerate volt-  
age drops, thereby accommodating light-gauge cables and  
lengthy cable runs.  
UP-4XP INPUT CONNECTOR  
The UP-4XP loudspeaker is available with either a Phoenix  
5-pin male or SwitchCraft EN3 5-pin male connector for  
receiving DC power and balanced audio. The EN3 connec-  
tor is ideal for outdoor, all-weather use. The input connec-  
tor’s five pins include two for DC power (negative and  
positive) and three for balanced audio (shield, negative, and  
positive). These pins are clearly labeled on the UP-4XP rear  
panel. To function properly, the UP-4XP requires 48 V of DC  
power.

Limiting (Yellow)  
!
The UP-4XP LED turns yellow to indicate limiting. When the  
LED is solid yellow, limiting is engaged for the high-fre-  
quency channel. When the LED flashes yellow (on and off),  
limiting is engaged for the low-frequency channels. When  
limiting is engaged for a channel, its gain is reduced. When  
engaged, the limiter protects the loudspeaker’s drivers and  
prevents signal peaks from causing excessive distortion in  
the loudspeaker’s amplifier, thereby preserving headroom  
and maintaining smooth frequency responses at high levels.  
When source levels return to normal, below the limiter’s  
threshold, the LED turns green and limiting ceases.  
be wired correctly. Make sure the 48 V DC from the  
external power supply is wired directly (and only) to  
the 48 V DC pins on the UP-4XP loudspeaker con-  
nector, and that the polarity is observed (negative to  
negative, positive to positive) to avoid damage to the  
loudspeaker. In addition, make sure that audio pins  
are wired correctly; polarity reversals for audio signals  
affect system performance.  
UP-4XP LED  
The UP-4XP has a three-color LED on its rear panel that  
changes color to indicate the loudspeaker’s status.  
The UP-4XP performs within its acoustical specifications at  
normal temperatures when the UP-4XP LED is green, or  
when limiting is not continuous. If limiting activity is continu-  
ous, the loudspeaker is nearing the limits of its operating  
capabilities where:  
Powering On (Green)  
When powering up the UP-4XP loudspeaker, the following  
startup events occur and are indicated by the LED:  
Increases to the input level have no effect.  
Distortion increases due to clipping and nonlinear driver  
operation.  
1. The LED flashes multiple colors during power-up  
sequence.  
The drivers are subjected to excessive heat and excur-  
sion, which will compromise their life span and may  
eventually lead to damage over time.  
2. After a pause, the LED turns solid green, indicating the  
power-up sequence has completed and the loudspeaker  
is ready to reproduce audio.  
CAUTION: The UP-4XP LED turns yellow when  
the loudspeaker’s signal rises 2 dB above the  
!
CAUTION: If after the power-up sequence the  
LED does not turn solid green (instead flashes  
multiple colors or stays solid red) and the UP-4XP  
does not output audio, the loudspeaker has encoun-  
tered an error and may need to be serviced. Contact  
Meyer Sound Technical Support.  
limiting threshold, and indicates a safe, optimum level  
has been exceeded. If the UP-4XP loudspeakers in a  
system begin to limit before reaching the desired  
SPL, consider adding more loudspeakers to the sys-  
tem to achieve the desired SPL without exposing the  
loudspeakers to excessive levels and possible over-  
heating.  
!
CAUTION: If after the power-up sequence (or  
during operating) the LED turns solid red and  
!
the loudspeaker continues to output audio, the loud-  
speaker’s voltage may have dropped below 25 V DC.  
When encountering these conditions, operation of  
the loudspeaker should cease and its power supply  
and cabling should be verified.  
UP-4XP Temperature and Limiting  
The UP-4XP LED turns solid yellow when its heat sink tem-  
perature reaches 65° C (145° F), indicating the unit is reach-  
ing its maximum heat dissipation and a reduction in SPL is  
recommended. While the UP-4XP will continue to operate  
while the LED is yellow, the limiter threshold is lowered to a  
safe level (causing the output level to be lowered by 3 dB) to  
prevent the loudspeaker from overheating. When the tem-  
perature of the heat sink cools to 50°C (122°F), the LED  
changes from yellow to green and the limiter threshold  
returns to normal.

Cable Lengths and Cable Gauges for UP-4XP  
Loudspeakers  
Cable lengths up to 150 feet between the UP-4XP and its  
external power supply are supported with only 1 dB of peak  
SPL loss using 18 AWG wire. Longer cable lengths are pos-  
sible with heavier wire gauges (see Table 1 and Table 2).  
The UP-4XP turns red when the loudspeaker’s input stage  
clips, causing the amplifier to overload. When the LED is  
red, the source level should be reduced.

though at reduced levels, the loudspeaker’s voltage  
may have dropped below 25 V DC. When these con-  
ditions are encountered, operation of the loudspeaker  
should cease and its power supply and cabling  
should be verified.

UP-4XP CURRENT DRAW AND CABLE  
REQUIREMENTS  
Each UP-4XP loudspeaker draws a maximum current of  
4.05 A continuous and 4.50 A peak from its external 48 V  
DC power supply. The current draw for the UP-4XP is  
dynamic and fluctuates as operating levels change. The  
cabling between the UP-4XP and its external power supply  
adds resistance and hence causes a voltage drop at the  
loudspeaker. Because lower DC voltages compromise  
amplifier performance (peak SPL), and in some cases fre-  
quency response, cable resistance should be kept to a mini-  
mum.

anced audio cable for audio. For more information,  
Calculating the Maximum Cable Length  
The maximum cable length for a UP-4XP can be calculated  
with the following formula:  
maximum length = 2 ohms / 2 * cable resistance  
For example, the maximum length of an 18 AWG cable with  
a resistance of 0.00636 is 157.2 feet (2 / 2 * 0.00636).

with the MPS-488HPp). The pigtail can also be spliced to a  
longer loudspeaker cable or to a junction box. The included  
EN3-to-pigtail cable uses Belden 1502 cable (or equivalent),  
which can be wired for both DC power and balanced audio.  
The EN3-to-pigtail cable is available in plenum or regular  
(non-plenum) versions.  
WIRING UP-4XP LOUDSPEAKER CABLES  
WITH BELDEN 1502 CABLE (OR EQUIVALENT)  
The most convenient method of wiring UP-4XP loudspeaker  
cables is with a multiconductor cable such as Belden 1502,  
which has dedicated conductors for DC power and bal-  
anced audio in a single jacket. When wiring UP-4XP loud-  
speaker cables with Belden 1502, use the conventions in  
Table 3. The red and black wires are 18 AWG, thicker than  
the other three wires, and should be used for DC power  
(cable lengths up to 150 feet are possible with just 1 dB of  
peak SPL loss). The blue, white, and shield drain wires are  
shielded together and should be used for audio.

connectors available from Meyer Sound that  
can be used with the UP-4XP loudspeaker, see

FOR DC POWER AND AUDIO  
Red: DC power (+)  
Black: DC power (–)  
For installations where Belden 1502 is not feasible, or for  
installations that require cable runs longer than 150 feet, you  
can use separate cables for DC power and balanced audio:  
a large-gauge cable for DC and a high-quality, balanced  
audio cable for audio. The separate cables attach to the  
Phoenix connecter at the loudspeaker as shown in the  
Figure 4. Cable runs longer than 150 feet for DC power  
require cable gauges larger than 18 AWG; for more informa-

CHAPTER 3: POWERING UP-4XP LOUDSPEAKERS  
When connecting UP-4XP loudspeakers equipped with  
Phoenix connectors to the MPS-488HPp power supply,  
use Phoenix 5-pin male to Phoenix 5-pin female cables.  
CONNECTING UP-4XP LOUDSPEAKERS TO  
THE MPS-488HP EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY  
UP-4XP loudspeakers require a Meyer Sound 48 V DC  
external power supply, such the MPS-488HP. The single-  
space 19-inch rack unit receives eight channels of balanced  
audio from its XLR female Channel Inputs and routes the  
audio, along with 48 V of DC power, to its eight Channel  
Outputs. The Channel Outputs, which are available as either  
Phoenix 5-pin male connectors or SwitchCraft EN3 5-pin  
female connectors, can deliver DC power to up to eight  
UP-4XP loudspeakers. Cable lengths up to 150 feet for DC  
power are possible when using 18-AWG wire, with just 1 dB  
of loss in peak SPL. Longer cable runs are possible for mod-  
erate applications that don't drive the loudspeakers to maxi-  
mum output, or for installations with heavier wire gauges.  
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 the UP-4XPs.  
TIP: For complete information on using the  
MPS-488HP external power supply, refer to the  
MPS-488HP Operating Instructions.  
MPS-488HPp  
To connect UP-4XP loudspeakers to the MPS-488HP:  
1. Power off the MPS-488HP.  
2. Connect audio sources (from a mixer or processor) to the  
MPS-488HP Channel Inputs. Use balanced XLR cables.  
3. Use the MPS-488HP Link switches to route Channel  
Inputs to the desired Channel Outputs. For information  
on the MPS-488HP Link switches, refer to the  
MPS-488HP Operating Instructions.  
4. Connect the UP-4XP loudspeakers to the MPS-488HP  
Channel Outputs. Use composite cables (such as  
Belden 1502 or equivalent) wired for both DC power and  
balanced audio and outfitted with the appropriate con-  
nectors.  
MPS-488HPp with Eight UP-4XP Loudspeakers  
TIP: You can use two separate cables for  
UP-4XP loudspeaker connections: a 2-conduc-  
tor cable for DC power and a 3-conductor cable for  
balanced audio, both attached to a single Phoenix  
connector on each cable end. This allows you to use

CHAPTER 3: POWERING UP-4XP LOUDSPEAKERS  
When connecting UP-4XP loudspeakers equipped with  
EN3 connectors to the MPS-488HPe power supply, use  
EN3 5-pin male to EN3 5-pin female cables.  
To join two EN3 cables, one with an EN3 5-pin male  
cable mount connector to one with an EN3 5-pin female  
cable mount connector, use an EN3 5-pin female-to-  
male cable coupler (PN 28.163.033.01).  
CAUTION: Make sure UP-4XP loudspeaker  
cables are wired correctly. For details on  
!
5. Power on the MPS-488HP and monitor the LEDs on the  
front panel to verify connections. For information on the  
MPS-488HP LEDs, refer to the MPS-488HP Operating  
Instructions.  
6. Check the LEDs on the UP-4XP rear panels and verify  
they are green (ready to reproduce audio).

UP-4XP OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
NOTE: These guidelines do not apply to the  
MPS-488HP external power supply, which can  
drive up to eight UP-4XP loudspeakers.  
CONNECTING UP-4XP LOUDSPEAKERS TO  
THE MPS-488 EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY  
The original MPS-488 was designed for use with the  
MM-4XP miniature loudspeaker. While the MPS-488 can  
power up to eight MM-4XP loudspeakers, it can only power  
up to four UP-4XP loudspeakers (due to the UP-4XP’s  
higher power requirements and current draw).  
NOTE: The MPS-488HP external power supply  
replaces the MPS-488 model, which was origi-  
nally designed for use with MM-4XP loudspeakers.  
The MPS-488 is also compatible with UP-4XP loud-  
speakers and can drive up to four units (using every  
other Channel Output).  
Because the MPS-488 can power a maximum of four  
UP-4XP loudspeakers, the loudspeakers should only be  
connected to Channel Outputs 1, 3, 5, and 7. Do not use the  
even-numbered channel outputs.

CHAPTER 4: QUICKFLY RIGGING  
The UP-4XP includes top and bottom mounting plates with  
3/8-16 or metric M10 threaded nuts. QuickFly mounting  
options include the MUB-UP4 U-bracket, MYA-UP4 cradle-  
style yoke, and MSA-UPM pole-mount adaptor.  
POLE-MOUNTING UP-4XP LOUDSPEAKERS  
You can mount the UP-4XP on a third-party loudspeaker  
stand with the optional MSA-UPM stand adapter  
(PN 40.086.013.01). The MSA-UPM kit includes both 3/8-16  
and M10 hardware. To install the adapter, attach the adhe-  
sive-backed cork washer to the stand (not to the loud-  
speaker), and secure the stand to the loudspeaker with the  
bolt and washer.  
IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS  
When installing Meyer Sound loudspeakers, the following  
precautions should always be observed:  
All Meyer Sound products must be used in accordance  
with local, state, federal, and industry regulations. It is  
the owner’s and user’s responsibility to evaluate the reli-  
ability of any rigging or mounting method for their appli-  
cation. Rigging should only be carried out by  
experienced professionals.  
Use mounting and rigging hardware that has been rated  
to meet or exceed the weight being hung.  
Make sure to attach mounting hardware to the building's  
structural components (studs or joists), and not just to  
the wall surface. Verify that the building's structure and  
the anchors used for the installation will safely support  
the total weight of the mounted loudspeakers.  
Use mounting hardware appropriate for the surface  
where the loudspeaker will be installed.  
Make sure bolts are tightened securely. Meyer Sound  
recommends using Loctite® on bolt threads and safety  
cables.  
Inspect mounting and rigging hardware regularly. Imme-  
diately replace any worn or damaged components.  
UP-4XP with MSA-UPM Stand Adapter (Upside Down)  
CAUTION: When mounting the UP-4XP on a  
pole, make sure the pole has been rated to  
!
support the full weight of the loudspeaker. Observe  
all safety precautions specified by the pole manufac-  
turer.

NOTE: Bulk cables use Belden 1502R (regular) or Belden 1502P (plenum) cable. Belden 1502 is a composite  
cable comprised of two 18 AWG wires for DC power, two 22 AWG wires for balanced audio, and one 24 AWG  
wire for audio shield. This single cable can deliver both DC power and balanced audio to loudspeakers at cable runs  
of up to 150 feet with only 1 dB of loss in peak SPL. Longer cable runs are possible with heavier gauges for DC  
power and separate cables for balanced audio. For more information, see “UP-4XP Current Draw and Cable

APPENDIX B: PHOENIX AND EN3 CABLE ASSEMBLY  
CAUTION: When wiring UP-4XP loudspeaker cables, it is extremely important that each pin be wired correctly.  
Make sure the 48 V DC from the external power supply is wired directly (and only) to the 48 V DC pins on the  
!
UP-4XP loudspeaker connector, and that the polarity is observed (negative to negative, positive to positive) to avoid  
damage to the loudspeaker. In addition, make sure that audio pins are wired correctly; polarity reversals for audio sig-  
nals affect system performance.  
ASSEMBLING EN3-TO-EN3 LOUDSPEAKER CABLES  
When connecting UP-4XP loudspeakers equipped with EN3 connectors to the MPS-488HPe power supply, you need an  
EN3 5-pin female to EN3 5-pin male cable. The following procedure documents how to assemble this cable. If you are start-  
ing with an EN3-to-pigtail cable, you can skip step 5 in this procedure.  
NOTE: Cable mount connectors cannot connect to other cable mount connectors. Cable mount connectors  
can only connect to panel mount connectors (like those on the UP-4XP and MPS-488HPe) or inline connec-  
tors. To extend cables with EN3 connectors on both ends you can use an EN3 5-pin female-to-male cable coupler.  
Assembled EN3-to-EN3 Cable  
To assemble an EN3-to-EN3 loudspeaker cable:  
1. Disassemble the EN3 5-pin male connector and feed one end of the cable through the boot, cable clamp housing, and
