Meyer Sound ULTRA-X42 Mid-Sized Point-Source Loudspeaker with 5-Pin XLR
Meyer Sound’s ULTRA-X42 design continues the tradition of the highly successful UPA loudspeakers—so versatile they have been a universal standard in almost every application for over 35 years. From touring performances to theme parks, worship venues to theater shows, and lecture halls to large scale concerts, Meyer Sound technology has delivered exceptional fidelity with high power, low distortion, and uniformly predictable behavior. To this legacy, Meyer Sound incorporated technology from the popular and award-winning LEO® family of loudspeakers to bring multiple enhancements to bear in the ULTRA-X42 design.
Features:
- Exceptional fidelity and surprising power capability delivered in a compact, light enclosure
- Extraordinarily flat amplitude and phase response ensures tonal accuracy and precise imaging
- Wide (ULTRA-X40) or Controlled (ULTRA-X42) pattern
- Rotatable horn provides installation flexibility
- Integral stand mount and QuickFly® mounting options facilitate rigging
