From Stadiums to Theaters: The Meyer Sound ULTRA-X Series Delivers Perfect Audio Everywhere

Meyer Sound's ULTRA-X Series: Unleashing Compact Power, Precision, and Clarity

In the world of professional audio, Meyer Sound has long been a name synonymous with groundbreaking technology and unparalleled sound quality. The ULTRA-X Series, which includes the ULTRA-X80, ULTRA-X40, and ULTRA-X20, continues this legacy with point-source loudspeakers that deliver exceptional power, uncompromised clarity, and maximum versatility—all in compact, lightweight enclosures. Whether used in large sports arenas, intimate theaters, or portable systems, the ULTRA-X family redefines what’s possible for audio professionals seeking power, precision, and portability.

The ULTRA-X80: Power and Clarity at Scale

The ULTRA-X80 is the largest and most powerful member of the ULTRA-X family, designed to deliver stunning sonic experiences for large venues. Whether it’s a sports stadium, a live music venue, or a house of worship, the ULTRA-X80 is engineered to fill the space with rich, clear audio at scale. But don’t let its power fool you—it remains impressively compact and easy to deploy.

Revolutionary Power-to-Size Performance

Leveraging Class D amplification technology, the ULTRA-X80 produces 141 dB SPL peak output—an astounding level of power for a loudspeaker weighing only 130 pounds (59 kg). This makes it an ideal solution for venues where weight and rigging complexity are factors, but where maximum performance is still required. The result? The ULTRA-X80 offers the performance of multiple line-array speakers in a single, easily transportable box.

Precision Concentric Driver Configuration

The ULTRA-X80 features an innovative concentric-driver design, where two 12-inch neodymium-cone drivers are coupled with a rotatable 95° x 40° waveguide and a 4-inch high-frequency compression driver. This setup ensures a smooth frequency response and tight directional control across the entire speaker range. For additional flexibility, the ULTRA-X82 variant delivers a more focused 50° x 40° dispersion pattern, making it ideal for applications requiring more precise coverage.

Flexible Coverage and System Integration

Beyond its power, the ULTRA-X80 is designed to integrate seamlessly into any system. Whether used alone or as part of a larger configuration, the ULTRA-X80 maintains high fidelity and precise coverage in any environment. Thanks to its network capability and MILAN certification, it can be easily integrated into modern, networked audio systems for optimized performance.

The ULTRA-X40: Power and Precision in a Compact Package

While the ULTRA-X80 is the heavyweight of the family, the ULTRA-X40 brings that same power and precision into a smaller, more portable package. With a peak output of 1,950 watts, the ULTRA-X40 is a true powerhouse that can be used in a wide variety of applications, from concert halls and nightclubs to theme parks and houses of worship.

Impressive Power-to-Size Ratio

Weighing just 55 pounds (24.9 kg), the ULTRA-X40 features a highly efficient 3-channel Class D amplifier that delivers exceptional power-to-size performance. Despite being 20 pounds lighter than its predecessor, the UPA-1P, it produces an impressive peak output of 1,950 watts—enough to fill even large venues with clear, consistent sound.

The ULTRA-X40 employs a rotatable 110° x 50° Constant-Q horn, delivering uniform coverage and a smooth frequency response across the entire sound spectrum. For applications requiring more controlled sound, the ULTRA-X42 variant offers a more focused 70° x 50° coverage pattern, ideal for specific zones or areas where precision is key.

Versatile Applications for Any Venue

From frontfill and under-balcony systems to theatrical sound reinforcement and small voice reinforcement, the ULTRA-X40 excels in applications that require predictable and controlled coverage. Its small size and flexible rigging options make it ideal for both portable and installed systems, allowing for quick deployment without compromising on sound quality.

The ULTRA-X20: Compact Power with Mighty Impact

The ULTRA-X20 is the smallest and most compact member of the ULTRA-X family, designed for environments where size and weight are critical. Despite its diminutive size—measuring just 7.5 inches wide by 19.04 inches high by 8.6 inches deep—the ULTRA-X20 delivers exceptional power and clarity.

Small and Mighty

The ULTRA-X20 features two 5-inch cone drivers and a 2-inch compression driver, all configured concentrically for consistent pattern control and minimal distortion. Whether used as a compact main system or as a fill speaker in a larger configuration, the ULTRA-X20 punches above its weight. It delivers a clear, distortion-free sound and a consistent polar response, even in challenging acoustic environments.

Customizable Coverage Options

The ULTRA-X20 comes with a rotatable horn, allowing for flexible orientation and coverage. Available in three Constant-Q horn variants, it offers the option for 110° x 50°, 80° x 50°, or 110° x 110° coverage patterns, making it easy to tailor the system to specific venue requirements. When paired with Meyer Sound’s subwoofers, such as the USW-112P or the 750-LFC, the ULTRA-X20 delivers a full-range audio experience with extended low-frequency response.

Perfect for Compact, Portable Setups

Ideal for portable A/V systems, small installations, or theatrical productions, the ULTRA-X20 is engineered for versatility. It can be mounted in a variety of configurations using its integral M8 rigging points, including wall mounting, pole mounting, and ceiling mounting. Its lightweight aluminum enclosure and optional weather protection and custom color finishes make it a perfect choice for both temporary and permanent installations.
