Overview

The USW-112XP compact narrow subwoofer further extends the USW family. With its great power-to-size ratio, it provides big bass sound for very tight spaces. Its compact rectangular enclosure and slanted connector panel enable flush-mounting of the cabinet against wall surfaces, reducing required installation depth to 12 inches, including connectors.

The USW-112XP is ideal for installations requiring high performance and versatility along with an appealing, discreet aesthetic appearance. Designed to be the ideal companion to Meyer Sound’s ULTRA-X20XP, it also complements the low frequencies in other Meyer Sound loudspeakers, such as the UP-4slim and those in the UPM family.

The USW-112XP has an operating frequency range of 35–140 Hz with a linear peak SPL of 119.5 dB, measured in half-space at 4 m and referred to 1 m using M-noise4. The bass reflex cabinet employs a low-velocity port based on the Meyer Sound USW-210P subwoofer design for high efficiency and low port distortion.

The cabinet houses an open-loop, Class-D power amplifier with signal processing including correction filters for phase and frequency response, and driver protection circuitry.

With IntelligentDC technology, the USW-112XP receives DC power and balanced audio from a single Phoenix™ 5-pin connector. Powering the loudspeakers from a Meyer Sound MPS IntelligentDC external power supply eliminates the need for wiring conduits while still preserving the advantages of self-powered systems.

The Meyer Sound MPS IntelligentDC power supplies distribute DC power and balanced audio to USW-112XP loudspeakers or other Meyer Sound IntelligentDC loudspeakers. The USW-112XP’s amplifier and signal-processing circuits store DC power and tolerate voltage drops, thereby accommodating light-gauge cables and lengthy cable runs. Composite multi-conductor cables, such as Belden® 1502 or equivalent, can deliver both DC power and balanced audio to loudspeakers at cable lengths up to 150 feet with just 1 dB of loss in peak SPL using 18 AWG wire for power. Longer cable lengths are possible with heavier gauge wires.

The two-channel MPS-482HP power supply is ideal for applications requiring a small channel count or the capability for mounting the supply remotely on a wall or ceiling, while the 8-channel MPS-488HP is suitable for larger installations. The MPS-488HP can be optionally purchased with an RMS module for connecting to Meyer Sound’s remote monitoring system.

Meyer Sound builds the USW-112XP cabinet from premium birch plywood coated with a durable slightly textured black finish and includes a powder-coated, round-perforated steel grille to protect the drivers. Weather protection and custom color finishes for specific cosmetic requirements are available options.

With its versatile shape, the USW-112XP can be placed on the ground in either horizontal or vertical positions to accommodate installation requirements.

The USW-112XP comes standard with M8 mounting points at the top and bottom for use with the optional U-bracket that enables wall, ceiling, or truss mounting. It also features an integral 35 mm pole mount receptacle with M20 threads for added stability.
