Who makes the best stage monitor?

I'd guess that is a PTC and not a HPF?

 

 

I don't think so. I didn't know what a PTC was until a minute ago, but all the ones I'm finding are tiny ( well under 0.5 cu in.) - the faulty component in the TX2 circuit was considerably larger and heavier than that: the volume was 2-3 cu in. or more, and at least a few ounces in weight.

 

-Dan.

Yeah, another typo. Grrr.


I had 4 that I used for acoustic oriented, folk/rock and Jazz shows, along with UPA-1's and 650's. I think Mark and Tony may have some of these as well.

 

 

I have 4 UPAs and 2 650s but I am using QSC HPR112s for my monitors.

Yes. I own and operate 8 ea. of the Meyer UM-1 monitors, 16ea. UPA-1's, 8ea. 650-R2's and 8ea USW-1's.

Those early "P's" used a clever full bridge mode 2 channel power amp biased to 1/2-Vcc, an off the shelf modified 48 volt SMPS and roughly 2or 3 ohm drivers. The +24 volt offset was cancelled out as common mode when operated in the full bridge configuration.

Interesting...I didn't know there was more than one version of UM-1P.

I don't recall working on any late model ones, the ones I serviced were early and the application of the stock 48V SMPS was pretty darn clever IMO. That's why I remembered it. They may have changed in later models, don't know. The stuff is generally reliable enough that we don't see all that much of the powered ones for service
