INTRODUCING THE UPJUNIOR COMPACT
VARIO LOUDSPEAKER
The UPJunior™ compact VariO™ loudspeaker combines
the advantages of self-powered systems with the placement
and arraying flexibility afforded by a VariO rotatable horn.
Compact and lightweight, the UPJunior produces a robust
peak power output of 126 dB SPL at 1 meter, making it suit-
able for use as either a primary loudspeaker in small rooms,
or as a fill, delay, effects or under-balcony loudspeaker in
small to medium-sized distributed systems.
The UPJunior’s low-frequency section employs an 8-inch
neodymium magnet cone driver, while the high-frequency
section uses a proprietary 0.75-inch exit, 2-inch diaphragm
compression driver. The VariO horn can be easily rotated to
provide an 80° x 50° coverage pattern with either a horizon-
tal or vertical orientation. A two-channel class AB/Bridged
power amplifier with complementary MOSFET output stages
provides a total output of 300 watts for the low- and high-
frequency sections. The optional RMS™ module allows
comprehensive monitoring of all key system parameters
from a Windows
® -based computer.
The UPJunior’s end plates — made of heavy-duty, high-
strength, corrosion-resistant 6061-T6 aluminum — provide a
wide range of mounting, flying, and arraying options. Strate-
gically placed M8 threaded holes allow basic eyebolt hang-
ing as well as easy connection to third-party pole-mounting
options. QuickFly
® rigging options, which include an array
adapter (also made of 6061-T6 aluminum), yokes, and
U-brackets, attach easily and securely to the UPJunior,
allowing it to be mounted or flown as either a single cabinet
or within arrays.
