This ultracompact VariO loudspeaker brings the sonic signature, flexible rigging, and extraordinary power-to-size ratio of the award-winning UPJ-1P to an even more compact package. It combines the advantages of self-powered systems with the placement and arraying flexibility afforded by an 80° x 50° VariO rotatable horn and QuickFly® rigging.

Delivering a peak power output of 126 dB SPL at 1 meter, it is  suitable as a single, primary loudspeaker or in multicabinet horizontal and vertical arrays. Whether vertical or horizontal, its VariO horn can be easily rotated for optimum coverage. In size, weight, and output, the UPJunior integrates seamlessly with UltraSeries™ UPM-1P/2P and UPJ-1P speakers.

The speaker’s low-mid frequency section employs an 8-inch neodymium magnet cone driver, while the high-frequency section uses an efficient 0.75-inch exit, 2-inch diaphragm compression driver.

The UPJunior can be mounted, flown, and arrayed, allowing it to be used as either a main loudspeaker or fill loudspeaker, or even as a stage monitor. Its cabinet includes end plates made of heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant 6061-T6 aluminum, complete with threaded M8 attachment points for basic eyebolt rigging or third-party pole assemblies; several QuickFly mounting systems are also available.

Applications include portable and installed AV systems for  conference centers, ballrooms and houses of worship, small- to medium-sized theatrical sound reinforcement, front and under-balcony fill, delay, effects, and distributed systems.
