UM-1 UltraMonitor  (1979)
Meyer Sound


Meyer UM-1


From Meyer Sound website:
The UltraMonitor came about when Jefferson Starship and Hot Tuna sound engineer Owsley "Bear" Stanley beseeched John Meyer for a stage monitor with the clarity of the Meyer/ACD studio monitor but more power. Meyer designed the UM-1 and the first cabinets were built by Don Pearson in the shop of his young sound company, Ultra Sound. This was the beginning of an association between Don Pearson and Meyer Sound that ended up with him joining Meyer Sound's staff as an instructor for the last year and a half of his life.
The release of the UltraMonitor marked the first time a commercially available loudspeaker was accompanied by a dedicated processor, the Control Electronics Unit, or CEU.
