Meyer MPS
MPS-488X power supply management
Comprehensive management of Meyer Sound MPS-488X power supply units. Individual channel control, real-time power monitoring, and energy efficiency automation.
Real-time control and monitoring of Meyer Sound MPS-488X power supply units through a secure WebSocket connection integrated with Q-SYS. The plugin gives you individual power control over all 8 channels along with detailed system metrics, so you can monitor PSU health and manage power distribution from a single interface.
