The LEOPARD® compact linear line array loudspeakers reproduce audio
faithfully with tremendous power, superior intelligibility, and extremely low
distortion. Rounding out Meyer Sound’s award‑winning LEO® family of
loudspeakers, LEOPARD loudspeakers deliver the same advantages of
self-powered design, linear response, and precise directional control as
their bigger siblings, LEO-M and LYON®.
LEOPARD, with its 110° coverage, breaks new ground in loudspeaker
array performance, providing exceptional phase coherence and consistent
coverage in a light, compact cabinet, making it extremely versatile. Its
innovative amplifier, driver, and horn designs ensure that LEOPARD
systems reproduce any sound source with linearity over a wide dynamic
range, from speech and classical music to rock and EDM.
The LEOPARD-M80 model provides exceptional phase coherence and
extremely accurate and consistent 80° coverage, adding greater flexibility
and accuracy to LEOPARD systems. LEOPARD-M80 can be used wherever
narrow, more controlled coverage is needed in LEOPARD arrays, such as
at the top, or even as the full array in some outfill applications. Because
LEOPARD-M80 matches the acoustical characteristics and vertical
coverage of LEOPARD, transition is seamless.
Both LEOPARD models are acoustically compatible to LYON and can be
used for downfill at the bottom of LYON arrays, and as supplemental sidefill
and outfill arrays in bigger LYON systems using the Galileo® GALAXY
Network Platform’s Product Integration settings.1
LEOPARD loudspeakers offer Native Mode, a configuration optimized
to yield excellent system performance right out of the box with minimal
external processing. A class D amplifier affords unprecedented efficiency
to LEOPARD, significantly lowering distortion while reducing power
consumption and operating temperature. A single, field‑replaceable
module contains the on-board amplifier and control circuitry.
LEOPARD loudspeakers are portable and easy to configure. Their low
weight and narrow profile make them well-suited for small- to medium sized touring acts and fixed installations, where scalability and ease of
rigging are essential.
For low-frequency enhancement, LEOPARD loudspeakers pair with
Meyer Sound’s 900-LFC™ low-frequency control element, which can be
flown as part of LEOPARD arrays without transition hardware. The 900‑LFC
shares with LEOPARD the advantages of excellent power-to-size ratio,
improved efficiency, and versatility.
In addition to working as a standalone system, LEOPARD can also be
used as a supplemental fill loudspeaker in LEO-M and LYON systems.
Applications that require more low-frequency headroom can use
Meyer Sound’s 1100-LFC™, which also integrates with LEOPARD systems.
Meyer Sound recommends driving LEOPARD systems with the
Galileo GALAXY Network Platform, which provides 24 bit, 96 kHz audio,
matrix routing, alignment, and processing for array components. To
guarantee optimum performance, use Meyer Sound’s MAPP™ System
Design Tool to design LEOPARD systems, as this tool effectively anticipates
system SPL and coverage requirements, and also helps verify rigging load
ratings.
LEOPARD and 900-LFC loudspeakers work with Meyer Sound’s RMS™
remote monitoring system, which provides comprehensive monitoring of
system parameters from a Mac® or Windows®-based computer.
LEOPARD loudspeakers include Meyer Sound’s QuickFly® rigging with
captive GuideALinks™ that facilitate easy setting of splay angles from
0.5° to 15°.
Meyer Sound coats the premium multi-ply birch LEOPARD cabinets with
a slightly textured black finish. Options include weather protection and
custom color finishes for fixed installations and applications with specific
cosmetic requirements. A range of available rigging accessories make
LEOPARD loudspeakers a versatile solution for a variety of applications.
