LEOPARD COMPACT LINEAR LINE ARRAY
LOUDSPEAKER
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
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.
family of loudspeakers,

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.
LEOPARD loudspeakers offer Native Mode (see "Native
Mode" on page 11), 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.
