LEOPARD : Compact Linear Line Array Loudspeaker
LEOPARD-M80 : Narrow Coverage 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 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 mediumsized 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.

900-LFC : Compact Low-Frequency Control Element
Meyer Sound’s 900-LFC compact low-frequency control element reproduces low frequencies at high continuous output levels with extremely low distortion. The 900-LFC offers the same sonic linearity as Meyer Sound’s 1100-LFC low-frequency control element in a smaller, lighter cabinet, making it ideal for building scalable systems to suit touring applications or fixed installations of any size.A newly designed class D amplifier affords unprecedented efficiency to the 900-LFC, significantly lowering distortion while reducing power consumption and operating temperature. A single, field-replaceable module contains the on-board amplifier and control circuitry.
In addition to pairing with LEOPARD systems, the 900-LFC integrates easily with other Meyer Sound loudspeaker systems, including LEO-M, LYON, and ULTRA Series loudspeakers.
Meyer Sound’s Galileo GALAXY Network Platforms, which provide matrix routing, alignment, and processing for array components, can drive LEOPARD and 900-LFC loudspeakers. To guarantee optimum performance, use Meyer Sound’s MAPP system design tool to design systems with the 900-LFC.
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.
The 900-LFC is available with or without Meyer Sound’s QuickFly rigging. When equipped with the optional MRK-900 rigging kit, the captive GuideALinks enable flying of the 900-LFC from the MG-LEOPARD/900 multipurpose grid in LEOPARD arrays without a transition frame. Also use the MG-LEOPARD/900 grid for groundstacks with uptilt or downtilt. Or fly 900-LFCs separately as a subwoofer array with variable splay angles of 0°, 1.25°, 2.5°, 3.75°, or 5°.
Transport both versions of the 900-LFC in stacks with the optional MCF-900 caster frame.

Used Meyer Sound Laboratories
Meyer Sound Laboratories is an American company based in Berkeley, California that manufactures self-powered loudspeakers, multichannel audio show control systems, electroacoustic architecture, and audio analysis tools for the professional sound reinforcement, fixed installation, and sound recording industries.
The company’s emphasis on research and measurement has resulted in the issuance of dozens of patents, including for the now-standard trapezoidal loudspeaker cabinet shape. Meyer Sound has pioneered other technologies that have become standard in the audio industry, including: processor-controlled loudspeaker systems, self-powered loudspeakers,curvilinear arraying, cardioid subwoofers, and source independent measurement.
Meyer Sound has consistently involved itself with advanced research beyond that connected to immediate product development, sometimes in conjunction with arms of the University of California, Berkeley. Some of this research has resulted in unusual products such as their parabolic sound beam and sound field synthesis loudspeakers. Other projects, such as the spherical loudspeaker research underway by Meyer Sound and CNMAT (Center for New Music and Audio Technologies) at UC Berkeley are still in the stage of pure research.

Octave: The difference between two frequencies where one is twice the other. For example, 200 Hz is an octave higher than 100 Hz. 400 Hz is one octave higher than 200 Hz.
Optical Digital Cable: Fiber optic cable that transfers digital audio signals as light pulses.
Outcue/Outq/Out-Point: These words all refer to the final few seconds of audio signifying the conclusion of the production.
Package: A completed and fully edited audio piece.
Passive: Not active. A passive crossover uses no external power and results in insertion loss. A passive speaker is one without internal amplification.
Phase: Time relationship between signals it’s all relative.
Power Output: A measure, usually in watts, of how much energy is modulated by a component.
Preamplifier: A control and switching component that may include equalization functions. The preamp comes in the signal chain before the amplifiers.
Pre Outs: Connectors that provide a line-level output of the internal preamp or surround processor.
Pre Outs/Main Ins: Connectors on a receiver that provide an interruptible signal loop between the output of the internal preamp or surround processor portion of the receiver and the input of the amplifier portion of the receiver.
Pre/Pro: A combination preamp and surround processor.
Processors: Anything that processes an incoming signal in some way. Surround processors, for example, can decode a Dolby Digital signal to send to an amp so you can hear it.
Pulse Code Modulation: (PCM) a way to convert sound or analog information to binary information (0s and 1s) by taking samples of the sound and record the resulting number as binary information. Used on all CDs, DVD-Audio, and just about every other digital audio format. It can sometimes be found on DVD-Video.
Q-and-A: Question and answer session.
Receiver: Any component that receives, or tunes, broadcast signals, be it NTSC, HDTV, DBS, or AM/FM radio. Typically refers to the single component that includes a preamp, surround processor, multichannel amplifier, and AM/FM tuner.
Reverberation: The reflections of sound within a closed space.
RF: Radio Frequency. Television signals are modulated onto RF signals and are then demodulated by your television’s tuner. VCRs and DBS receivers often include channel 3 or 4 modulators, allowing the output signal to be tuned by the television on those channels. Also, laser discs used an RF signal for modulating Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtracks on some movies. This requires an RF demodulator (usually referred to as an AC3-RF demodulator) before or in the surround processor to decode the signal.
RMS: Root Mean Square or the square root of the arithmetic mean (average) of the square’s set of values. A reasonably accurate method of describing an amplifier`s power output.
SACD: Super Audio CD. Enhanced audio format with up to six channels of high-resolution audio encoded using DSD. Requires an SACD player. Multichannel also requires a controller with six-channel analog or proprietary digital inputs for full playback.
Sampling Frequency: How often a digital sample is taken of an analog wave. The more samples taken, the more accurate the recording will be. You need to sample at a minimum of twice the highest frequency you want to capture. For example, the 44.1-kilohertz sampling rate of a CD cannot record sounds higher than 22.05 kilohertz.
Scener: A radio report in which the announcer is recorded at the same time and place as the background sound of an event.
Sensitivity: A measurement (in dB) of the sound-pressure level over a specified frequency range created by a speaker driven by 1 watt (2.83V at 8 ohms) of power with a microphone placed 1 meter away.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio: A comparison of the signal level relative to the noise level. Larger numbers are better.
Simultaneous Interpretation: This system allows attendees to hear the meeting in their own language.
Sound Bite: A portion of audio of someone speaking.
Sound field: The total acoustical characteristics of a space, such as ambience number, timing, and relative level of reflections ratio of direct to reflected sound RT-60 time etc.
Soundstage: The area between two speakers that appears to the listener to be occupied by sonic images. Like a real stage, a soundstage should have width, depth, and height.
Speaker: A component that converts electrical energy into acoustical energy.
SPL: Sound-Pressure Level. Measured in dB.
Subwoofer: A speaker designed to reproduce very low bass frequencies, usually those below about 80 Hz.
THX: Certification program for home theater equipment. Uses some proprietary features, but mostly assures a base quality level for a given room size. (See THX select or Ultra.) Is compatible with any and all soundtrack formats. Stands for either Tom Holman’s eXperiment, after the engineer who drafted the original standard, or is named after the company’s founder George Lucas first movie, THX 1138. Nobody agrees on which.
THX select: Certification program for speakers and receivers that assures a base level of quality and performance when played in a room that’s between 2,000 and 3,000 cubic feet.
User-Generated Content (UGC): Text, photos, video or audio supplied by the customers of a company.
Voicer: A radio report without background audio taken from a scene or otherwise.
Wrap: A radio report containing both the reporter and an actuality.
