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.

Efficiency Rating: Level of sound output measured at a prescribed distance with a standard input power. Efficiency rating standard is 1 watt (2.83V at 8 ohms) at 1 meter over a specified frequency range and is measured in decibels.
Equalization: Loosely, any type of relative frequency adjustment. Specifically, the process of changing the frequency balance of an electrical signal to alter the acoustical output.
Equalizer: A component designed to alter the frequency balance of an audio signal. Equalizers may be graphic, parametric, or a combination of both.
Fade: A gradual increase in audio, i.e. a fade-up, or a gradual decrease in audio, i.e. a fade-down.
Feedback: The transmission of current or voltage from the output of a device back to the input, where it interacts with the input signal to modify operation of the device. Feedback is positive when it’s in phase with the input and negative when it’s out of phase.
FM: Frequency Modulated.
Frequency: The number of cycles (vibrations) per second. In audio, audible frequencies commonly range from 20 to 20,000 cycles per second (Hz). In video, frequency is used to define the image resolution. Low-frequency video images depict large objects or images. Higher frequencies depict smaller objects (finer details.
Frequency Response: A measure of what frequencies can be reproduced and how accurately they are reproduced. A measurement of 20 to 20,000 Hz, 3dB means those frequencies between 20 and 20,000 Hz can be reproduced no more than 3 dB above or below a reference frequency level.
Full-Range: A speaker designed to reproduce the full range (20 Hz to 20 kHz) of audio frequencies.
Gain: Increase in level or amplitude.
Gooseneck: This refers to a microphone with a flexible neck that is most frequently attached to a podium or lectern. It is designed to allow the speaker to raise or lower the microphone to a suitable height.
Graphic Equalizer: A type of equalizer with sliding controls that creates a pattern representing a graph of the frequency-response changes. Raising sliders boosts the affected frequencies lowering sliders cuts (attenuates) the affected frequencies.
HDCP: High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection. Created by Intel, HDCP is used with HDTV signals over DVI and HDMI connections and on D-Theater D-VHS recordings to prevent unauthorized duplication of copyright material.
HDR: Hard-Drive Recorder. Device that uses a computer hard drive to store compressed digital audio and video signals.
High Pass: A filter that passes high frequencies, and attenuates low frequencies. Same as low cut.
Hz: Hertz or cycles per second. Something that repeats a cycle once each second moves at a rate of 1 Hz.
Incue/Inq/In-Point: These words all refer to the initial few seconds of audio signifying the beginning of the production.
Integrated Amplifier: A combination preamp and amplifier.
Impedance: A measure of the impediment to the flow of alternating current, measured in ohms at a given frequency. Larger numbers mean higher resistance to current flow.
KHz: Kilohertz or one thousand Hz.
Lavaliere: A small microphone that attaches to clothing, allowing the speaker to have a hands-free presentation.
Line Array: A group of speakers that have been arrayed or "built up" in the vertical or horizontal plane, which allow for a highly consistent sound field. A Line Array is perfect for medium to large audiences.
Line-Level (Low-Level): A level of electrical signals too low to make the average speaker move sufficiently. Amplifiers receive line-level signals and amplify them to speaker level.
lockout: The final words of a segment used to signify the production’s conclusion.
Low Pass: A filter that lets low frequencies go through but doesn’t let high frequencies go through. Same as high cut.
MHz: Megahertz, or 1 million Hz.
Midbass: The middle of the bass part of the frequency range, from approximately 50 to 100 Hz (upper bass would be from 100 to 200 Hz). Also used as a term for loudspeaker drivers designed to reproduce both bass and midrange frequencies.
Midrange: The middle of the audio frequency range. Also used as a term for loudspeaker drivers designed to reproduce this range.
Mixer: This is the unit in which audio signals are directed from. A mixer provides for both mic and line input combinations while allowing you to control one or more outputs.
