The new LEOPARD line array and 900-LFC low-frequency control element join Meyer Sound’s LEO loudspeaker family as its smallest and most versatile members.
Like its bigger siblings LEO-M and LYON, LEOPARD delivers the advantages of self-powered design, linear response, and precise directional control.
“I’ve always followed my own path in this business, never satisfied until something is the best it can be,” states John Meyer, founder and CEO of Meyer Sound. “With the LEO family we set out to reduce distortion to the theoretical limits and both LEOPARD and 900-LFC bring us even closer to the goal of the ultimate linear loudspeaker system.
“Quality components, amazing technology, incredible convenience, and elegant design are critically important, but it’s really the results that matter,” he continues. “To borrow an analogy from the auto industry, sometimes you have to just get behind the wheel and take it for spin. With LEOPARD and 900 LFC, you just have to listen. Once you hear it, you’ll want it.”
System highlights:
– Newly designed and highly efficient class-D amplifiers that help eliminate distortion while consuming less power and generating less heat.
– LEOPARD can both anchor a main system in a medium-sized venue or integrate with Meyer Sound LYON in down and out fill systems.
– Six LEOPARD and two 900-LFC loudspeakers can be flown using a 1/2-ton motor.
– A complete system solution can be attained with MAPP XT for acoustic prediction, Compass RMS for real-time system performance monitoring, Galileo Callisto loudspeaker management, and the new MDM-5000 distribution module for routing AC power, audio, and RMS signals.
The onboard amplifier and control circuitry for LEOPARD are contained in a single, field-replaceable module. It includes Meyer Sound’s QuickFly rigging with captive GuideALinks, which allows easy setting of splay angles from 0.5 to 15 degrees. Other rigging options include a multipurpose grid, caster frame, pull-back frame, and transition frame.
