Meyer Sound LEOPARD-M80 Small Line Array Loudspeaker with Remote Monitoring System, 3-Pin XLR, and Quick-Clip Rain Hood
The LEOPARD®-M80 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-M80, with its 80° 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.
Features:
- Available in two models for greater flexibility: LEOPARD-M80 for narrow controlled array coverage and LEOPARD for wide coverage
- Compact cabinet with small footprint and extraordinary power-to-size ratio
- High peak power output with exceptional linearity and transient reproduction with extremely low distortion at any output level
- Self-powered and Native Mode for super-simplified setup and increased reliability; additional presets for different configurations available in the Galileo GALAXY processor
- Flexible rigging and transport options
- Easy integration using the Galileo GALAXY processor’s product integration files for LYON line array loudspeakers and the 900-LFC, 1100-LFC, and VLFC™ low frequency control elements

MEYER SOUND WEATHER PROTECTION
The Weather Protection option from Meyer Sound is intended to increase the useful life of Meyer Sound loudspeakers when they are installed outdoors and exposed to different and often harsh weather conditions. Our Weather Protection includes a penetrating treatment to raw wood, use of special primers, and plating on all steel parts used (or alternatively, the use of stainless steel hardware). Weather Protection is designed to prevent malfunctions caused by harsh operating environments and slows the accelerated wear and tear that occurs in outdoor environments.
