Meyer Sound LEOPARD-M80 Narrow Coverage Linear Line Array Loudspeaker, 3-Pin - 09.256.201.02

Product Overview

The Meyer Sound LEOPARD-M80 is a narrow-coverage variant of the compact, self-powered LEOPARD line array, engineered for applications that require tight, controlled dispersion. With 80-degree horizontal coverage, this compact line array speaker delivers long-throw control for the tops of arrays and as outfill in larger LEOPARD systems. This standard 3-pin configuration accepts balanced analog audio for straightforward AV system integration. Because it matches LEOPARD's acoustical and vertical characteristics, M80 transitions cleanly within mixed arrays.

Product Description

LEOPARD-M80 shares LEOPARD's two 9-inch cone drivers, 3-inch compression driver on a REM-manifold horn, and three-channel class D amplifier rated at 3900 W peak, but provides a controlled 80-degree horizontal pattern for narrow, long-throw coverage. It is used wherever tighter control is needed in LEOPARD arrays, such as at the top of a hang or as full outfill arrays. The standard 3-pin XLR input accepts balanced analog audio. M80 commonly works alongside the wider LEOPARD Standard 3-pin and pairs with the 750-LFC for low-frequency extension. Additional Meyer Sound line array products are available in the Meyer Sound collection.

Key Features

• Narrow 80-degree Coverage — The controlled 80-degree pattern provides long-throw directivity for array tops and outfill positions.
• Acoustical Match to LEOPARD — M80 matches LEOPARD's vertical coverage and tonal character for clean transitions in mixed arrays.
• Compact Self-Powered Design — Onboard three-channel class D amplification removes external amplifier racks in a 75 lb cabinet.
• High Output, Low Distortion — A 142 dB maximum SPL and 135 dB linear peak with THD below 0.02 percent provide headroom and clean reproduction.
• Standard 3-Pin Analog Input — XLR 3-pin connectors accept balanced audio for direct AV system integration.
• QuickFly GuideALink Rigging — Captive rigging sets splay angles from 0.5 to 15 degrees for repeatable array builds.
• RMS Remote Monitoring Ready — Works with Meyer Sound's RMS system for parameter monitoring from a host computer.
• LEO-Family Integration — Galileo GALAXY product-integration files allow use as fill within LYON and LEO-M systems.

Typical Applications

• House of Worship — Narrow long-throw coverage reaches distant seating in deep worship spaces.
• Auditorium — Controlled dispersion serves balconies and far-field zones in auditoriums.
• Multi-Purpose Room — Tight pattern control supports outfill and array tops in large multi-purpose rooms.
• All-Hands Room — Focused coverage reaches the back of large corporate all-hands spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does LEOPARD-M80 differ from standard LEOPARD? M80 provides an 80-degree horizontal pattern for narrow, long-throw control, while standard LEOPARD provides 110 degrees of wider coverage. The two share vertical coverage and tone for clean mixed-array transitions.

Where is M80 typically used in an array? M80 is well-suited to the top of an array for long-throw zones and as full outfill arrays where tighter horizontal control is required.

Does it require external amplifiers? No. Each LEOPARD-M80 cabinet is self-powered with an onboard three-channel class D amplifier, so no outboard amplifier racks are required.

How does it integrate into a larger Meyer Sound system? Through the Galileo GALAXY Network Platform's product-integration files, M80 can serve as fill within LYON and LEO-M systems and pairs with LFC low-frequency elements.

What warranty and support are available? LEOPARD-M80 is covered under Meyer Sound's standard product warranty. For warranty, design, or support questions, contact Creation Networks.
