Meyer Sound LEOPARD Line Array Loudspeaker - Quick Clip Rain Hood 3...
Product Overview
The Meyer Sound LEOPARD Line Array Loudspeaker in this Quick Clip Rain Hood, 3-pin (with Weather Protection) configuration is a compact, self-powered line array engineered for outdoor and semi-exposed installations. It combines LEOPARD's 110-degree coverage and high-output performance with factory weather protection and a quick-clip rain hood for fixed deployments exposed to the elements. This compact line array speaker suits outdoor venues, amphitheaters, and houses of worship with exterior coverage requirements. Onboard amplification and a standard 3-pin analog input simplify AV system integration.
Product Description
This LEOPARD model carries Meyer Sound's weather protection treatment and a Quick Clip rain hood designed to shed water away from the cabinet face in permanent outdoor installations. The underlying loudspeaker 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. The standard 3-pin XLR input accepts balanced analog audio for direct integration. For low-frequency extension outdoors, LEOPARD pairs with the 750-LFC, and the standard indoor configuration is the LEOPARD Standard 3-pin. Additional Meyer Sound line array products are available in the Meyer Sound collection.

Competitor Comparison
| Criterion | Meyer Sound LEOPARD WP | L-Acoustics Kara II | d&b Y8 |
| Amplification | This LEOPARD is self-powered with onboard class D amplification in each cabinet. | The Kara II is externally amplified and requires L-Acoustics LA-series controllers. | The Y8 is externally amplified and requires d&b amplifiers. |
| Weather Protection | This model ships with factory weather protection and a quick-clip rain hood for permanent outdoor use. | The Kara II requires separate weather-protection accessories for outdoor exposure. | The Y8 requires the d&b weather-protection kit for outdoor installations. |
| Horizontal Coverage | LEOPARD provides a fixed 110-degree horizontal pattern. | The Kara II offers mechanically variable directivity via fins. | The Y8 provides an 80-degree fixed horizontal pattern. |
| Maximum SPL | LEOPARD reaches a 142 dB maximum SPL in a compact cabinet. | The Kara II reaches a comparable 142 dB peak in its class. | The Y8 produces slightly lower maximum output suited to its single-woofer design. |
| System Simplicity | LEOPARD reduces rack space and cabling since amplification is onboard. | The Kara II requires amplified controllers sized to the array. | The Y8 requires external amplifier racks proportional to the system. |
| Monitoring | LEOPARD reports parameters through Meyer Sound's RMS remote monitoring system. | The Kara II reports through LA Network Manager at the amplifier. | The Y8 reports through d&b R1 software at the amplifier. |
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the weather protection and rain hood add? This configuration includes Meyer Sound's factory weather treatment plus a Quick Clip rain hood, allowing the cabinet to be used in permanent outdoor and semi-exposed installations.
Is this still a self-powered loudspeaker? Yes. The weather-protected model retains LEOPARD's onboard three-channel class D amplification, so no external amplifier racks are required.
How does it integrate into a larger Meyer Sound system? Through the Galileo GALAXY Network Platform's product-integration files, it can serve as fill within LYON and LEO-M systems and pairs with LFC low-frequency elements.
Does the rain hood affect rigging? The loudspeaker retains QuickFly GuideALink rigging with 0.5 to 15 degree splay angles; verify array geometry and loading in Meyer Sound's MAPP System Design Tool, accounting for the hood.
What warranty and support are available? The loudspeaker is covered under Meyer Sound's standard product warranty. For warranty, design, or support questions, contact Creation Networks.
