Head of the Family LEO Family is the way forward.”

Our flagship line array, LEO-M remains linear and predictable across all frequencies and at
extraordinarily high sound levels. Whether you have an audience of 65,000 dancing to an EDM
show or spread across a park lawn to hear a symphony orchestra, the system’s impressive
transparency allows the audience to hear each instrument—vocals, sax, drums, guitar, violin,
cello—simultaneously and clearly, without one element coloring the others.

LEO-M leaves you free to create any desired effects with a guarantee of accurate reproduction
upstream. LEO-M is self-powered, saving you money, time, and aggravation by eliminating long
cables and bulky amp racks. And the long-throw capabilities often reduce or eliminate the need
for delay systems.

LEO: Astonishing throw. Unbelievable fidelity. An extraordinary listening experience.

best decisions we’ve ever made.”

a Smaller Package
CEO, Another Planet Entertainment

One size definitely doesn’t fit all. Following the success of LEO, Meyer Sound engineers went
to work on a more scalable system with a mandate to retain extraordinary power but reduce
weight and size.

With elegant design, state-of-the-art technology, and LEO’s legendary linearity, LYON packs
a powerful punch in a smaller and more versatile package. At just 38 inches wide, LYON’s
flexibility, scalability, and ultra-low distortion make it an indispensable tool for a wide variety of
projects, from concert halls to arenas, from classical to EDM.

LYON’s two configurations offer different solutions. Use LYON-M to anchor installations or put
it to work in partnership with LEO-M as a fill array. LYON-W provides wider horizontal coverage
at the bottom of LYON arrays or for the top of an out-fill array.

To make matters even simpler, LYON is self-powered, eliminating the variable of different
amplifiers, and ensuring there is no signal degradation over long cable runs.

LYON: Precise Performance. Bold Power. A Versatile Workhorse.

“LEOPARD is an exponential improvement in how we’re
able to offer amplified concerts. The system can fool me LEOPARD
into thinking the sound is not really amplified, even though
I know it is—that feels like magic.” The Impossible Happens
Andrew Dubowski
Operations Director
San Francisco Symphony

You might think it impossible that any new loudspeaker could follow in the footsteps of LEO and
LYON— given that they are already renowned for power, clarity, and flexibility. John Meyer thought
otherwise. He wanted to keep all the best of LEO and LYON but slash the size — to compress a
mainframe’s features into the size of a smartphone. So the team went to work.

They came back with LEOPARD: one of the most astonishing loudspeakers ever created. With
70 percent more power and 90 percent greater clarity of any comparable product, LEOPARD’s
entirely new design brings you a loudspeaker system solution with full impact at a fraction of the
weight. A system with so little distortion and so much headroom and precision that you can use it
almost anywhere for almost anything— from a church to a music hall, from a Broadway theater to
a hotel ballroom.

Light, efficient, muscular, and flexible. Ready for action as a stand-alone system or to use in
partnership with LEO and LYON systems.

Self-powered and optimized out of the box, so you can count the minutes from rigging to ready.
Efficiency is key — an array of six LEOPARDs with two accompanying 900-LFC loudspeakers can
be flown from a single half-ton motor.

When space is precious, time is tight, and weight is a consideration, LEOPARD is right on the
money.

LEOPARD: Fast. Flexible. Fierce.
