Why the Meyer Sound LEO Reigns Supreme in Touring Audio
Unmatched Linear Output
LEO’s linearity means that what goes in is exactly what comes out—no coloration, no distortion, no surprises. Whether you’re at 60 feet or 300, the sound remains accurate and powerful.
Phenomenal Headroom for Peak Moments
With 146 dB peak SPL, LEO offers enormous dynamic range. It doesn’t strain under pressure; it thrives in it.
Self-Powered Efficiency
No amp racks. No mismatches. LEO’s internal Class D amplifier system maximizes power efficiency and minimizes setup time—freeing up space in the truck and on the stage.
Flawless Integration with Meyer Subwoofers
Pair LEO with the 1100-LFC for deep, coherent low end. The combination creates a full-bandwidth system that’s powerful enough for the biggest venues on Earth.
Designed for Precision Coverage
With 110° horizontal dispersion, each array maintains even coverage across wide audience areas. And thanks to Meyer’s design tools, system tuning is fast and repeatable.

Can I use LEO with older Meyer systems?
Yes, but best performance comes from LEO+LFC combinations tuned with Galileo processors.
Is it networkable?
Yes. LEO includes RMS and REM monitoring, and works with Meyer’s Compass and Galileo software platforms.
What makes it better than traditional passive arrays?
Integrated amps, consistent tuning, and factory-optimized components make LEO far more predictable and efficient than passive systems.
