Common LEOPARD errors & problems
What techs run into most, and what's usually behind it. The step-by-step fix for your exact unit is in Ask Roadie.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
Active/Status LED is solid green — is that normal?
Likely cause: The onboard status LED is the first-line health indicator on each self-powered cabinet.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
Box powered (green) but no audio
Likely cause: LEOPARD only reproduces the analog line feed it is given; a green LED means the amp is healthy, so silence points upstream.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
Cabinet is completely dead — no LED, no power
Likely cause: Self-powered boxes daisy-chain AC via powerCON loop; one broken link or an over-loaded loop drops the rest of the run.

How is LEOPARD firmware / RMS module updated
Likely cause: The self-powered box has no front-panel updater; its module firmware is delivered over the RMS network through Compass.

Key specs / quick reference (weight, power, SPL, coverage, connectors)
Likely cause: Baseline reference from Meyer Sound datasheet so techs can sanity-check circuits, hangs, and coverage before load-in.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
LEOPARD not showing up / not monitored in Compass RMS
Likely cause: RMS telemetry rides pins 4/5 of the 5-pin connector; without that hardware path there is nothing for the RMServer to see.

Status LED flashing red but the box is STILL playing audio
Likely cause: LEOPARD lowers output rather than shutting down so the show continues; the red flash is the warning that it is limiting to survive heat.
