"For most events we do, Leopard is just about the perfect loudspeaker," says Bruce Bossert, owner of Mid-Coast Sound. "To use a boxing analogy, it punches way above its weight. It has the horsepower of most competitive boxes weighing twice as much. It allows us to support large-format events in buildings where it would be a struggle to fly other systems."
Mid-Coast has used its Leopard system at the Silver Star Convention Centre in Philadelphia, Miss. for artists such as Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, Merle Haggard, and Styx. The system has also supported artists such as Los Lobos at Nashville's Cannery Ballroom as part of the Americana Music Festival, as well as Hillvue Heights Church's Godstock festival in Lucas, Ky.
"Pound for pound, it's the best box I've ever used," says Duane Tabinski of Mid-Coast Sound, who serves as systems tech for the shows. "The output is incredible, and you hear detail that you just don't hear with other systems."
