A grade A used Meyer Sound LEAF line array cabinet is listed with 2× 1.4" compression drivers, 2× 8" woofers, 1000 W continuous AES power handling, 100° × 10° coverage and 136 dB peak SPL at 28 kg. Whether it is worth buying depends less on the grade letter than on three things the listing does not show: rigging hardware, driver history and whether the cabinets come from one matched system. Ask for availability and a quote on the Meyer Sound LEAF before committing to anything.
The LEAF is a narrow-vertical-coverage line array element, and the listing gives you the electrical and acoustic envelope but not the ownership history. Treat grade A as a cosmetic and functional starting point, not as proof of driver condition or rigging integrity. The buying decision should be gated on rigging hardware availability, driver service records and cabinet matching, all of which are currently Unknown / Not disclosed. Buyers weighing this cabinet against a smaller sibling should read the used Meyer Sound MINA buying guide for the same condition and rigging checks on a different box.
1. The 10° vertical coverage per cabinet means array length and trim height drive the design more than the box count does. 2. Grade A describes condition, not service history — serial numbers, re-cone records and hours are Not disclosed. 3. Rigging is listed as integrated and compatible with Meyer Sound rigging hardware, so confirm what hardware actually ships with the cabinets. 4. Price, lead time, MOQ, warranty and year of manufacture are all Not disclosed and must be requested directly.
The listing describes a Meyer Sound LEAF line array cabinet in condition grade A, with 2× 1.4" compression drivers and 2× 8" woofers per cabinet. Power handling is stated as 1000 W continuous (AES) per cabinet. Coverage is 100° horizontal by 10° vertical, described as adjustable. Frequency range is 75 Hz – 20 kHz, maximum SPL is 136 dB peak, and nominal impedance is 4 Ω. Physical data: 600 × 390 × 410 mm, 28 kg, integrated rigging points compatible with Meyer Sound rigging hardware. Year of manufacture and quantity available are both listed as on request.
Two things in that combination matter more than the headline numbers. First, 10° vertical per cabinet is a narrow slice: a four-box hang covers roughly 40° of vertical, so the number of cabinets you need is set by the vertical geometry of the room, not by the SPL target. Second, the 75 Hz lower limit means the LEAF is not a full-range box on its own — it expects subwoofers below it, which changes the total system cost and the truck pack. Buyers comparing this against wider-coverage boxes should read the second hand line array speakers with that in mind.
A third point: the listing shows both a 4 Ω impedance figure and an AES power rating. Meyer Sound cabinets have historically been self-powered, so a passive-style impedance figure alongside an AES rating is exactly the kind of detail to confirm in writing with the seller rather than assume. Do not build a amplifier plan until that is clarified.
The specification block is complete enough to design a hang and incomplete enough to make a payment decision. Missing, and material:
Serial number history and whether the cabinets are a matched set from one original system. Line arrays are bought as systems; mixed-serial cabinets with different driver vintages behave differently across the array and are harder to resell as a block.
Service records. Whether the 1.4" compression drivers have had diaphragm replacements, whether the 8" woofers are original or re-coned, and when. A re-coned driver changes both the sound and the resale value, and the re-coned driver explainer is the right frame for that conversation with the seller.
Actual hours and deployment history. Touring cabinets accumulate humidity, UV and handling damage that a grade A cosmetic assessment does not capture.
Rigging hardware. The listing says the cabinet is compatible with Meyer Sound rigging hardware — it does not say whether bumpers, fly bars, link plates or a frame are included. Rigging hardware is often the hardest and most expensive part of a used line array purchase to source separately.
Flight case condition, if cases are included at all. Not disclosed. For wide, shallow rooms where the 100° horizontal pattern suits the audience, a banquet event PA system plan should still confirm trim height and subwoofer support before the hang is designed.
Year of manufacture, quantity available, price, lead time, MOQ and warranty. All Not disclosed or on request. None of these should be assumed.
Do not choose this cabinet if you are fitting out a small fixed-install room — a café, a small house of worship, a conference breakout room — with a low trim height. A 10° vertical element needs a hang long enough and high enough to cover the audience without the front rows falling outside the pattern; in a low room you end up with either too few boxes or a hang aimed over the audience. A point-source or wider-coverage box is the better tool there.
Do not choose it if your business requires a documented service history before purchase. If your tender or your client's procurement process needs driver service records, hours and serial traceability up front, this listing does not supply them and you should not plan around getting them.
Do not choose it if you cannot source Meyer Sound rigging hardware in your market. Integrated rigging points are only useful with the matching hardware, and a cabinet you cannot safely fly is a cabinet you cannot rent out.
Finally, do not choose it if you are buying a single cabinet as a spare without confirming it matches your existing system's serial range and driver vintage. A grade A orphan box can be worse than a grade B matched one.
The coverage figure is the biggest trade-off. 100° horizontal is generous and forgiving for wide, shallow rooms; 10° vertical is tight and demands accurate aiming and adequate trim height. That combination suits a properly designed hang in a mid-size venue and fights you in a low or very deep room. Weigh it against your actual room geometry before you weigh it against price.
The 28 kg cabinet weight is friendly for a two-person crew and for freight cost per box, but it also means more cabinets per metre of array — a given vertical coverage needs more LEAF boxes than a wider-vertical element would. Freight and rigging costs scale with box count, not with coverage, so the cheap-per-cabinet number can hide a heavier total system.
The 75 Hz – 20 kHz range commits you to subwoofers. Budget the subwoofer layer and the amplifier/DSP channel count into the same decision, and read the used line array buying checklist for export buyers before you size the order.
Grade A buys you cosmetics and a functional baseline, not provenance. The trade-off is straightforward: you get a clean-looking cabinet with unknown history at a price that presumably reflects that, versus a lower-grade cabinet with a documented service file. For rental fleets that sub-rent and need to answer client questions, the documented one is often the better commercial asset.
Finally, quantity available is on request. If you need eight matched cabinets and only three exist, the array design changes and so does the value of the lot.
Request, in writing: serial numbers for every cabinet offered; confirmation of whether they are a matched set; driver service history including any diaphragm or re-cone work; whether rigging hardware, bumpers and frames are included and in what condition; flight case status; year of manufacture; quantity available; and the commercial terms. Ask specifically how the 4 Ω impedance figure and the 1000 W AES rating relate to the cabinet's actual configuration, since that determines your amplifier and DSP plan.
Then ask for photographs of the rigging points, the driver faces and the cabinet edges, and for the terms of any inspection before shipment. Use the contact page to put those questions to the seller in one message and ask for availability and a quote on the specific units. Do not pay a deposit until the rigging hardware question is answered — it is the single item most likely to turn a good cabinet price into a bad total cost.

Grade A, as stated on the listing. The listing does not include service records, hours or serial history.
Not stated. The listing says the cabinet has integrated rigging points and is compatible with Meyer Sound rigging hardware, but does not confirm whether any hardware is included.
Quantity available is listed as on request, so it must be confirmed with the seller.
The listing states 1000 W continuous (AES) per cabinet and 4 Ω impedance. Confirm the actual cabinet configuration with the seller before planning amplifiers or DSP. ## Sources Buyers who find the LEAF's narrow vertical slice hard to fit should also compare a used NEXO GEOS 1230 against their room geometry before settling on a box count.
