Leon Lookbook 25 YEARS OF SOUND + STYLE

PUBLISHED 2022

FOREWORD To me, silence is a blank canvas. Sound is both the paint and the act of painting itself: adding color, texture, and tone to any space. It’s fascinating to see how the sounds around us resonate into a kaleidoscope of invisible energy, leaving an imprint on the moment and the memory. At Leon, our vision is to explore the relationship between art and audio and the intersection of design and technology. Our mission lies in the balance of these crucial mediums. As an artist, creativity is the driving force behind everything I do, and it’s the fuel that feeds the fire here at Leon. We approach designing our products in the same way that I do when starting a painting: first with a vision, then by layering in the tones and textures, and finally by working and reworking the piece until the vision is fulfilled. We treat every order that comes in as a commissioned work of art: meticulously designed with every last detail in mind, engineered with precision, handcrafted to your exact specifications, and finished to perfection. Sound is our art. Design is our language. Craftsmanship is our pride. This book is a look into our company, our culture, our creative process, and our work. Thank you for being part of the journey that has led us here today and for helping us to shape the path toward tomorrow. Cheers,

NOAH KAPLAN / PRESIDENT & FOUNDER, LEON SPEAKERS

A CULTURE of CREATIVITY Creativity is the thread that binds us together. While we’re designers, engineers, and craftspeople by trade, we’re artists and musicians at heart—and creativity has always been part of our DNA. We started this journey over two decades ago, and while the company has transformed and evolved over time, we’ve remained committed to our roots and our vision: to mix art with audio, design with technology, and business with bohemia.

True to Our Roots Since 1997 We first started our journey in a small studio in downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan, where we’d record music and host underground art shows. That space was an epicenter for creativity, with a small wood shop in the back where we experimented with building all sorts of things from scratch—including the very first Leon speakers. Over the past two decades, we’ve transformed from that small studio to a global brand serving thousands of residential and commercial integrators and designers worldwide. We got here by staying true to ourselves and our roots: continuing to break the mold by remaining staunchly independent, putting our natural creativity first, and focusing on quality and craftsmanship in everything we do. We’re proud to have made a name for ourselves by providing audiovisual solutions that thoughtfully blend design with technology manufactured right here in the USA. We love what we do, and we feel grateful to have worked with so many brilliant, dedicated, and inspiring people along the way.

A COLLECTION OF RELICS FROM THE LEON ARCHIVES

First Impressions Visitors to Leon’s headquarters are greeted by a monumental black-and-white lion mural and our iconic 1967 Airstream travel trailer. The mural, painted by president and founder Noah Kaplan, is based on the two bronze sculptures that guard the Spanish parliament building. It serves as a reminder of our artistic roots and the pride we take in our company. The Airstream, a quintessential symbol of Americana, represents our commitment to the journey. Just like us, it’s been shaped by the spirit of American ingenuity to stand the test of time.

A CULTURE OF CREATIVITY

Shrine On At Leon, our shrines pay tribute to the things we’re most devoted to: sound, design, and craftsmanship. Located in our main entryway is a vintage speaker installation created for Leon by multifaceted artist Shrine. His vision was to let our visitors know they are entering “a temple of sound and design.” Another shrine, a woodworker’s bench from the late 1800s, lives in the office of president and founder Noah Kaplan. “This would have been built by an apprentice learning to master the craft,” says Kaplan. “What’s so beautiful about these workbenches is that, in building them, you practice almost every skill you need to become a woodworker. It represents everything a builder has learned and will be used to build every project after that.”

Objects of Curiosity

We believe in building an authentic culture of creativity. That’s why the vintage curios placed throughout our headquarters are so important. Each object is meant to inspire a sense of artistry and intentionality.

Creek Station is a large-scale mural by Detroit artist Pat Perry. It depicts the history of audio and video and hangs proudly in our factory to remind us of the rich heritage that we belong to.

A CULTURE OF CREATIVITY

The left side of Pat Perry’s mural, Final Broadcast from Fox Creek Station, features some of the earliest existing technology used to both capture and playback images and video—like Pettibone’s magic lantern projector and some of the earliest cameras. The right side depicts similar examples of audio equipment across the ages. The two scenes are connected in the middle by a wire, symbolizing the link that developed between the two technologies over time.

A Heritage of American Craftsmanship

Our products are handcrafted just for you by our team of expert craftsmen and women in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. Timeless and built to last, an investment in Leon is an investment in American craftsmanship that will remain in your collection for years to come.

BALANCE BY DESIGN While sound is at the heart of what we do, style is what sets us apart. Finding the natural harmony between sound and style—what we call Balance by Design— is the philosophy we apply to everything we build, inside and out. We bring a creative approach to the audiovisual world by designing products that complement the surrounding space both acoustically and aesthetically. Working closely with technology integrators, architects, and interior designers, we create solutions that deliver on performance and design, customized to suit the unique needs of any space. From the finishes and the grilles to the configuration and components— if you dream it, we can make it.

Inspired by Generations of Timeless Design When technologies like record players, radios, and televisions were first introduced to the home, they were approached with the same level of design and craftsmanship as any household furnishings. At Leon, our methods honor an era when simplicity and intuitive functionality paired with excellent design to create some of the most iconic products of our time. We draw inspiration from the timeless designs of the past by taking the same thoughtful approach to the shapes, colors, and materials we use today.

Designed for You It starts with a sketch. Then our team of designers and engineers work collaboratively with our clients to bring their vision to life from the ground up. From the moment an order is placed to the final coat of paint, we pay meticulous attention to every cabinet, every component, every detail. At Leon, building a custom product isn’t just a matter of process—it’s a point of pride.

Signature Sound by Leon Sound is our art, but it’s also our science. Leon’s signature sound is the culmination of expert acoustic engineering, world-class components, and meticulous craftsmanship. As musicians ourselves, we build each speaker like a musical instrument—with extreme care and the finest materials available—to naturally reproduce audio and deliver a rich and dynamic listening experience that brings movies and music to life.

Pushing Boundaries Our commitment to mixing art with audio pushes us to reimagine what’s possible. We’ve gotten where we have today because we never set limits on ourselves or our ideas. We follow our creative intuition wherever it takes us, and that has led to some amazing, one-of-a-kind journeys through sound and style.

Sound + Style The spaces that leave a lasting mark on us enliven all the senses—sound being just as essential as any other. In homes where every design detail has been carefully curated, audio deserves to be treated with the same importance as the furnishings and fixtures—taking the time to select the perfect option to complement the surrounding décor. We believe that design and technology can exist harmoniously in the home, and we work with the best technology integrators in the business to bring sound and style to any space.

Palette of Products Our customizable speakers and technology concealment solutions are thoughtfully designed to deliver a wide range of sound and style to any space. From signature soundbars that seamlessly blend with any television, to discreet architectural speakers for inside and outside the home, to frames and artworks that turn your television into an aesthetic focal point, every product is handcrafted and built to order.

To provide the space with the best performance audio possible, Leon created a system centered around our flagship SEVEN speakers. On either side of the video wall, we installed custom height Profile speakers. Meanwhile, running across the top of the displays is a custom-width Horizon soundbar with four built-in Aaros subwoofers. On the bottom of the screen array, Leon created a custom kickplate cleverly disguised as a grille to protect the lower displays while blending in with the design. Throughout the room, Detail on-wall surround speakers were added to provide an immersive listening experience that extended beyond the front soundstage. The overall impression is one of smooth, high-end functionality with a professional feel. Small details and customizations work together with state-of-the-art equipment to give team

and set the vibe throughout the space.

For the outdoor seating area, four Terra SIX speakers were installed, all with the iconic Bissell Brothers logo laser-etched onto the grille. For the indoor space, six Detail CAMM speakers with screen-printed logo grilles were strategically placed throughout the open, warehouse-style room, and six more Terra SIX speakers were installed in additional spaces like the main brewing area. The final result is an on-brand, understated look that adds to the brewery’s effortlessly cool atmosphere while providing high-quality sound and technology both inside and out. Customers can move anywhere in the brewery and still enjoy the same clear-cut audio and unique visual style.

Leon went to work creating custom pieces to accommodate the brewery’s audiovisual needs and stylized branding. THE SO LUTIO N Working with the owners to map out the necessary zones of audio and ensure that all areas would receive proper sound coverage, the Leon team selected products that would deliver the perfect balance between performance and aesthetics for the job.
