Leyard vs Planar

3 matched panels · 1.9 to 5.2 mm · specifications from both makers' datasheets

The two lineups side by side, then what the matched panels say about weight, power and what each maker publishes. Every figure is the maker's own; the planner adds nothing it cannot point to on a sheet.

Weight and draw are per square metre of cabinet, so different cabinet sizes compare fairly. Ranges run across every panel the maker has in the database, not only the matched ones.

What the sheets say

• Leyard and Planar overlap on 3 matched pairs between 1.9 and 5.2 mm; outside that band one of them has no comparable panel.
• Leyard is the lighter cabinet in 2 of 3 matched pairs, Planar in 0, and 1 is within 5%. Across their lineups that is 16 to 20 kg/m² against 14 to 17 kg/m².
• Leyard draws less at full white in 0 of 3 matched pairs, Planar in 1, and 2 are within 5%. Lineups: 600 to 1,200 W/m² against 600 to 1,200 W/m², which sets the circuit count.
• Cabinet formats: Leyard builds in 500×500 mm; Planar in 500×500, 500×1000 mm. A shop that already owns one format keeps its bumpers and cases.
• A hanging limit is published for none of its 8 panels by Leyard and for none of its 12 panels by Planar; where it is not, the planner uses a conservative placeholder and says so.
• Typical draw is estimated as a third of the maximum where a sheet publishes no figure: Leyard for none, Planar for 2 of 12.

Matched panels, side by side
