Lightweight, powder-coated aluminium column housingThe column and the mid speakers of MAUI G3 are larger than in the previous versions, offering an unprecedented full-range experience.

 

2 X 8″ SUBWOOFERThe subwoofers of the MAUI G3 series have been completely re-engineered to generate massive bass from a compact design.

 

INPUTS AND CONTROLSLess is more – The MAUI G3 line-in versions were designed as the ultimate headache-free PA systems. Our engineering team put great care into creating an intuitive user panel with just the controls and inputs you really need. The user panel features a stereo line input, a THRU line output to feed an additional sound system and a dedicated sub output allowing you to connect an additional “follower” subwoofer. You’ll also find a few controls like MAIN volume, SUB volume, and the cardioid preset switch. And thanks to the built-in Bluetooth 5.0 input with code, you can stream high-resolution audio directly to your PA!

 

SUPER WIDE 120° HORIZONTAL DISPERSIONThanks to their line array arrangement and integrated waveguides on top of the low mid speakers, the so-called phase plugs, MAUI G3 offers a super wide 120° of constant horizontal dispersion.

 

NARROW & PRECISE 30° VERTICAL DISPERSIONThe sophisticated curved waveguide offers a narrow and precise vertical dispersion of 30°. This ensures that the HI frequencies will reach the front row of your audience just as effectively as the very back of the venue.

 

DOWN TO 39 HzEquipped with double 8″ woofers and four bass reflex ports, the MAUI 11 G3 subwoofer delivers a clear, tight and punchy low end down to 39 Hz.

 

NEW ACOUSTIC DESIGNOur engineers redesigned the subwoofer of MAUI 11 G3 entirely ,and it is now louder and goes deeper.

 

OPTIMISED BASS-REFLEX PORTThe new ellipsoidal bass-reflex ports improve the bass response and reduce air flow noise significantly.

 

HIGH-QUALITY SUBWOOFERThe subwoofer chassis is crafted according to our strict specifications and delivers a very precise and fast response in the low end.

 

+6 dB LOW ENDSimply place the “FOLLOWER” subwoofer next to your “MAIN” system, facing front, to enhance the bass response of +6 dB towards the audience.

 

CARDIOID SETUPYou want to build a cardioid subwoofer setup? No problem. Simply rotate the subwoofer 180°, and activate the cardioid setup on the back of the sub.

 

AUTOMATIC COLUMN DETECTIONWith the automatic column detection, the subwoofer automatically enables the “FOLLOWER” mode when the column is removed and adapts the DSP settings accordingly.

 

PASSIVE CARDIOID COLUMNThe 2-piece passive column of MAUI G3 has been reworked entirely and refined in many aspects. A unique feature of the new column is its passive cardioid design offering controlled low-mid and midrange sound dispersion.

 

-18 dB TO THE REARThanks to its exclusive design, the column offers real cardioid dispersion characteristics and provides an 18 dB attenuation to the rear between 100 Hz and 1 kHz.

 

ACOUSTIC DAMPENING FOAMThe cardioid behaviour of the column is made possible by a clever use of acoustic dampening foam behind the tweeters and mid woofers within the column itself and by precise cutouts within the column aluminium housing.

 

PUT MORE ❤ INTO YOUR SOUNDWith an additional subwoofer, you can create a cardioid setup. Simply rotate the follower subwoofer 180°, and activate the cardioid setup on the back of the sub.

 

-15 dB LOW-END TO THE REAWith -15 dB bass attenuation to the rear, you reduce the risks of feedback, hearing fatigue and phase cancellations significantly.

 

UP TO 3 dB ADDITIONAL LOW-END TO THE FRONTThe cardioid setup also has the nice side effect of enhancing the low-end response of 2 to 3 dB towards the audience. More bass right where you need it. And not anywhere else.

 

DescriptionCompact, powerful and easy to use – a column PA remains the perfect companion for DJs and smaller bands. The LD Systems MAUI series represents this all-in-one concept in every detail and offers an unrivalled PA package in terms of sound, design, technology and handling. Set it up, plug it in, and you’re all set!

The MAUI 11 G3 delivers a huge, powerful and precise sound featuring 730 W RMS power (1,460 W peak), suitable for all applications: as a main PA for concerts, a sound system for mobile DJs or a public address system at weddings, corporate events and many more.

With its sleek and elegant design, the MAUI 11 G3 looks very appealing. The two aluminium column elements sit at the front edge of the subwoofer, further enhancing the seamless visual impression. The columns are equipped with 6 x 3.5” midrange drivers and 2 x 1” tweeters, providing an even sound distribution with constant horizontal dispersion in combination with the innovative phase plug design. In addition, the curved waveguide ahead of the tweeters carries the high frequencies even to the very rear audience areas.

The LD Systems engineers also took great care of the crossover filter between the midrange and tweeter speakers. The aim was to reduce harmonic distortion and interference to make the sound even more transparent, vibrant and powerful. The result speaks for itself: a highly precise reproduction of vocals and instruments across the entire 120° x 30° dispersion field.

The columns of the MAUI 11 G3 are designed as cardioid units. This allows for controlled low-mids at the front and up to 18 dB of attenuation at the rear, resulting in a clean stage sound. Equipped with two 8” woofers and four bass reflex ports, the MAUI 11 G3 subwoofer delivers a clear, tight and punchy low end down to 39 Hz. By using a second subwoofer, the bass response can also be increased by up to 6 dB, and it can also be driven in cardioid configuration at the push of a button (cardioid preset). In addition, the ultra-durable polyurea coating of the subwoofer easily withstands even the toughest demands on the road.

The MAUI 11 G3 is a real sound machine, yet also convinces with its smart features in the day-to-day life of DJs, musicians, and technicians. Thanks to Bluetooth 5.0 and AAC coding, the column PA becomes even more versatile. Transport is as easy as usual, while the hidden multi-pin connections between the elements provide increased stability during assembly. There’s nothing that can knock the MAUI off its feet so easily…
