LD Systems MAUI 11 G3 Portable Cardioid Column PA System, Black

LD Systems MAUI 11 G3 Portable Cardioid Column PA System, Black

Compact, 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 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 of 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...
