LD Systems MAUI11G3 Portable Cardioid Column PA System LD Systems

Compact, powerful and easy to use – the LD Systems MAUI11G3 Portable Cardioid Column PA System 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!

Small Never Sounded So Big

In fact, the MAUI11G3 delivers a huge, powerful and precise sound. It features 730 W RMS power (1,460 W peak)and is suitable for all applications. It works as a main PA for concerts, a sound system for mobile DJs or a public address system at weddings, corporate events and many more.

Sleek and Elegant Design

The MAUI11G3 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 high frequencies even to the very rear audience areas.

Highly Precise MAUI11G3

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.

Cardioid Design

The columns of the MAUI11G3 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 MAUI11G3 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.

Truly Dynamic

The MAUI11G3 is a real sound machine, yet also convincing with its smart features. 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…
