LD Systems MAUI 44 G2 Column PA System

Full Description

Revolutionary performance

Massive sound, minimal footprint. The LD Systems Maui 44 G2 delivers powerful, pristine, and consistent sonic performance night after night. Boasting an efficient 1500W (RMS) Class-D amplifier module, a custom-made 15'' subwoofer, and a potent cardioid mid-hi column array, phenomenal sound is yours to take advantage of no matter where (or what) you're performing.

The column is equipped with twelve 3.5'' neodymium full-range drivers and four 1'' HF tweeters complete with a meticulously-engineered waveguide. The result is a wide frequency response ranging from 37Hz to 20kHz, as well as ultra-high SPL capabilities of up to 132dB. So you can pump out your sound with astounding power and precision. It's a perfect choice for musicians, DJs, rental companies, small venues, and more.

Done with distortion?

You're not alone. Distortion can be a nightmare for any performer, and it's not always easy to get rid of. Until now. The Maui 44 G2 features powerful DynX® DSP that means your sound remains distortion-free, even at the system's maximum volume. But there's even more intelligent technology tucked away inside the Maui 44 G2...

Phenomenal flexibility

Hidden away inside this powerful column system, a diverse collection of powerful tech works tirelessly to ensure that your sound is the very best it can be. No matter what your needs are. One of these is the Maui 44 G2's TrueWireless™ Stereo functionality. If you have two systems, you can seamlessly connect them together without the need for cables or extensions, allowing you to reproduce mesmerising stereo sound in an instant.

But that's not all. When it comes to setting up your system, it's simple. The Maui 44 G2 boasts automatic setup recognition. For example, if you remove the column to use your subwoofer as a slave, the display on the rear will automatically jump to SLAVE mode, removing any irrelevant functions and parameters that would just get in the way when you're trying to set your desired configuration up.

Then there's the cardioid options. The column itself boasts a cardioid design by default, attenuating sound to the rear by up to 18dB. This is perfect when you're performing, as you can keep the levels down on stage whilst your sound is being projected exactly where it needs to be. But the subwoofer can be switched to cardioid mode too. This requires a second subwoofer, and helps to increase bass clarity and directionality when required.

The controls are easy to get to grips with too. The entire system has been designed for ease-of-use, so you can spend more time doing what you love, and less time getting frustrated.

Stream your music from the palm of your hand

Bluetooth is a powerful tool for any application. And when it comes to streaming your music, there's nothing quite as convenient. Simple buttons on the rear of the subwoofer let you connect any Bluetooth-enabled device to the Maui 44 G2 in seconds. So you can stream audio and control playback functions without having to go anywhere near the column or front-of-house mixer. All without the need for wires too.

Go anywhere

One of the biggest benefits of the Maui 44 G2? Its portability. The entire system can be assembled and disassembled at a moment's notice. You don't even need stands or cables. Custom-designed multi-pin connectors on each component allow you to connect everything together directly. So that's even less equipment to worry about moving around. And it's much smaller than a traditional PA system too.

The Maui 44 G2 is a system that has been built to withstand the rigours of the road as well. A rugged birch plywood subwoofer enclosure complete with a powder-coated aluminium column housing mean that this system can handle life on stage. And the entire thing weighs less than 48kg... That's a 20-percent weight reduction compared to its predecessor.
