LD Systems MAUI 44 G2 (B-stock)

The LD Systems MAUI® 44 G2 delivers a massive 1,500 watts of total power (RMS) with a frequency response ranging from 37 Hz to 20 kHz and a sound pressure level of 132 dB (peak). With its excellent sound quality and versatile features, this compact column PA is perfect for rental companies, musicians, small clubs, street festivals, and permanent installations.

The cardioid characteristics of the column drivers and the ability to create a cardioid bass response with an additional subwoofer underscore the professional nature of this sound system. The column achieves a rear attenuation of 18 dB, while the subwoofer achieves 15 dB. The MAUI® 44 G2 also sets the standard as a two-piece column equipped with twelve 3.5" neodymium full-range speakers and four 1" HF drivers with waveguides.The phase plugs on the six upper drivers improve horizontal directivity, reduce distortion, and optimize sensitivity below the crossover frequency for the tweeters. In addition, the four tweeters feature specially designed and optimized compression drivers coupled to a constant-directivity waveguide to provide 120° coverage across the entire width and 25° focused vertical directivity. The curved design of the waveguide directs more high-frequency energy toward listeners standing farther away.

For permanent installations or when providing audio for conferences, the TrueWireless™ stereo function makes life a lot easier, as two systems can be connected wirelessly for stereo playback. HD-quality Bluetooth® streaming is no problem at all thanks to aptX™ and the AAC codec, while DynX® DSP technology ensures distortion-free sound reproduction, even at the very highest volumes. The overall volume and the subwoofer volume can be adjusted separately, ensuring perfectly balanced sound in any situation, with crystal-clear highs, a crisp midrange, and—thanks to the optimized bass reflex ports—powerful bass.

Another particularly user-friendly feature of the MAUI® 44 G2 is automatic setup recognition: if the column is removed—for example, to use the subwoofer as a follower—the display automatically switches to FOLLOWER, and functions such as Bluetooth and the volume controls for MAIN and SUB are no longer displayed.

The MAUI® 44 G2 is also absolutely top-notch when it comes to transport and mobile use: setup is quick and easy, and no cables or stands are required—instead, special multi-pin connectors are used. The robust subwoofer enclosure made of birch plywood with a polyurea coating and the lightweight, powder-coated aluminum column weigh less than 48 kg combined—a 20% reduction in weight compared to the previous model. The optionally available transport roller tray, carrying case, and protective cover perform exceptionally well in daily use. In terms of inputs, the MAUI® 44 G2 offers two XLR IN connectors, while two XLR outputs enable a wired stereo configuration of two systems. The SUB OUT can be used to connect an additional subwoofer, and power is supplied via a safe and reliable PowerCon connector.
