For solo artists, duos, and smaller bands, this means less equipment, fewer cables, and a more organized setup. The integrated mixer also offers practical advantages for presentations, corporate events, and mobile applications.

Control via color display and the free MAUI MIX app
The MAUI 44 G3 MIX features an integrated color display that allows you to control the mixer and system settings directly. In addition, the entire mixer system can be controlled wirelessly using the free MAUI MIX app for iOS and Android. This allows you to adjust settings from a smartphone or tablet without having to walk over to the speaker during a performance. This makes it possible to monitor and adjust the sound mix from various positions in the room. This way, levels and settings can be fine-tuned to what the audience is actually hearing. For sound engineers, this is particularly useful when the MAUI 44 G3 MIX is used as a standalone PA system without a separate mixing console. Musicians who handle their own sound also benefit from the ability to make quick adjustments during a performance.

Built-in Effects and Footswitch Connection
The integrated digital mixer is equipped withbuilt-in effects that can be used to process the connected audio signals. This allows, for example, vocal signals to be enhanced with effects without the need for a separate external effects processor. The digital processing is part of the mixer system and can be accessed via the controls on the device and the MAUI MIX app. In addition, the MAUI 44 G3 MIX features a footswitch input. This allows designated functions to be controlled with your foot during a performance. For vocalists, guitarists, and other musicians who want to keep their hands free while playing, this is a practical addition.

Four monitor outputs and extensive signal routing
In addition to the eight input channels, the MAUI 44 G3 MIX features four separate XLR monitor outputs. These can be used to send audio signals to external floor monitors, active speakers, or other monitoring systems. This makes it possible to set up a complete live configuration where not only the audience but also the musicians are provided with separate monitoring. In addition, a separate XLR system output is provided for further expansion or for routing signals to other equipment. The combination of multiple monitor outputs, digital mixing functions, and integrated amplification makes the MAUI 44 G3 MIX suitable for applications where both venue amplification and monitoring must be handled by a single system.

SysLink for stereo setups with two MAUI 44 G3 MIX systems
The integrated SysLink connection allows two MAUI 44 G3 MIX systems to be connected to each other. This creates a stereo PA system in which both systems can be controlled jointly. The SysLink functionality also allows for centralized control of all sixteen input channels from both systems. This is particularly useful for live bands, mobile sound engineers, and events requiring more input channels and a wider stereo image. Combining two systems creates a complete stereo setup with integrated digital mixing capabilities, without the need for an external mixer.

Fully active 4-way system with 3,600 watts of peak power
The MAUI 44 G3 MIX features a fully active 4-way speaker architecture in which separate amplifier channels and speaker groups handle different frequency ranges. The built-in Class-D amplifier delivers 1,800 watts RMS and 3,600 watts peak power, with a maximum sound pressure level of 133 dB SPL. By processing frequencies separately, the system delivers accurate reproduction of low, mid, and high frequencies. The crossover frequencies are set at 200 Hz, 700 Hz, and 1,800 Hz, allowing each speaker group to operate within its optimal range. This design contributes to controlled reproduction across the entire frequency range and ensures that the various speakers can work together efficiently.

15-inch neodymium subwoofer with deep and controlled bass reproduction
The MAUI 44 G3 MIX’s subwoofer has been completely redesigned and features a powerful 15-inch neodymium woofer. It delivers a direct and controlled bass response with a low-frequency response extending down to 34 Hz. The custom speaker chassis with a cast aluminum basket is designed for accurate reproduction and high power handling. The optimized neodymium magnet assembly ensures a fast response and minimizes distortion at higher volume levels. Additionally, the subwoofer features specially shaped, elliptical bass-reflex ports. These are designed to improve airflow and reduce turbulence. This results in less port noise and keeps bass reproduction controlled, even when the system is used at higher volumes. This is important for applications with high dynamics, such as live music and electronic music.

14 neodymium midrange drivers for powerful and detailed sound reproduction
The two-part speaker column contains a total of fourteen 3.5-inch neodymium drivers, distributed across the upper and lower sections of the column. The upper section is equipped with six 3.5-inch drivers that work in conjunction with optimized phase plugs. These improve efficiency and ensure a smooth transition to the high-frequency range. The lower section houses eight 3.5-inch horn-loaded midrange drivers. This design increases sensitivity and provides more headroom. Additionally, the controlled directivity ensures better coherence of the sound waves and reduces unwanted reflections in the room. This configuration offers particular advantages when reproducing vocals, guitars, keyboards, and other instruments in the midrange. Voices remain intelligible, and the sound retains its definition even when the system is playing at high volume levels.

Four compression drivers with BEM-optimized waveguides
For high frequencies, the MAUI 44 G3 MIX features four 1-inch compression drivers with specially developed waveguides. These waveguides have been optimized using BEM (Boundary Element Method) technology. This ensures that the dispersion of the high frequencies is precisely matched to the rest of the loudspeaker system. The result is controlled and uniform sound distribution with a coverage angle of 120° horizontally and 25° vertically. Thanks to the design of the waveguides and their interaction with the phase plugs, high-frequency reproduction remains consistent across the listening area. This contributes to a clear and detailed sound, while minimizing unwanted reflections and distortion.

Cardioid column design with up to 18 dB rear attenuation
A key feature of the MAUI 44 G3 MIX is the passive cardioid design of the loudspeaker column. Whereas conventional speakers radiate some of their sound energy toward the rear, the MAUI 44 G3 MIX directs the sound primarily toward the audience. Within the frequency range of 100 Hz to 1 kHz, rear sound radiation is reduced by up to 18 dB. This offers significant advantages for live performances and events. Less sound reaches the stage, so musicians are less bothered by the PA system. It also reduces the risk of unwanted reflections and feedback. The controlled dispersion further ensures better sound distribution toward the audience, without directing an unnecessary amount of sound energy toward ceilings or other surfaces.

Expandable with a second subwoofer for extra bass power or cardioid operation
For applications requiring more low-frequency power, the MAUI 44 G3 MIX can be expanded with a second MAUI 44 G3 subwoofer. When both subwoofers are pointed forward, the sound pressure in the low-frequency range can be increased by up to 6 dB. This provides extra bass power for larger events, DJ sets, and music genres where the low end plays an important role. Another option is a cardioid subwoofer configuration. In this setup, the second subwoofer is directed backward, and the special Cardioid DSP preset is used. With this configuration, the low-frequency response is directed forward, and bass radiation behind the system is reduced. This is particularly useful on stages where powerful bass reproduction is desired for the audience, but where the amount of low-frequency sound on stage must be kept to a minimum.

DynX DSP Generation 2 with Advanced Protection
The MAUI 44 G3 MIX is equipped with LD Systems’ second-generation DynX DSP technology. This digital signal processing monitors the performance of the loudspeaker system and optimizes sound reproduction at various sound levels. Advanced peak, RMS, and thermal limiters protect the amplifiers and speaker drivers from overload. This allows the system to utilize its full power while maintaining controlled sound reproduction. Even at high volumes, the DSP technology helps minimize audible distortion and maintain balance across the various frequency ranges.

Bluetooth for Wireless Audio Playback
In addition to professional audio connections, the MAUI 44 G3 MIX features built-in Bluetooth functionality for wireless audio streaming. This allows music to be played directly from a compatible smartphone, tablet, or other Bluetooth device. This feature is ideal for background music, intermission music, and other situations where a wireless audio source needs to be connected quickly. In combination with the digital mixer, Bluetooth is also a practical addition for performers and event organizers who want to manage both live audio sources and music playback from a single system.

Quick setup without separate speaker cables
A key advantage of the MAUI series is its modular design. The MAUI 44 G3 MIX W consists of a subwoofer and a two-part speaker column that are stacked directly on top of each other. The integrated connectors provide the connection between the various components, eliminating the need for external speaker cables. In addition, the system features automatic column detection. This recognizes the connected speaker configuration and allows the system to be quickly set up and ready for use. Combined with the built-in mixer, this minimizes the need for external equipment and cabling. As a result, the MAUI 44 G3 MIX is ideal for mobile applications where the system is frequently set up and taken down.
