LD Systems MAUI 44 G3 W

The LD Systems MAUI 44 G3 W is a professional, fully active 4-way column PA system for DJs, live bands, and events. With a peak power output of 3,600 watts, a maximum sound pressure level of 133 dB SPL, and a powerful 15-inch subwoofer, this system delivers impressive sound levels, deep bass, and clear reproduction across the entire frequency range.

The MAUI 44 G3 White combines an advanced cardioid column design with a redesigned speaker configuration, improved coverage, and second-generation DynX DSP technology. This ensures that sound is directed toward the audience while minimizing unwanted sound energy behind the column. Thanks to its modular design and integrated connections, the system can also be set up quickly, without separate speaker cables between the subwoofer and the column.

Fully active 4-way system with 3,600 watts of peak power
The MAUI 44 G3 features a fully active 4-way architecture in which separate amplifier channels and speaker groups handle the 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 the 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 frequency range. The MAUI 44 G3 is therefore suitable for applications requiring high sound pressure, a wide dynamic range, and consistent sound reproduction.

15-inch neodymium subwoofer with deep and controlled bass response
The MAUI 44 G3’s subwoofer has been completely redesigned and features a powerful 15-inch neodymium woofer. It delivers a tight, direct 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 sound levels. In addition, 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 the bass response controlled, even when the system is used at higher volumes.

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, 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 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 tuned to the rest of the speaker system. The result is controlled and uniform sound distribution with a dispersion 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 is the passive cardioid design of the loudspeaker column. Whereas conventional speakers disperse some of their sound energy toward the rear, the MAUI 44 G3 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 disturbed by the PA system. It also reduces the risk of unwanted reflections and feedback. The controlled dispersion also 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 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 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 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 5.4 with AAC for wireless audio playback
In addition to professional audio connections, the MAUI 44 G3 features Bluetooth 5.4 for wireless audio streaming. The system supports the SBC and AAC codecs, allowing 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. 

Professional Connectivity The MAUI 44 G3 features two combined XLR/6.35 mm jack inputs for connecting a mixing console, DJ controller, or other audio source. In addition, two XLR Thru outputs are available to route the incoming audio signal to other speakers or systems. A separate subwoofer output allows you to further expand the setup with additional bass reproduction. Thanks to these connectivity options, the MAUI 44 G3 can be integrated into a wide range of professional sound systems, from compact DJ setups to larger live PA systems.

Quick setup without separate speaker cables
A key advantage of the MAUI series is its modular design. The MAUI 44 G3 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. Additionally, the system features automatic column detection. This allows the system to recognize the connected speaker configuration and get up and running quickly. This design minimizes the amount of cabling and makes the MAUI 44 G3 suitable for mobile applications where the system is frequently set up and taken down.

Robust Construction for Professional Use
The subwoofer enclosure is made of birch plywood and features a protective polyurea coating. This finish protects the enclosure from the stresses of transport, setup, and daily use. The speaker columns are made of aluminum and feature a powder-coated finish. The subwoofer has four ergonomically placed handles for moving the system. The column sections also feature recessed handles, making it easier to lift and transport the components. With a total weight of approximately 46.5 kg, the MAUI 44 G3 is designed as a powerful portable PA system that can be deployed without complicated setup. This white version of the MAUI 44 G3 features a finish that complements light-colored interiors, stylish event venues, and permanent installations where the sound system needs to blend into the surroundings.
