LD Systems Maui 28 G2 Compact Column PA System

With a built-in mixer and 2000 watts pushing 20 speakers, LD Systems' 2nd-gen Maui 28 PA delivers serious power in a super-portable, elegant column design.

Overview -

The LD Systems MAUI 28 G2 is a Compact Column PA System with a Mixer & options for Bluetooth in a stunning Black finish -- a complete sound system that you can carry together with your instruments on the way to your gig. Pack the two column elements in the optional accessory shoulder bag, the subwoofer in one hand and the guitar or keyboard in the other -- and off you go! Setting up the complete system, which doubles as PA and monitor system is just as easy thanks to the special multi-pin cable plugs. The compact and elegant MAUI 28 G2 offers an unbeatable sound quality and wide-ranging sound distribution. It was developed with year-long experience in the design of the column systems as a user-friendly solution for medium sized gigs and fixed installations.

The MAUI 28 G2 is equipped with two 8" woofers, sixteen 3" full-range speakers and two 1" neodymium HF drivers. They are driven by a light Class-D power amplifier with an enormous 2,000 watts peak power and produce a grunty bass, balanced mids and precise and silky highs. The DynX DSP technology from LD Systems provides a top-class performance every time and the highest level of freedom from distortion. It includes a multi-band limiter which protects against overloading, an EQ, a compressor and a 3-way crossover with run time correction.

The design of the MAUI 28 G2 line array achieves a longer range, increased resistance to feedback and a wider space… read more coverage, which makes separate monitor speakers superfluous. The wave guide of the tweeters has been developed using the Boundary Element Method (BEM), a numerical simulation of the sound radiation and dispersion. It reduces reflections from the floor and ceiling and prevents side lobe levels and thus achieves an homogeneous dispersion - Your audience hears you in the back row just as clearly as in the front.

With the integrated 4-channel mixer, system presets for mono or stereo configuration and Bluetooth Audio Streaming, you have full control over the system. Whether you are a singer-songwriter, solo entertainer, DJ or musician in a small band, you will be thrilled with the extraordinary sound and portability of the MAUI 28 G2. The column and the subwoofer can be set up separately: thus, the system is extremely flexible and is also an excellent choice for fixed installations. With a selection of clever transport accessories and special mounting hardware, the MAUI 28 G2 is a well thought out overall solution, down to the last details.

"Better than bose"

Overall:

(see rating details)

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.

I've been using bose l1 compact for 3 years until I heard this system 3 weeks ago. It blew it away in every category. Better lows, mids and highs plus a higher power rating carries a 200 chair room with ease. The comments I received from guests and servers were about how loud and clear the music sounded from this small pa system. The Maui 28 G2 with 20 speakers opposed to the L1Compact 7 is very easy to see why audiophiles prefer it over bose. The separate sub and overall gain control knobs plus the inegraded bluetooth are what sold me on this compact line array and I am not going back. Too many features compared yo bose. A little heavier but way better built than bose. The feature to price and quality ratio blows the competition away for the price. Hands down, a better deal and product.

Sound

Way better than the competition overall. No need for separate sub. The 2 horn loaded high frequency drivers add the the clarity and separation of highest to the already rich mids from the 16 spekers colummed below.

Features

Separate sub gain knob and 2 x 8 inch subs are features you can count on for shaping your own sound.

Ease of Use

Plug and play is that simple.

Quality

Not cheap plastic but aluminum for the columns and real wood for the subs. Built to last.

Value

Best value to qualify and price ratio in its class.

Manufacturer Support

I've only had it for 2 weeks.

The Wow Factor

Sleek and professional lookiing.
