LD Systems MAUI 44 G3 MIX W – professional column PA system with integrated digital mixer

With the MAUI 44 G3 MIX W, LD Systems expands the proven concept of the MAUI series to include comprehensive digital mixing functions. The system was developed for solo performers, duos, bands, and event service providers who want not only powerful sound reinforcement but also the ability to mix various audio signals directly at the speaker system.

At its core is the combination of a fully active 4-way loudspeaker system and an integrated 8-channel digital mixer. While the speaker technology is designed for powerful full-range sound and high headroom, the mixer enables the processing and distribution of various audio signals.

The LD Systems MAUI 44 G3 MIX Column PA System 4-Way Cardioid Digital Mixer (White) is available in a white finish. The subwoofer features a birch plywood enclosure with a polyurea coating, while the column elements are made of powder-coated aluminum.

Integrated 8-channel digital mixer for live applications

A key feature of the MAUI 44 G3 MIX W is the integrated 8-channel digital mixer. It offers eight XLR/jack combo inputs, six of which are equipped with microphone preamps. 48-V phantom power is available for compatible microphones.

The digital mixer allows for the processing of various input signals directly within the system. Features include a fully parametric 5-band equalizer, dynamics processing, digital effects, reverb, delay line, and presets. This allows for different sound and signal settings to be configured for live performances.

A footswitch input expands the control options. The corresponding footswitch control can be integrated into the system’s operation. Additionally, the MAUI 44 G3 MIX supports wireless audio streaming via Bluetooth.

Four monitor outputs and one system output

A total of five outputs are available for routing audio signals. These consist of four monitor outputs and one system output. The connections are three-pin XLR outputs.

Thanks to the four monitor outputs, the integrated digital mixer is also suitable for applications requiring different monitor signals. The MAUI 44 G3 MIX thus combines sound reinforcement and flexible signal distribution within a single system.

MAUI MIX App and Color Display for Flexible Control

All mixer and system settings can be adjusted directly via the integrated color display. Alternatively, the free MAUI MIX app is available for iOS and Android. It enables wireless remote control of the relevant functions.

Control via the app can be particularly helpful during live events. Settings do not have to be adjusted exclusively on the speaker system itself but can also be controlled via a compatible mobile device.

The combination of the color display and the app offers two control options for the built-in digital mixer. This allows users to customize the control setup to suit their workflow.

SysLink for connecting two MAUI 44 G3 MIX systems

The MAUI 44 G3 MIX W supports LD Systems SysLink. This allows two MAUI 44 G3 MIX systems to be connected into a stereo setup and operated together.

With this type of connection, a total of 16 mixer channels are available. Both systems can be controlled centrally, so settings do not have to be adjusted independently of one another.

This feature is particularly useful for applications where a single column system is to be supplemented by a second MAUI 44 G3 MIX. SysLink combines the capabilities of a stereo sound system with a shared digital control system.

15-inch neodymium subwoofer with deep bass down to 34 Hz

For reproducing low frequencies, the MAUI 44 G3 MIX W features a powerful 15-inch neodymiumwoofer with a 4-inch voice coil. The subwoofer operates in a bass-reflex enclosure and achieves a lower frequency range of 34 Hz at -10 dB in the overall system.

The bass reflex ports have been specially optimized for airflow. This reduces air turbulence and unwanted airflow noise, supporting precise and well-defined bass reproduction even at higher volumes.

The enclosure is made of 18 mm thick birch multiplex and features a durable polyurea coating. A steel front grille completes the design. Four ergonomic carrying handles make it easy to move and position the subwoofer.

14 neodymium midrange drivers for clear midrange reproduction

The two-piece speaker column is equipped with a total of 14 midrange drivers. Each driver has a diameter of 3.5 inches, a neodymium magnet, and a 1-inch voice coil.

The midrange drivers handle a significant portion of the reproduction of vocals and instruments. Horn-loaded midrange drivers are used in the lower column section. This design improves efficiency and enables high dynamic headroom as well as clear reproduction in the vocal range.

The speaker arrangement has been optimized for the most coherent sound dispersion possible. Together with the tweeters, the column forms a speaker unit designed for controlled sound distribution.

Four compression drivers with optimized waveguides

For the high frequencies, the MAUI 44 G3 MIX W features four 1-inch compression drivers with neodymium magnets and waveguides. They complement the midrange drivers and handle the reproduction of the high-frequency range.

The upper column element incorporates newly developed phase plugs and BEM-optimized waveguides. These support homogeneous sound dispersion and consistent reproduction.

The system has a horizontal dispersion angle of 120 degrees and a vertical dispersion angle of 25 degrees. This ensures that the sound is directed precisely toward the intended audience area.

Passive cardioid design with reduced rear radiation

The passive cardioid design is one of the key features of the MAUI 44 G3 MIX W. The column’s construction focuses sound energy primarily forward while simultaneously reducing rearward radiation.

In the frequency range from 100 Hz to 1 kHz, the system achieves a rear attenuation of up to 18 dB. As a result, less unwanted sound reaches the area behind the loudspeaker system.

This feature is particularly useful for live applications where musicians and microphones are located near the speakers. The controlled sound dispersion supports targeted sound reinforcement for the audience.

Expansion with a second MAUI 44 G3 subwoofer

For additional bass output, the MAUI 44 G3 MIX W can be combined with another MAUI 44 G3 SUB or a compatible MAUI 44 G3 MIX SUB. Various setup options are available.

More bass impact with an additional subwoofer

According to the manufacturer, if the second subwoofer is aimed forward, the sound pressure in the bass range increases by 6 dB. This configuration is intended for applications where additional low-frequency output is required.

Cardioid subwoofer setup for directional bass radiation

Alternatively, the additional subwoofer can be directed toward the rear. Together with the corresponding cardioid preset, this reduces rear bass radiation, directing the bass energy more strongly toward the audience.

With these expansion options, the system can be adapted to different bass requirements.

3,600 watts of peak power with second-generation DynX DSP

The MAUI 44 G3 MIX W’s integrated Class D amplifier delivers 1,800 watts RMS and a peak power of 3,600 watts. The maximum sound pressure level is 133 dB SPL.

The fully active 4-way architecture uses dedicated driver groups and amplifier channels for each frequency range. The crossover frequencies are 200 Hz, 700 Hz, and 1,800 Hz.

Second-generation DynX DSP is integrated for digital signal processing. Advanced peak, RMS, and thermal limiters ensure controlled playback at high volumes and protect the speaker components within their intended operating limits.
