ON CURVED WAVEGUIDE
The sophisticated curved waveguide offers a narrow and precise vertical dispersion of 30°. This ensures that the high frequency will reach the front row of your audience just as effectively as the very back of the venue.
12 X 3,5" MID WOOFER
The column and the mid speakers of MAUI® G3 are larger than in the previous versions, offering an unprecedented full range experience.
12" SUBWOOFER
The subwoofers of the MAUI® G3 series have been completely re-engineered to generate massive bass from a compact design.
And thanks to the built-in Bluetooth 5.0 input you can stream high resolution audio directly to your PA!
The Cardioid button selects the DSP setting appropriate for the subwoofer Cardioid application.
Stereo line input via XLR / Jack combo connectors.
Use the THRU line output to feed the original line input signal to an additional sound system via XLR.
The dedicated SUB output allows you to connect an additional “follower” subwoofer via XLR.
Just two controls to reach sound perfection - MAIN volume and SUB volume. That's as easy as it gets.
INPUTS AND CONTROLS
Less is more – The MAUI G3 line-in versions were designed as the ultimate headache-free PA systems. Our engineering team put great care in creating an intuitive user-panel with just the controls and inputs you really need.
The user panel features a stereo line input, a THRU line output to feed an additional sound system and a dedicated sub output allowing you to connect an additional “follower” subwoofer. You’ll also find a few controls like MAIN volume, SUB volume as well as the cardioid preset switch. And thanks to the built-in Bluetooth 5.0 input with codec you can stream high resolution audio directly to your PA!
Fill the room with sound
SUPER WIDE 120° HORIZONTAL DISPERSION
Thanks to their line array arrangement and integrated waveguides on top of the low mid speakers, the so-called phase plugs, MAUI G3 offers a super wide 120° of constant horizontal dispersion.
NARROW & PRECISE 30° VERTICAL DISPERSION
The sophisticated curved waveguide offers a narrow and precise vertical dispersion of 30°. This ensures that the HI frequencies will reach the front row of your audience just as effectively as the very back of the venue.
GET READY TO GET LOW
Down to 37 Hz
Equipped with a single 12" woofer and four bass reflex ports, the MAUI 28 G3 subwoofer delivers a clear, tight and punchy low end down to 37 Hz.
Optimised Bass-Reflex Port
The new ellipsoidal bass-reflex ports improve the bass response and reduce air flow noise significantly.
High-Quality Subwoofer
The subwoofer chassis with aluminum die cast basket is crafted according to our strict specifications and delivers a very precise and fast response in the low end.
Add a "follower" subwoofer
Forget about Master and Slave, now it's called Main and Follower.
+6 dB low end
Simply place the "FOLLOWER" subwoofer next to your “MAIN” system facing front to enhance the bass response of +6 dB towards the audience.
Cardioid Setup
You want to build a cardioid subwoofer setup? No problem. Simply rotate the subwoofer 180°, and activate the cardioid setup on the back of the sub.
Automatic column
detection
With the automatic column detection, the subwoofer automatically enables the "FOLLOWER" mode when the column is removed and adapts the DSP settings accordingly.
Cardioid Column
Passive Cardioid Column
The 2-piece passive column of MAUI G3 has been reworked entirely and refined in many aspects. A unique feature of the new column is its passive cardioid design offering controlled low-mid and midrange sound dispersion.
-18 dB to the rear
Thanks to its exclusive design the column offers real cardioid dispersion characteristics and provides an 18 dB attenuation to the rear between 100 Hz and 1 kHz.
Acoustic Dampening Foam
The cardioid behaviour of the column is made possible by a clever use of acoustic dampening foam behind the tweeters and mid woofers within the column itself and by precise cutouts within the column aluminium housing.
Cardioid Sub setup
Put more ❤ into your sound
With an additional subwoofer you can create a cardioid setup. Simply rotate the follower subwoofer 180°, and activate the cardioid setup on the back of the sub.
-15 dB Low-End to the rea
With -15 dB bass attenuation to the rear you reduce the risks of feedback, hearing fatigue and phase cancellations significantly.
Up to 3 dB additional
low-end to the front
The cardioid setup also has the nice side effect to enhance the low-end response of 2 to 3 dB towards the audience. More bass right where you need it. And not anyhwere else.

Focus, Clarity, and Control
Focus the audio output towards your audience, reducing noise to the rear of the speakers. This results in a clearer, more enjoyable listening experience for both performer and audience.
Protect Your Hearing
Long DJing sessions can take a toll on your hearing.
Cardioid
systems help minimize hearing fatigue, allowing you to complete your
gig without risking hearing damage.
Perfect for Small and Challenging Venues
Cardioid columns and cardioid subwoofer setups shine in compact spaces where your PA system must be positioned close to a wall. By reducing wall reflections and preventing phase cancellations, cardioid setups deliver superior audio performance.

Description
Compact, powerful and easy to use - a column PA remains the perfect companion for DJs and smaller bands. The LD Systems MAUI series represents this all-in-one concept in every detail and offers an unrivalled PA package in terms of sound, design, technology and handling. Set it up, plug it in, and you're all set!
The MAUI 28 G3 delivers a huge, powerful and precise sound featuring 1,030 W RMS power (2,060 W peak), suitable for all applications: as a main PA for concerts, a sound system for mobile DJs or a public address system at weddings, corporate events and many more.
With its sleek and elegant design, the MAUI 28 G3 looks very appealing. The two aluminium column elements sit at the front edge of the subwoofer, further enhancing the seamless visual impression. The columns are equipped with 12 x 3.5'' midrange drivers and 2 x 1'' tweeters, providing an even sound distribution with constant horizontal dispersion in combination with the innovative phase plug design. In addition, the BEM-optimised waveguide ahead of the tweeters carries the high frequencies even to the very rear audience areas.
The LD Systems engineers also took great care of the crossover filter between midrange and tweeter speakers. The aim was to reduce harmonic distortion and interference to make the sound even more transparent, vibrant and powerful. The result speaks for itself: a highly precise reproduction of vocals and instruments across the entire 120° x 30° dispersion field. The columns of the MAUI 28 G3 are designed as cardioid speakers. This allows for controlled low-mids at the front and up to 18 dB of attenuation at the rear, resulting in a clean stage sound.
Equipped with a single 12'' woofer and four bass reflex ports, the MAUI 28 G3 subwoofer delivers a clear, tight and punchy low end down to 37 Hz. By using a second subwoofer, the bass response can also be increased of up to 6 dB and it can also be driven in cardioid configuration at the push of a button (cardioid preset). In addition, the ultra-durable polyurea coating of the subwoofer easily withstands even the toughest demands on the road.
The MAUI 28 G3 is a real sound machine, yet also convinces with its sophisticated features in the day-to-day life of DJs, musicians and technicians. Thanks to Bluetooth 5.0, the column PA becomes even more versatile. Transport is as easy as usual, while the enhanced, hidden multi-pin connections between the elements provide increased stability during assembly. There's nothing that can knock the MAUI off its feet so easily...
