Perform at your best with the black LD Systems MAUI 28 G3 MIX, an all-in-one compact column array with an integrated 6-input, 4-channel mixer, well suited for concerts, mobile DJs, or as a public-address system at weddings, corporate events, and more. The MAUI 28 G3 MIX delivers a powerful and precise sound, thanks to the 1030W RMS power (2060W peak) Class-D amplifier that's housed in the 12" subwoofer module. The columns are equipped with twelve 3.5" midrange drivers and two 1" tweeters, providing an even sound distribution with constant horizontal dispersion in combination with the innovative phase plug design. Additionally, the curved waveguide ahead of the tweeters carries the high frequencies evenly to the very rear audience areas.

The LD Systems engineers fine-tuned the system to reduce harmonic distortion and interference and make the sound even more transparent, vibrant, and powerful, resulting in a highly precise reproduction of vocals and instruments across the entire 120 x 30° dispersion field. The MAUI 28 G3 MIX is capable of cardioid subwoofer operation with the use of an additional subwoofer (separately sold). Simply press the Cardioid button to enable the onboard DSP's cardioid mode, which can lower the rear volume up to 18 dB. In addition, the ultradurable polyurea coating of the subwoofer easily withstands even the toughest demands on the road.

• With the MAUI G3 Mix versions, you no longer need a mixing console. The digital 6-channel mixer offers a variety of options, thanks to mic / Hi-Z / line inputs. This means you can directly connect and mix and filter signals from microphones, guitars, basses, keyboards, or various players. By connecting two MAUI G3 MIX systems via SysLink to create a stereo setup, you double the number of available analogue inputs. Direct streaming via Bluetooth 5.0 is available.
• Menu control is extremely intuitive through the user panel with LC display and three rotary-push controls. With a few simple steps, you can adjust effects, EQ, dynamics, and monitor signals, even for each individual channel.

• Bring all the settings you can make on the MAUI G3 MIX to your smartphone or tablet. With the user-friendly display of the MAUI G3 MIX app, you always have your mix under control.
• The Easy Mode is ideal for a quick start: With presets and simple adjustment options, you can get started right away. For those who want to delve deeper into their sound, the Expert Mode offers advanced functions, from detailed filtering to precise control of attack and compressor for each channel.

Superwide 120° Horizontal Dispersion

• Thanks to the line-array arrangement and integrated waveguides on top of the low-mid speakers (also called phase plugs), MAUI G3 offers a superwide 120° of constant horizontal dispersion.

Narrow and Precise Vertical Dispersion

• The sophisticated curved waveguide offers a narrow and precise vertical dispersion of 30°. This ensures that the high frequencies will reach the front row of your audience just as effectively as the very back of the venue.

+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

• If you are looking to build a cardioid subwoofer setup, simply rotate the subwoofer 180°, and activate the cardioid option 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.

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 behavior 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 aluminum housing.

Craft Your Best 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 Rear

• 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 has a nice side effect of enhancing the low-end response 2 to 3 dB towards the audience—more bass where you need it, and not anywhere else.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What would happen if someone bangs into the narrow speakers while they are connected (or a child pulls it), will they crack, or will they simply pull out?

A: The three portions of the top speaker on the American Audio APX CS8 plug into each other in such a way that if the assembly were pulled, while plugged into the subwoofer, then the most damage would happen at the point where the subwoofer meets with the upper speaker.

Q: 2. How heavy is it? Are there wheels like spinner luggage to carry it?

A: There are no wheels built into this unit. The system weighs in at about 25 lbs.

Q: 3. why these speaker only have audio inputs and no outputs? should get a split connector to reach both speakers? Avante Audio Achromic AS8 1000W Column PA System

A: In addition to its audio inputs, the Avante Audio Achromic AS8 1000W Column PA System also features an XLR 3-Pin Male Balanced/Unbalanced Line Output connection for sending signal to externally connected speakers.

Q: 4. The only input power is 120V? Does support 240V or not

A: It does not 120V only.

Q: 5. Is the 5 pin pass through a specific audio cable or can you use a DMX cable?

A: The LD Systems CURV 500 PS Portable Array System Power Set w/Distance Bars & Speaker Cables includes a 5-Pin XLR cable for system connections. A DMX cable is not recommended for use in this scenario. NOTE: Use only shielded 5-pin XLR cables with parallel signal lines and full pin assignment. Some commercially available 5-pin XLR cables do not necessarily possess the full pin assignment.

Q: 6. Is the power rating of 100 watts continuous, RMS, or peak?

A: The 100W rating for the American Audio APX CS8 Powered Column PA System Mixer and Bluetooth (Black) is peak power.

Q: 7. What is the inside length?

A: Thank you for your question. The manufacturer does not provide these specifications currently as it is only meant to be used for the Maui 28 G2 Column Speaker

Q: 8. Can you dj with 4 of theses connect one to tws and then connect the rest with xlr output is this possible

A: Yes, in theory multiple units of the American Audio APX CS8 Powered Column PA System Mixer and Bluetooth could be chained together using its XLR output connection to feed the next speaker.

Q: 9. Does the speaker emit any wireless signals if paring has not been done?

A: The American Audio APX CS8 has an AUX/BLUETOOTH switch so you can keep it toggled to AUX settings to avoid activating the bluetooth pairing on the speaker.

Q: 10. I have a maui 5 can it be converted to battery power?

A: No. The LD Systems MAUI 5 Ultra-Portable Column PA System (B&H # LDMAUI5) requires AC power and cannot be converted to battery power. The LD Systems MAUI 5 GO 100 Ultraportable Battery-Powered Column PA System (B&H # LDMAUI5GO) can operate on battery power or AC power.
