GearCast Video - LD Systems MAUI 44

The MAUI 44 is the LD Systems' MAUI family flagship with a massive 1.600 watts RMSDefinition:
(Root Mean Square) An accurate measurement of average power that can be produced by an amplifier, or consumed by a speaker, or generated by an audio signal.. of system power , 40 Hertz. to 20 kHzDefinition:
kHz (Kilohertz): 1,000 Hertz, or one thousand cycles per second. frequency responseDefinition:
The range of frequencies that an audio, video or data device can pass. and 129 dBDefinition:
1. A deciBel is a logarithmic ratio between two quantities, and is a nonlinear measurement that mimics human perception. 2. A unit expressing sound levels relative to a nominal level just audible by the average human ear, and equal to 1/10th of a Bel. peak SPLDefinition:
See Sound Pressure Level.. Eminently suitable for musicians, DJs, solo entertainers and fixed applications the compact column PADefinition:
(Public Address) A sound system intended to provide audio coverage to large groups of people. provides superior sonic performance and comprehensive features.

Made from hard-wearing 15 mm birch ply and loaded with 2 x 12" neodymiumDefinition:
A magnetic material with stronger flux than Alnico. The stronger flux allows creating more efficient (and lighter) speakers and dynamic microphones. chassis the band pass subwooferDefinition:
A low-frequency speaker, typically optimized for response below 120 Hz, for augmenting full-range sound systems. is driven by two Hypex modules with separate SMPS . The 4 individual frequencyDefinition:
A value, expressed in Hertz, that indicates how many cycles of a periodic signal occur in one second. groups of the vertical array featuring a total of sixteen 3,5" neodymium fullrange speakers with cast frames and integrated heat sinks plus two 1" Celestion HF drivers on a waveguideDefinition:
Pipes, fittings, and horns for guiding and projecting radio frequency or sound waves. are individually powered by 4 discrete Class D amplifiers.

The MAUI 44 provides both combo (XLR / 6.3 mm Jack) and RCADefinition:
(Radio Corporation of America) Known for the (RCA) phono plug and jack, among many other inventions. See Phone Plug. See Phono Jack. inputs. Master and subwoofer levels are adjustable individually and allow a perfect sound balance between crystal clear high tones, punchy mids and powerful bass in any situation . The LD System’s LECC digital signal processingDefinition:
See . (LimiterDefinition:
A form of compressor with a ratio of infinity:1 above the threshold for both overload protection, or as a sound effect to normalize volume. Some engineers consider a compressor with a ratio of 20:1 or higher above the threshold a limiter., Equalizer, CompressorDefinition:
A device that reduces dynamic range by a certain ratio, and used primarily for audio signals. and CrossoverDefinition:
A filter or set of filters that divide audio signals by frequency. Crossovers, whether active or passive, are common in speaker designs to direct high and low frequencies to their respective drivers. Crossovers are also used in multiband signal processors, like multiband dynamics or multiband distortion. ) and dual limiters ensure distortion-free audio and extended dynamicsDefinition:
In a musical performance, changes in overall volume levels, often accompanied by timbral changes. Example: Classical symphonic music has a wide dynamic range, while dance mixes have a much narrower dynamic range. while protections against short circuit, overcurrent and overvoltage guarantee a safe and reliable operation.

Designed for easy portability the MAUI 44 sub and aluminium array assembly weighs in at less than 60 kg. Custom multi-pin connectors minimize setup time , and the system's superior feedback resistance and extremely wide 120° horizontal dispersion eliminate the need for dedicatedDefinition:
