A complete sound system that you can carry together with your instrument: introducing the MAUI 28 G2. The two column elements in the padded 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 multiband 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 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 sidelobe 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.
- All-in-one column speaker for PA and monitor applications
- 2,000 watts peak Class-D system power offer high performance with a low weight
- Powerful bass reproduction with 2 x 8" woofers
- Balanced mids thanks to the 16 x 3" full-range speakers

Just bought two of these speakers super compact and the bass and sound is amazing .

[@tomcollins2919]

jeff valledor why the need for 2? Thought the idea of this system was the same power as a full pa in 1 tower. Are they not that powerfull?

[@jeffvalledor92]

@@tomcollins2919 hey mate they are truly amazing loud and super crisp but they do have much mid highs so up front that the bass gets left behind. I usually have the sub up to 70% and the total volume which is the highs to 35% this gives you more bass and loud enough mid and highs. People actually stated that they sound super clear and old man had a confrontation with me on a gig as they were too loud for him. Note the total volume on my mixer and speaker didn't pass 20% of total volume on the knobs my mixer led guide didn't even go pass three bars and it goes up to 13.lol they great and this was in a venue close to the size of a basketball court high roof. I feel these would be great with additional subs looking to get 4x dual 12" in the future. And they would be set.

[@mattibiskit]

I compared these against 3 other similar leading brand systems in a shop. I really like the overall warmth and definition of sound. The other systems sounded bright. Which at first you may think sound better. However this became audibly fatiguing and would be to an audience over time. Hence my preference to LD Maui. 2 other fellow musicians have recently purchased these systems. I’ve heard them perform with them in venues with fantastic sound. I even got to mix on them. B E A utiful! Twice as powerful as my Bose L1 Model 2 & B2 sub and 1/2 the price. In addition as per Bose specs. The L1 frequency response peaks at 14khz! LD full 20k experience. Lovely! My advice after running a mono column for years, purchase as a pair. We have two ears and therefore should be listening from two different sources otherwise it doesn’t sound as good. Once again fantastic product. Wish I owned a pair. Hopefully I get to upgrade to them in 2020. I love Bose but every time I refresh the specs page the frequency response gets lower. Some would argue most people can’t hear above 15-16 k ish anyway. It doesn’t matter there artefacts in the instruments overtones above the fundamental frequency which extend beyond our hearing. We may not hear it perfectly clear, without those frequencies it doesn’t sound right.

[@timbly5824]

I bought the Yamaha DXR DXS series powered speakers & they’re incredible. Not crisp with a false frequency response. Just right too to bottom. Now I need a compact light column speaker setup that sounds great. LD has the best sounding column speakers. RCF is great also just different. EV’s aren’t bad with the M50 series.

Can I link up a Maui 28g2 to a Maui 44. In stereo??

[@CalvinKleinManzano]

no reverb & echo???

[@timbly5824]

Very interested in these for a small piece funk band.

Let us know when you tested!

[@chrisgilsonmusicchannel7144]

Does this system have reverb on the microphone input for singing??

[@LDSystemsVideos]

Hi Chris, no it has not. With the FX 300 (www.ld-systems.com/en/solutions/dj-musician/audio-tools-sources/signal-processors-matrix/20674/fx-300) we offer just the tool for that :)

[@elfieborimera3178]

How doze it stack up to the HK polar 10 as the ld has 16 inch speaker's and 2 drive tweeters and 2 8 inch subs. As HK only 6 speakers and one sub

[@LDSystemsVideos]

You tell us ;) If you have the possibility to try both and compare ;)

[@JulitoSeguraMusic]

Hola se puede conectar a una mesa de sonido? En ese caso como se deberia conecta los L y R

[@LDSystemsVideos]

If you use one MAUI 28 G2 then you should connect both L & R into the 2 XLR inputs. If you use two MAUI 28 G2 then set both speakers to stereo mode, connect both XLRs to the unit on the left, and then connect the second MAUI (the one on the right) to the System out output of the first MAUI. For detailed information pls refer to our user manual which is available in 6 languages. www.ld-systems.com/de/downloads/file/id/40905353

[@Zoco101]

This looks great for conferences, as it stands, but it stops just a bit short of being an all in one package for musicians. I can see that a separate mixer is really needed for microphones. I'm guessing that two of these and a mixer would be ideaI, but it's an expensive solution and maybe time consuming to set up, and I'd be a little bit concerned about the stage plan, since the sound shoots out at funny angles, if I understand correctly. I'll bet the basic sound is great though, and that feedback can be avoided entirely with a bit of careful planning - this despite placing the speakers at the back. I suppose those mic inputs double as jack line inputs (good for keyboards and mixers) or the tiny mp3 input can be used.

[@LDSystemsVideos]

Thanks for your feedback. And of course, the built-in mixer has limits as far as the inputs are concerned. We're not sure what you mean about the sound angles and the stage plan, though. Could you describe that a bit more concretely?

[@Zoco101]

@@LDSystemsVideos I thought that the tweeters point in assorted directions. Maybe not. Presumably, feedback is avoided partly because (mysteriously) the sound doesn't travel in a narrow path, but that also means it's harder to know how to escape the sound if your mic starts feeding back anyway. Or can't that happen? I take back my suggestion that two of these units plus a mixer would take longer to set up than more conventional PAs. It helps that no speaker stands are required. I hope/trust that good speaker placement is no more tricky with these units than on any other system.

[@theDJfromDenmark]

Definitely a good and well thought out product.. But what about a base/low frequency extension ..? As an entertainer/"on the road", you quickly find yourself in a situation where two 8 " simply is not enough..

[@CameoOfficial]

Thank you for your suggestion, but you also can connect any active subwoofer - with a build in crossover - you want via the system out jack if your Maui is running in mono mode. You also can pick up the sub signal from the sub-out but in that case, the signal is grabbed after the sub level poti and you'll might get sound problems with that.

[@theDJfromDenmark]

Thanks for the answer.. Do you have any plans, to make a Sub specific to Maui 28..? As you have done with Maui 44.. :)

[@gatlinproduction]

Wondering. Would this good for E Kit Drums. I have the Roland TD50K And I was wondering if anyone tried it using an E Kit.

[@stescot1969]

My drummer used one with his Roland digital drum kit for gigging and it sounded great with no distortions or issues.

[@ludvigberg6588]

Can you add an external mixer to the system? For more instument options? If that's the case where do you connect it to the system?

[@LDSystemsVideos]

Hello Ludvig Berg, you can add an external mixer to the system. Just connect it to the Input of your MAUI System. We can recommend you the mixers from our VIBZ series.

[@CameliaBands]

@@LDSystemsVideos Should the external mixer go into the mic or the line input? (The mixer is for 4 vocals, keyb, bass and 2 percussion.)

[@madness8556]

@@CameliaBands connect the external mixer to the left and right line inputs of the Maui 28G2. Ideally use the XLR connections for the best signal.

[@LDSystemsVideos]

Hello there, if you want to use two MAUI 28 G2 as a stereo PA, you must activate the Stereo button for both. The in-out signal from the right speaker then goes into the MAUI and is then sent to the left line-in of the second MAUI 28 G2 via the system out. You can also find a detailed description in the operating instructions on our website. www.ld-systems.com/en/serien/maui-serie/10899/maui-28-g2

[@miked9000]

Is this true stereo, left and right out of separate speakers, or is it summed?

[@madness8556]

Using 1 Maui 28 G2 it's summed mono. You need 2 Mauis for stereo operation.
