Compact and flexible column system

The LD Systems Maui 28 G3 is a compact, full-function PA system consisting of a 53cm subwoofer cabinet and two 1.54m column speakers with tweeters and midrange drivers. Despite the smaller size, this PA offers a full-range reproduction of up to 20kHz and, with its integrated DSP and wireless plug-in connection, it's not just easy to operate, but can be installed right out of the box – plug and play in the truest sense. Its line inputs with XLR-TRS combo sockets offer flexible connection options, and the XLR line output and two through sockets mean professional users will have all the cable connections they need. The revised features of this system now ensure even more transparency and punch with less harmonic distortion and fewer phase cancellations. The system is modularly expandable, which is to say that it can be implemented in either main or follower mode. The third generation of this compact PA is compatible with Bluetooth 5.0 and uses the AAC codec, which promises high sound quality when streaming audio.

Deeper bass and an optimised high end

Compared to the G2, the LD Systems Maui 28 G3 can now reproduce even deeper bass sounds: Not merely the impressive 45Hz of its predecessor, but right down to an ultra-low 37Hz – thanks to its use of a 12" subwoofer instead of two 8" cones. The twelve midrange drivers of the G3 system now have a diameter of 3.5" and are equipped with phase plugs to enable even more precise reproduction. In addition, the waveguides of the two 1" tweeters are now curved in order to give their sound waves even greater focus, and thus further optimise their phase behaviour. The woofer is equipped with the second generation of the Dynx DSP, which not only features multi-band dynamic processing, but also has FIR filters for the equaliser and crossover, thus reducing phase problems even further. The revised shape of its four (yes, four!) bass reflex ports are designed to help reduce flow noise.

LD Systems Maui 28 G3, detail

More power, same flexibility

Singer-songwriters, DJs, solo entertainers, and even small bands will enjoy using the LD Systems Maui 28 G3 as a compact PA system for gigs in pubs, bars, youth centres, and at parties. The powerful class-D amplifier integrated into the subwoofer provides 1,030W RMS, making the system suitable for sound reinforcement for as many as 200 people. Despite the simple operating principles of this compact PA, it can easily be controlled and configured manually because the volume of the subwoofer and column speakers can be adjusted separately; as such, the LD Systems Maui 28 G3 provides a maximum sound level of 127dB SPL without distortion. Musicians and event organisers who value a high level of operational safety will find a system here that offers protection circuits against overloading, overheating, short circuits, and D/C problems. The white version of this package is particularly suited to sound reinforcement in churches, chapels, and other places of worship.

About LD Systems

LD Systems originated in Germany and is a brand of the Adam Hall Group. The company’s ambition is to give musicians the freedom they need to effectively express their musical ideas on stage. To achieve this, LD Systems has developed products that include affordable speaker series, wireless microphones, and in-ear monitoring systems. LD Systems attaches great importance to the durability and user-friendliness of its products. Right from the development stage, attention is paid to simple, intuitive, and effective operability. LD Systems also pays great attention to the design of its equipment, so that the technology is not only acoustically but also visually attractive. Accordingly, LD Systems has already been awarded several renowned design prizes.

From lectures to trade fairs

The robust construction of the LD Systems Maui 28 G3 (the subwoofer is made of birch multiplex with a polyurea coating) will be a huge plus for anyone who has to transport their PA to gigs and other locations. Thanks to the wireless multipin connection, the whole system can also be installed and dismantled in no time at all. The column speaker is easy to transport, weighing in at 12.6kg (under 30lbs), because its housing is made of powder-coated aluminium, making it robust yet lightweight. The third-generation subwoofer now has four carrying handles, so its 22.8kg (about 50lbs) weight is even easier to carry. If the system is optimised by adding a second subwoofer, a cardioid bass dispersion pattern can be activated, making it perfect for use in targeted sound reinforcement at trade fair stands, for example. However, the system can also be used for readings and lectures, utilising its ability for precise sonic targeting.

In the spotlight: FIR filters

The abbreviation FIR filter stands for finite impulse response filter, which is a type of digital filter that reproduces an analogue input signal by means of a finite impulse response. FIR filters (also described as non-recursive filters) have been used approximately since the 1990s for the purpose of linear phase equalisation in loudspeakers or steep slope filtering in crossover filters. They provide a solution to the common problem of phase shifting that occurs in PA systems using filters. By preventing these shifts, FIR filters ensure a more precise and powerful sound in loudspeakers. Thanks to the particularly high performance delivered by modern digital controllers, digital power stages are now capable of implementing FIR filters that provide a sufficiently low latency for PA purposes. At low frequencies, however, FIR filters can cause audible artefacts (pre-ringing).

Great System!

Play in two folk rock bands and Considerably a new PA purchase. After a bit of research I decided that the LD Maui 28 G3 was the best PA system for our needs and that Thomann was the best price.
We've been using a pair of Mackie powered speakers on stands and an analogue or digital mixer plus we've added 2 subs that need a separate power amp. And we've had several monitors on stage too. A lot of kit to carry & set up and a lot of cabling too! The stage gets very cluttered.
This LD system has made life so much easier! One set up is providing enough power for any pub gig we are likely to do and the wide spread of clear transparent sound fills the space. We have reduced our monitoring as with careful positioning the band can hear more or less what the audience hear and it also seems to be fairly feedback resistant. Considerably less boxes to carry, (although the sub is quite heavy) and much, much less in way of cables.
Sound is very good indeed; clear and transparent and the sub does the job although our bass player brings a backline amp, as much for his benefit than the FOH sound.
Overall we're very happy and would highly recommend. Our lead guitarist has been a sound engineer all his working life and he's pretty impressed...so that's enough endorsement for me!
One additional thing, I bought the bundle which includes nice quality cover for the sub and case for the columns....you'll really need these to protect your new kit. Anyway a flaw with the column case was quickly dealt with by Thomann, who sent me a replacement case without further question, after I reported the problem with photos that clearly showed the flaw. Very impressed. Thanks Thomann!!

Top Säulensystem
Rique 01.05.2023
Als Hochzeits- und Event DJ habe ich ein transportables und schnell aufzubauendes System gesucht, ohne Stative mitschleppen und lange verkabeln zu müssen. Ich habe schon öfter mit dem Vorgänger Maui 28 G2 gespielt, welche mich soundtechnisch nicht vom Hocker gehauen hat. Aber was die Maui 28 G3 zu bieten hat ist echt schon sehenswert und vor allem hörenswert. Ich habe mir das Bundle mit Transporttaschen 2x bestellt und mittlerweile schon 3 Events damit beschallt.
Man merkt den Unterschied zur G2 enorm. Die Verarbeitung ist viel besser und macht einen megastabilen Eindruck. Die Säulen aus Aluminium lassen sich einfach einstecken und wackeln nicht. LD hat hier richtig nachgebessert. Der Klang der Anlage ist klar und druckvoll. Man merkt den 12" Woofer, der bedeutend tiefer kommt als die G2. Toll auch, dass die Säulen cardioid sind. Die Höhen und Mitten werden nach hinten gedämmt, so dass ich am DJ Pult nicht die volle Dröhnung abbekomme. Einzig der Bass dringt nach hinten voll durch. Aber auch hier kann man mit einem zusätzlich Subwoofer ein vollständig cardioides System aufbauen, da man am zweiten Subwoofer die Möglichkeit hat, die "Cardioid" Funkion zu aktivieren. Schon dringt auch kein Bass mehr nach hinten.
Alles in Allem ein tolles System, welches einfach zu transportieren und schnell aufzubauen ist, einen kristallklaren und druckvollen Klang hat und mit einer Leistung von 1030 Watt weit über manch anderen System steht. Per Bluetooth Sound vom Handy abspielen geht natürlich auch und hört sich fantastisch an.
Ich bin begeistert von diesem System und kann es nur weiterempfehlen.

Danke an Thomann für den tollen Service und die schnelle Lieferung.

Félicitations à Thomann pour leur professionnalisme, suite à une commande de 2 systems ,matériel arrivé en temps et en heure, très bien emballé…Au sujet du produit, dès la réception, j’ai installé un système et j’ai envoyé un titre en Bluetooth à partir de mon téléphone, sans aucune équalisation et là, très surpris agréablement, un équilibre entre les basses, le médium et l’aigu parfait, une clarté de son que je n’ai jamais entendu dans un tel système …habitué à travailler avec un gros système QSC ( K12 + KD M1) , j’ai donc essayé sur scène hier soir, pour une prestation pour 250 personnes en plein air , mes 2 caissons de grave et leurs têtes , une console Allen & Heath Q16, pour le mix, que vous dire…je suis « tombé sur le cul » du rendu , un grain génial, des basses bien rondes qui ne bavent pas, pour la puissance, j’ai travaillé à la moitié du volume ce qui était très très largement suffisant et surtout le fait de ne plus avoir besoin de retours en bain de pieds, le système étant installé derrière les musiciens, aucun larsen !! Que vous dire d’autre ?? Courez vite l’écouter, je pense que vous serez totalement surpris et convaincu, comme moi …

für mich nicht die Beste
sound-blaster 23.10.2023
Ich schwankte zwischen der LD Maui 28 G3 und der Ev Evolve50 . Hab mir ein Herz gefasst und beide Anlagen kommen lassen. Ich hab jeweils zwei Systeme für den Stereobetrieb geordert und dann beide Anlagen selber verglichen. Bei den aufgerufenen Preisen geh ich auf Nummer sicher und schau mir die Systeme vorher gern selber an. (bis zum nächsten T-Store ist es eine Tagesreise von mir)

Schon beim auspacken machte sich das höhere Gewicht der LD bemerkbar. Ob Sub oder Säulen, beides war merklich schwerer und unhandlicher als bei der EV. Die LD hat am Sub nur Griffmulden, und an einer war sogar eine scharfe, schmerzhafte Kante noch dran. Der EV Sub hat einen Tragegriff den man komplett umfassen kann und somit einen sehr stabilen Griff hat. Den EV Sub konnte ich mit einer Hand stemmen, bei der LD brauchte ich beide Hände. Auch die EV Säulen lassen sich durch das geringe Gewicht ratz-fatz auf den EV Sub aufstöpseln. Bei der LD sind an der Säulenunterseite 4 Führungstifte verbaut die in die Führungen an Sub Und Säule 1 passen. Da die Säule sehr hoch ist ) insg. gut 2m, hatte sie doch ein leichtes Spiel im gestecktem Zustand.

Bei der LD vermisse ich persönlich den klaren und präzisen Mitten- Hochtonklank der Säulen.
Es fehlt auch die Möglichkeit den Klang direkt am LD System zu regeln. Bis auf einen Bass-Regler und Volume ist da nix dran. Auch eine Steuerung per App, wie bei der Ev Evolve50 möglich, ist nicht vorgesehen. Auch der Bass ist mir etwas zu hart. Ist nur mein Geschmack da ich grösstenteils Countrymusik abspiele. Da ist der Sound der EV das perfekte Medium.

Kurz noch was zur Verarbeitung. Also beide Anlagen sind erstklassig und hochwertig verarbeitet. Da klappert und wackelt nix! Rein optisch gefällt mir die EV einfach besser, da dezenter und nicht so wuchtig in der Optik. Kauft euch ünbedingt die Sub Bags mit dazu. Vorallem bei der LD, da diese tatsächlich Klavierlack auf der Rückseite hat. Da ist schnell mal ne Schramme drin.
Die LD gibt’s auch im Bundle, da sind die Sub Bag`s mit dabei.

Also die LD ging zurück, weil die Ev Evolve 50 hat mich dann , trotz der höheren Anschaffungskosten, doch überzeugt!

Alle dargestellten Meinungen sind meine Erfahrungen mit der LD Maui 28 G3 und subjektiv, jeder sieht das sicher etwas anders, was vom persönlichen Geschmack abhängt!

Mein Tipp, wenn ihr die Möglichkeit habt ordert beide Anlagen und vergleicht selber.
