$2,199.00
LD Systems MAUI 28 G3 Powered 12″ Cardioid Column PA System is compact, powerful and easy to use. This column‑style PA is the perfect companion for DJs and smaller bands. The MAUI series represents the all‑in‑one concept in every detail, offering an unrivalled combination of sound, design, technology and handling. Set it up, plug it in, and you’re ready to go.
Small Never Sounded So Big
The MAUI 28 G3 delivers a huge, powerful and precise sound with 1,030 W RMS (2,060 W peak). It’s ideal as a main PA for concerts, a sound system for mobile DJs or a public address system for weddings, corporate events and more.
Sleek and Elegant Design
With its clean, modern design, the MAUI 28 G3 looks as good as it sounds. The two aluminium column elements sit at the front edge of the subwoofer for a seamless visual impression. The columns feature twelve 3.5″ midrange drivers and two 1″ tweeters, providing even sound distribution with constant horizontal dispersion thanks to the innovative phase plug design.
A BEM‑optimised waveguide ensures that high frequencies reach even the rear of the audience area with clarity.
Highly Precise MAUI 28 G3
LD Systems engineers optimised the crossover between midrange and tweeter drivers to reduce distortion and interference. The result is transparent, vibrant and powerful reproduction of vocals and instruments across the entire 120° × 30° dispersion field.
The columns are designed as cardioid elements, providing controlled low‑mid output at the front and up to 18 dB attenuation at the rear for a cleaner stage sound.
Cardioid Design
The subwoofer features a 12″ driver with four bass‑reflex ports, delivering tight, punchy low‑end down to 37 Hz. Adding a second subwoofer increases bass output by up to 6 dB and enables cardioid operation at the push of a button.
The ultra‑durable polyurea coating ensures the subwoofer withstands the demands of touring.
Truly Dynamic
The MAUI 28 G3 is a powerful sound system with practical features for DJs, musicians and technicians. Bluetooth® 5.0 with AAC coding provides high‑quality wireless audio. Transport is easy, and the enhanced hidden multi‑pin connectors between elements offer increased stability during assembly.
