LD SYSTEMS - MAUI 66 G3 Black

With its MAUI 66 G3, LD Systems offers a 4-way column sound system designed for large-scale set-ups.

The subwoofer extends down to 28 Hz thanks to the 18-inch driver and the deep-tuned bass-reflex port. The elliptical ports optimise airflow and reduce unwanted noise, whilst the die-cast aluminium chassis and polyurea-coated birch cabinet ensure a robust construction.

The midrange section utilises 16 3.5-inch neodymium drivers, with additional drivers positioned above the tweeter motors. This arrangement significantly extends the midrange response and improves the coverage of the sound field across the listening area. The lower midrange drivers, which are horn-loaded, enhance the coherence of the sound wavefront, offering greater sensitivity and headroom.

For high frequencies, four 1-inch compression drivers work in conjunction with BEM-optimised waveguides and tailored phase plugs. The 120 x 25° directivity ensures even coverage across the listening area within the venue. The curved waveguides also maintain consistent dispersion, delivering precise reproduction, good spatial continuity and reduced distortion when the system is operating at high levels.

The cardioid polar pattern provides up to 18 dB of rear attenuation between 100 Hz and 1 kHz, to control the energy radiated behind the column. The second-generation DynX DSP incorporates limiters to keep the signal under control at high levels.

The subwoofer and column are connected wirelessly, with automatic column detection. Bluetooth 5.4 supports AAC and aptX codecs for direct, very high-quality audio streaming.
