MAUI 44 G3 und 66 G3
Now live · New at musikmarkt
Bigger. Deeper. Louder.
For those who want more: with the MAUI 44 G3, MAUI 44 G3 MIX and MAUI 66 G3, LD Systems presents three new column PAs for professional live use. The quick plug-and-play of the MAUI series meets a fully active 4-way architecture with dedicated driver groups, high headroom and controlled cardioid dispersion.
Made for DJs, bands and event technicians who need more power, more low end and longer throw on the go – up to 3800 W peak, 135 dB and bass down to 28 Hz.

What’s new
The third generation raises the bar
Five things that set the G3 apart from its predecessor, the MAUI 44 G2.
01
Fully active 4-way system
Four separately amplified bands crossing over at 200 Hz, 700 Hz and 1.8 kHz – each driver group only plays what it does best.
02
New neodymium subwoofers
15" down to 34 Hz or 18" down to 28 Hz, plus flow-optimised elliptical bass reflex ports: punchy and precise without port noise.
03
More midrange drivers
14 × 3.5" in the 44 G3, 16 × 3.5" in the 66 G3 – two of them sit above the tweeters and carry the mids further.
04
Waveguide & horn-loaded mids
BEM-optimised waveguide with new phase plugs at the top, horn-loaded mids at the bottom: an even 120° × 25° and higher efficiency.
05
DynX® DSP Gen. 2
Peak, RMS and thermal limiters keep the sound distortion-free even at full volume – plus Bluetooth® 5.4 with SBC and AAC.
The models

Technology in detail
What’s inside the new MAUI
Original drawings by LD Systems – the legend follows each drawing from top to bottom.
Four ways, four amplifiers
Instead of one column doing everything at once, the G3 splits the signal into four bands. Each band has its own drivers and its own amplifier – for more headroom, clarity and clean transitions.
- High> 1.8 kHz4 × 1" compression drivers on the BEM waveguide
- Mid700 Hz – 1.8 kHz6 × 3.5" (44 G3) or 8 × 3.5" (66 G3) in the upper column
- Low-Mid200 – 700 Hz8 × 3.5" horn-loaded in the lower column
- Low< 200 Hz15" (44 G3) or 18" (66 G3) neodymium subwoofer

The column – taken apart
- 2 × 3.5" above the tweetersMAUI 66 G3 only: more mids and reach over distance.
- 4 × 1" compression driversPrecise highs above 1.8 kHz.
- BEM-optimised waveguideEven dispersion over 120° × 25° – front to back of the audience.
- Optimised phase plugsNewly developed for the midrange drivers of the upper column.
- Horn-loaded midrange driversLower column: more efficiency and level for vocals and instruments.
- Passive cardioid designUp to 18 dB less sound to the rear (100 Hz – 1 kHz).
The subwoofer – in section
- Airflow-optimised bass reflex portsElliptical shape: less turbulence and port noise, even at high levels.
- Neodymium woofer15" in the 44 G3 (down to 34 Hz), 18" in the 66 G3 (down to 28 Hz).
- Aluminium die-cast basketStiff and light – for controlled, precise bass.
- Birch plywood cabinetWith a rugged polyurea coating for regular use.
- DSP and amplifier moduleDynX® DSP Gen. 2 with peak, RMS and thermal limiters.
- Four ergonomic handlesTop, bottom and on both sides.
Cardioid
More sound for the audience, less on stage
The column’s passive cardioid design focuses the energy forwards and attenuates the rear by up to 18 dB between 100 Hz and 1 kHz. The result: less feedback, less mush on stage and fewer reflections from the back wall. Add a second subwoofer to extend the principle into the low end.

Setup 1
Stereo
One MAUI G3 left and right. The standard for events, DJ sets and bands with a wide stereo image.
Setup 2
Stereo + cardioid
One extra MAUI 44 G3 SUB or MAUI 66 G3 SUB per side, turned to face backwards, cardioid preset on: the bass stays off the stage too.
Setup 3
Stereo + bass boost
The second subwoofer faces forward and delivers up to +6 dB more bass – for open-air events and bass-heavy sets.

FAQ
Quick questions
Tap a question to open it.
What is the difference between the MAUI 44 G3 and MAUI 66 G3?
The MAUI 66 G3 has an 18" instead of a 15" subwoofer (bass down to 28 instead of 34 Hz), a little more power (3800 instead of 3600 W peak, 135 instead of 133 dB) and two extra midrange drivers above the tweeters for more throw. The MAUI 44 G3, on the other hand, is around 10 kg lighter.
What does the cardioid column do in practice?
It attenuates sound to the rear by up to 18 dB between 100 Hz and 1 kHz. Less reaches the stage – which reduces microphone feedback and keeps the sound cleaner for the DJ or band.
Can I add a second subwoofer?
Yes. A MAUI 44 G3 SUB or MAUI 66 G3 SUB connects via the sub out. Turned backwards with the cardioid preset, the bass becomes directional too; facing forwards, it adds up to +6 dB of bass.
Do I need cables between subwoofer and column?
No. The column elements simply plug in, the connection runs through the contacts without cables. The column is detected automatically.
When will the MAUI 44 G3 MIX be available?
According to LD Systems, from mid/end of December 2026. The MAUI 44 G3 and MAUI 66 G3 are expected from end of October/early November 2026.
Can two MAUI 44 G3 MIX be linked?
Yes, via SysLink®. Two systems become one stereo setup with 16 input channels, controlled centrally from the display or the MAUI MIX app.
Which Bluetooth® does the MAUI G3 have?
The MAUI 44 G3 and MAUI 66 G3 use Bluetooth® 5.4 with SBC and AAC codecs. The MAUI 44 G3 MIX also has Bluetooth® audio streaming on board.
