Key Features & Benefits
-
Cardioid Dispersion Control:
- The column elements are engineered to create a cardioid pattern, which focuses sound on the audience and dramatically reduces sound firing backward (up to 18 dB). This results in a cleaner stage, less feedback, and more precise coverage.
-
Exceptional 96kHz Audio Quality:
- Built on a powerful DSP platform, the MAUI® 44 G2 delivers high-resolution audio with an ultra-low latency of
-
TrueWireless™ Stereo Technology:
- For larger events or installations, this feature makes life easier by allowing two MAUI® 44 G2 systems to be wirelessly linked for true stereo reproduction, eliminating the need for extra cables.
-
Advanced Driver & Waveguide Design:
- Twelve 3.5" neodymium speakers and four 1" HF drivers with a BEM-optimized waveguide provide 120° of wide horizontal coverage and focused vertical directivity, ensuring more energy reaches listeners standing further away.
-
Fast, Cable-Free Assembly:
- Assembly is quick and simple with no need for cables or stands between the components; special multi-pin connections lock the system together securely.
-
Automatic Setup Detection:
- The system intelligently recognizes its configuration. For example, if the column is removed to use the subwoofer as a follower, the display automatically adjusts and disables unnecessary functions.
