The MAUI 44 G3 MIX is a high-performance, fully active 4-way column PA system with a passive cardioid column design and an integrated 8-channel digital mixer. Developed for demanding live performances, it combines powerful full-range sound, plenty of headroom, controlled dispersion and comprehensive mixing capabilities with the fast, straightforward handling the MAUI series is known for.
The integrated digital mixer provides 8 × XLR/TRS combo inputs, 6 of which feature microphone preamps, plus on-board effects and a footswitch connection for hands-free control. Bluetooth audio streaming enables convenient, high-quality wireless playback. Four monitor outputs and a dedicated system output provide flexible monitoring and routing options.
All mixer and system settings can be controlled directly from the integrated colour display or wirelessly via the free MAUI MIX app for iOS and Android. The SysLink® port connects two MAUI 44 G3 MIX systems for true stereo operation, providing centralised control of all 16 channels across both systems.
The high-power 15" neodymium woofer delivers punchy, precise low end down to 34 Hz. Specially airflow-optimised bass reflex ports reduce turbulence and port noise, ensuring clean, defined bass even at high output levels.
The two-piece column houses a total of 14 × 3.5" neodymium midrange drivers and 4 × 1" compression drivers. In the upper column section, newly developed phase plugs and BEM-optimised waveguides ensure even, controlled dispersion. The lower column section features horn-loaded midrange drivers for increased efficiency, substantial headroom and powerful, clear vocal reproduction. The result is coherent mid- and high-frequency reproduction with a dispersion pattern of 120° × 25°.
The column's passive cardioid design directs sound energy towards the audience while attenuating rearward radiation by up to 18 dB. This significantly reduces unwanted sound on stage. With an additional rear-facing MAUI 44 G3 SUB and the Cardioid preset, this principle can be extended to the low-frequency range, increasing bass output towards the audience while noticeably reducing it behind the system. For maximum bass boost, the second subwoofer can instead be positioned facing forwards, doubling the sound pressure in the low-frequency range (+6 dB).
The Class-D amplifier delivers 1,800 W RMS (3,600 W peak), enabling a maximum SPL of 133 dB. The fully active 4-way architecture uses dedicated driver groups and amplifier channels for each frequency band. Crossover frequencies are set at 200 Hz, 700 Hz and 1,800 Hz. Equipped with DynX® DSP (Gen. 2) and advanced peak, RMS and thermal limiters, the MAUI 44 G3 MIX delivers clean, undistorted sound even at the highest output levels.
The polyurea-coated birch multiplex subwoofer enclosure and rugged aluminium columns are built to withstand everyday professional use. Four ergonomic carrying handles on the subwoofer and recessed handles in the columns make transport and handling easier.
The MAUI 44 G3 MIX is ideal for solo performers, duos, bands and event service providers who want professional sound reinforcement, integrated mixing and flexible monitoring in one system.
