SETUP, CONNECTION AND STARTUP:
TRANSPORT AND SETUP
The LD MAUI 28 active system is very compact and easy to transport. The subwoofer must be placed on the
rubber feet before use. Please NEVER use the system while it is on a transport trolley! There is a danger of
uncontrolled movement of the entire system. This can lead to accidents and damage. The amplifier cooling
elements are in the back of the subwoofer. When the amplifier is in use, please maintain a minimum distance of
50 cm between these cooling elements and other objects, walls, etc., to permit sufficient heat exchange.
Please make certain that the system and all connected source devices, mixers, CD players, etc. are properly
connected to one another and to the power mains. Use only undamaged cables with a sufficient cross-section
and only completely unrolled cable reels. Route the cables so as to avoid tripping hazards (gaffa tape). The unit
should never be positioned directly at an edge. Please also do not position the subwoofer on a table. It is ad-
visable to always turn the system on first and off last in order to avoid loud popping sounds when the connected
devices are turned on and off.
CONNECTION AND OPERATIONIt is possible to set both the overall system volume as well as the volume of the
subwoofer in relation to the overall volume. The ultimate volume level is then adjusted via the source device. The
connections permit both an unbalanced and an unbalanced connection (XLR / jack 6.3 mm) to a source device.
The position of the connectors and control elements of the LD MAUI 28 are shown on the following page.
SETUP
The LD Systems MAUI 28 all-in-one array system consists of the following three components:
1. Subwoofer with integrated electronics for all 3 parts of the
system.
2. The lower vertical array column with 8 x 3" speakers and 2
multipin connectors, one each on the top and bottom.
3. The upper vertical array column with 8 x 3" speakers, the
tweeter and a multipin connector on the bottom.
Once the subwoofer is positioned in the room that is to be filled
with sound, the lower vertical array column is plugged onto the
subwoofer. Four sturdy steel pins help ensure that the multipin
connectors of both speakers mate perfectly. Now the upper
vertical array column is simply plugged onto the lower column
according to the same principle. Special control electronics
use an LED to indicate that all parts of the system are properly
connected after the MAUI 28 array system is turned on.
