LD Systems MAUI 28 G2 Manuel D'utilisation page 5

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Before startup, the subwoofer of the LD Systems MAUI28G2 array system must be placed
upright on its feet, on a flat surface. Never operate your system on a trolley, as there is a risk
that the entire system might be unstable. Accidents and damage may result. To ensure ade-
quate cooling, during operation a minimum distance of 50 cm must be maintained between
the back of the subwoofer and other objects such as walls for example.
Please ensure the correct connection of audio and power for the system and all connected
devices such as mixers, CD players, etc. Use only undamaged cables of suitable diameter
and always unwind cable reels completely. If necessary, use cable bridges to avoid tripping
over loose cables. Never place the device directly on an edge. Do not place the subwoofer
on a table. To avoid unwanted background noise when turning on connected devices, always
turn on the system last and turn it off first.
SETUP
The LD Systems MAUI28G2 array system consists of three components:
A. Subwoofer with integrated electronics for all system components.
B. Column speaker element with connectors on bottom and top.
C. Column speaker element with a connection on the bottom.
After setting up the subwoofer at the desired location, the lower column with the 8 midrange
drivers is plugged into the subwoofer, and then the upper speaker column with 8 midrange drivers
and the tweeters onto the lower column (please pay attention to the symbols on subwoofer and
speaker columns, see drawing). Steel guiding pins facilitate the correct installation and ensure at
the same time a secure hold. Using optional accessories, it is possible to mount the entire speaker
pillar separately and attach it to a wall or a stand (two variants in each case).
IMPORTANT:In event of mounting on the subwoofer, always take care to ensure that both pillar
elements are used and never only the upper pillar element. Otherwise, the automatic detection
function will mute the system so as to avoid damage. In the event of separate mounting, always
take care to ensure that both pillar elements are used and never only the upper pillar element.
Otherwise, the automatic detection function will not work correctly and the system can potentially
suffer damage.
CONNECTION AND OPERATION
The device allows both the volume of the entire system and the volume of the subwoofer
in relation to the total volume to be adjusted separately. Source devices can be connected
using both balanced and unbalanced cables (XLR / 6.3 mm jack / RCA / mini jack). The
integrated 4-channel mixer offers a microphone input, a high-impedance instrument input
for an electric guitar for example, an input for source devices with line level and furthermore
a Bluetooth unit, which can be used in parallel to the 3.5 mm mini-jack input.
