CAUTION:
Connecting signal cables can cause considerable noise. Make sure that devices connected to
the output are muted when plugged in. Otherwise, levels of noise can cause damage.
ATTENTION HIGH VOLUME AUDIO PRODUCTS!
This unit is intended for professional use.
Commercial operation of this appliance is subject to the applicable national regulations and
guidelines for accident prevention. Hearing damage due to high volume and continuous ex-
posure: Use of this product may produce high sound pressure levels (SPL) which may cause
hearing damage. Avoid exposure to high volumes.
SIGNAL TRANSMISSION BY RADIO (e.g. W-DMX or audio radio systems, Bluetooth):
The quality and performance of wireless signal transmissions is generally dependent on the
environmental conditions.
The range and signal stability are influenced by, for example:
• Shielding (e.g. masonry, metal buildings, water)
• High radio traffic (e.g. strong W-LAN networks)
• Interference
• Electromagnetic radiation (e.g. LED video walls, dimmers)
All range specifications refer to free-field application with visual contact without interference!
The operation of transmitters is subject to official regulations. These can vary from region to
region and must be checked by the operator before commissioning (e.g. radio frequency and
transmission power).

where radio operation can lead to possible interactions. These include, for example:
• Hospitals, health centres or other healthcare facilities that provide patient treatment with
specialist staff and equipment.
• Class I, II and III hazardous areas
• Restricted areas
• Military facilities
• Aircraft or vehicles
• Areas where the use of mobile phones is prohibited
NOTES FOR PORTABLE INDOOR EQUIPMENT

ASSEMBLY AND CABLING
DANGER: Always place the speaker system in a suitable location on a sufficiently stable,
level and horizontal surface. Make sure that the speaker system cannot fall off the edge
of a stage (e.g. due to vibration). There is a risk that units that have not been set up and
positioned correctly will fall over or down. This can seriously injure or kill people.
CONSTRUCTION
The LD Systems MAUI 11 G3 and MAUI 28 G3 column systems each consist of three components:
AThe subwoofer with integrated electronics for all system components.
BThe lower column element with the connections on the bottom and top (Lower Column – LC).
CThe upper column element with the connection on the underside (Upper Column – UC).
Place the subwoofer in the desired location, plug the lower
column element (LC) onto the connecting element on the top of the subwoofer 1and then the upper
column element (UC) onto the lower column element 2. Guide bolts made of stainless steel facilitate
correct assembly and ensure a secure hold at the same time. The column elements are automatically
supplied with the corresponding audio signals when the system components are plugged together
using custom-made multipin connectors.
