This is a very timely and interesting thread.
The LD Systems Maui range seems to cater for all needs, with a huge amount of power in some of their models, especially the Maui 28 with 2000W!! I guess the balance is finding what you need, not just what you can afford! Having said that, just looking at one of my more used online suppliers, the pricing is not too much of a jump between each offering **Keep in mind, these are Australian Dollar Prices!! 800W Maui 5 Standard - $849.00 Maui 5 GO Battery Powered - $1349 1000W Maui 11 Gen2 - $1329 2000W Maui 28 Gen2 - $1549 Transport bags available for each one too. I'm sure, with some searching I could find some slightly better pricing, but this is just for comparisons sake. I was looking at the Fishman SA330X, but @ $1995 for the standard model without a sub woofer, I'm starting to think one of these might be the better option. I use a Zoom AC-3 for my guitar, but I've also been looking at a TC Helicon Harmony Singer 2 for the vocals to add something a little extra too.

Thank you! My story - short version - I am a 25 plus year singer songwriter doing mostly solo gigs. I do over 100 shows a year. Everybody on here that I have come across raved about their Maui systems, so I pulled the trigger and ordered a Maui 11 system, and, I had to ship it back to the store because I got no signal from the subwoofer and very little signal from the horns. It did not work, plain and simple. But, here is the thing - I bought the demo model that was somewhere around half price. I put it together and absolutely loved the look of it, no scratches, very much like new looking. I was bummed. I am asking about their technical support situation because I was going to call them and let them tell me it was a fluke and that I should try again. I emailed, nothing. I phoned - apparently there are 2 companies called LD Systems. Does anyone have a phone number to contact a rep from this company? Because, until I know I can have tech support, I am very resistant to purchase again. Tell me what you think, and thank you for your responses!

For your application I don't think you need a line array.
If your looking for light, hands down Bose S1 is your best choice 15 Lbs! Beautiful sound, loud I have both the Fishman Mini charge and the LD Maui 5 Go both great. Fishman heavier than Bose S1 and doesn't have the ability to put up on a stand. Maui 5 has more pieces to carry |

Sorry, the jam was with two anti-social media people and I didn't think to record anything.

Percussive stomp box
Hi Guys and girls,
I was just wondering how these mini line array setups work with an acoustic guitar and percussive stomp box running through it? (Something like a porch board or Wainator classic) Anyone got any personal experience with that in regards to sound and low end thump, while being able to reach a dance floor in a crowded bar? I haven't been able to try one out personally, but was wondering if something like a Bose L1C would cut it? or if I'd need to go for a larger model? Thanks in advance. |
