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. masonny, metal buildings, water)

- High radio traffic (e.g. strong W-LAN networks)

- Electromagnetic radiation (e.g. LED video walls, dimmers)

All range specifications refer to free-field application with visual contact without interference!

The operation oftransmitters 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)

WARNING: VAN Units with wireless signal transmission are not suitable for operation in sensitive areas

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 1, Il and Ill hazardous areas

- Military facilities

- Aircraft or vehicles

+ Areas Where the use of mobile phones is prohibited

NOTES FOR PORTABLE INDOOR EQUIPMENT 1. Temporary operation! Event equipment is generally designed for temporary use only.

2. Continuous operation or permanent installation can lead to impairment of the function and premature ageing of the units.

CONSTRUCTION The LD Systems MAUI 11 63 and MAUI 28 G3 column systems each consist of three components:

re subwoofer with integrated electronics for all system components. E re lower column element with the connections on the bottom and top (Lower Column - LC). BB re 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 ŒB and then the upper column element (UC) onto the lower column element ÆB 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.

GB upper column - UC

CONNECTIONS, CONTROLS AND INDICATORS The connector panels of the MAUI 11 63 and MAUI 28 G3 column systems are identical and are located on

the rear of the subwoofers.

ED POWER INPUT IEC mains socket with integrated use holder. A suitable mains cable is included in the scope of delivery. IMPORTANT NOTE: Replace the fuse only with one ofthe same type and rating. Pay attention to the imprint on the housing. Ifthe fuse blows repeatediy, please contact an authorised service centre.

BB rower On/off switch. Always switch on the speaker system as the last unit in the signal chain and switch it off again as the first unit.

ENL-R Stereo line input with two combo jacks (3-pin XLR / 6.3 mm jack) suitable for both balanced and unbal- anced cabling.

D THRUL-R Stereo line output with two male 3-pin XLR sockets (output signal = input signal).

Balanced line output with a male 3-pin XLR socket for driving a follower subwoofer (MAUI 11 63 or MAUI 28 63 subwoofer). Follower subwoofer: Use either line input IN L'or R for signal control.

Both level controls MAIN and SUB as well as the Bluetooth unit are deactivated when the MAUI 11 G3 or MAUI 28 63 subwoofer is used as a follower subwoofer (speaker columns not mounted).

The description ofthe Cardioid setup and the expansion with a follower subwoofer without

Cardioid function can be found at TJ CARDIOID ON / OFF.

Guan Adjust the overall volume. The subwoofer volume is also controlled according to the setting on the SUB volume control. Turning to the right increases the volume, turning to the left decreases it.

suB Volume control for the subwoofer. Turning to the right increases the volume, turning to the left decreases it.

A STATUS DISPLAY PROTECT: The PROTECT indicator lights up permanently if the system is overloaded or overheats. The integrated amplifiers are automatically muted. After reaching normal operating conditions, the unit returns to normal operating mode after a few minutes and the PROTECT indicator goes out.

LIMIT: Lights up when the speaker system is operated in the upper limit range. A short flash of the LIMIT display is not critical. To protect the system, an excessive signal level is gently reduced by the integrated limiter. Ifthe LIMIT indicator is lit for a longer time or continuousi, reduce the volume level. Failure to do so may result in distorted sound reproduction and damage to the speaker system. SIGNAL: Indicator for the mixer sum signal. The signal acquisition takes place before the MAIN volume control. POWER: Lights up when the subwoofer is correctly connected to the mains and switched on.

FOLLOW: Lights up when the column elements are not installed on the subwoofer. The two level controls MAIN and SUB as well as the Bluetooth unit are deactivated in this case. Use as a follower subwoofer.

Æ2 HOLD TO LINK Press the HOLD TO LINK button for about 3 seconds to put the internal Bluetooth module into pairing standby, by doing so vou also disconnect from a previously paired device.

The Bluetooth symbol flashes for the duration of the pairing readiness. Activate Bluetooth on Vour playback device (smartphone, tablet, etc.) and select MAUI 1163 or MAUI 2863 in the Bluetooth menu. Pairing now takes place automatically; as soon as the devices are paired, the Bluetooth symbol lights up permanentiy. Audio playback via Bluetooth can now be started.

© cARDIOID ON / OFF CARDIOID ON CARDIOID ON:

With the help of another subwoofer (same model) and the Cardioid function, a subwoofer array with directional radiation can be realised.

The follower subwoofer is placed upright and turned horizontally by 180° directly next ya rouLow to the main subwoofer (MAIN). Activate the Cardioid function in the follower subwoofer

(CARDIOID ON, see wiring example 3).

CARDIOID OFF CARDIOID OFF: Deactivate the cardioid function in the follower subwoofer (CARDIOID OFF) and place it upright in the same orientation directly next to the main subwoofer (MAIN)

2 cooLiNG FINS To prevent damage to the unit, do not cover the cooling fins on the back and ensure that air can circulate freely.

B CARE, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR To ensure the proper functioning of the unit in the long term, it must be regularly maintained and serviced as required. The need for care and maintenance depends on the intensity of use and the environment.

We generally recommend a visual inspection before each commissioning, Furthermore, we recommend that Vou carry out all the maintenance measures listed below every 500 hours of operation or, in the case of less intensive use, after one year at the latest. Defects caused by insufficient care may result in limitations of the warranty claims.

CARE (CAN BE CARRIED OUT BY THE USER)

WARNING! Before carrying out any maintenance work, disconnect the power supply and, if possible, all connections to the unit.

e D | NOTE! moroper care can lead to impairment or even destruction of the unit

Housing surfaces must be cleaned with a clean, damp cloth. Make sure that no moisture can penet- rate the unit.

Air inlets and outlets must be regularly cleaned of dust and dirt. If compressed air is used, make sure that damage to the unit is prevented (e.g. fans must be blocked for this case).

. Cables and plug contacts must be cleaned regularly and freed from dust and dirt.

In general, no cleaning agents, disinfectants or agents with an abrasive effect may be used for maintenance, otherwise the surface finish is likely to be impaired. Especially solvents, such as alco- hol, can impair the function of housing seals.

5. Units should generally be stored in a dry place and protected from dust and dirt.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR (BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY)

DANGER! There are live components in the unit. Even after disconnecting from the mains, residual voltage may still be present in the unit, eg. due to charged capacitors.

S NOTICE! There are no assemblies in the unit that require maintenance by the user. i e

NOTICE! Maintenance and repair work may only be carried out by specialist personnel authorised by the manufacturer. If in doubt, contact the manufacturer.

NOTICE! Improperly performed maintenance work may affect the warranty claim.
