SYSTEM STATUS DISPLAY

PROTECT – The display field lights up if the system is overloaded/overheating. The amplifiers are then muted automatically. After reaching normal
operating conditions, the unit returns to the normal operating mode after a few minutes.
LIMIT – The display field lights up if the speaker system is being operated in its upper limit range. Brief illumination of the LED is not critical. To
protect the system, any excessive signal level is lowered smoothly by the integrated limiter. If the limiter LED remains lit for longer or permanently,
reduce the volume level.
SIGNAL – The display field lights up when the device is receiving an audio signal. The signal is received before the MAIN level control.
POWER – The display field lights up when the device is properly connected to the mains and switched on.
SLAVE – The display field lights up when the columns are detached from the system and the subwoofer can be used as a subwoofer extension.
THRU
5
Balanced stereo line output with two male 3-pin XLR sockets for sending the input signal.
SUB OUT
6
Balanced line output with male 3-pin XLR socket for control of the subwoofer extension.
Subwoofer extension: Use either line input L or R for signal control. Both MAIN and SUB level controls and the Bluetooth unit with TWS are disabled if
the MAUI 44 G2 subwoofer is used as a subwoofer extension. A description of the cardioid set-up can be found under point 9 CARDIOID ON/OFF.
HOLD TO LINK
7
The MAUI 44 G2 PA system is equipped with Bluetooth, which means that audio files from a Bluetooth playback device (e.g. smartphone or tablet)
can be played back on the MAUI 44 G2 PA (maximum distance between the two devices depends on the surroundings).
To pair and connect the internal Bluetooth unit with a Bluetooth playback device, press and hold the HOLD TO LINK button for approximately 3
seconds until the Bluetooth display field above the button flashes rhythmically (approx. 3 Hz). Enable Bluetooth on your playback device and search
on the user interface for available devices. Select "MAUI 44 G2" and pair your Bluetooth device with the Bluetooth unit of the MAUI 44 G2 PA system. If
successfully paired, the Bluetooth symbol will light up permanently and playback can be started. The volume is controlled via the MAIN level control
or on the playback device.
To disconnect a Bluetooth device and set the Bluetooth unit back to standby, press and hold the HOLD TO LINK button again for approximately 3
seconds. To delete the entire list of paired devices (= factory default), press and hold the HOLD TO LINK and STEREO LINK buttons simultaneously for
approximately 2 seconds.
If the Bluetooth connection is interrupted (e.g. range is exceeded), the Bluetooth LED will go out. Connection can be restored automatically within
approx. 90 seconds (Bluetooth device back in range). After 90 seconds, the connection can be restored with the Bluetooth playback device (connect
paired device).
When using a single MAUI 44 G2 PA system, any stereo signal is automatically summed to mono in the Bluetooth module.
Note: The Bluetooth and TWS functions are not available if the subwoofer is used as a subwoofer extension for an existing MAUI 44 G2 PA system.
STEREO LINK / TWS
8
The MAUI 44 G2 PA system is equipped with a Bluetooth stereo link function (true wireless stereo), which means that if two MAUI 44 G2 systems
are used, stereo audio signals transmitted via Bluetooth can also be played back in stereo without a cable connection between the two systems
(the maximum distance between the two devices is 40 metres under optimal conditions). The system that is connected to the Bluetooth playback
device is hereinafter referred to as the master unit, the stereo expansion as a slave unit. If the master unit with the Bluetooth playback device
is connected to the slave unit, the Bluetooth display field and the TWS display field on the master unit light up permanently. If connection is
successfully established between the slave unit and the master unit, the TWS display field on the slave unit lights up permanently and the Blue-
tooth display field flashes slowly (approximately 0.3 Hz). During the pairing process, the TWS display fields on both systems flash rhythmically at a
frequency of about 3 Hz.
Depending on the situation, there are two different methods to pair two MAUI 44 G2 PA systems via TWS:
Situation A. Stereo system with 2 x MAUI 44 G2 and 1x Bluetooth playback device: Pair a Bluetooth playback device with the left MAUI 44 G2 system.
The left-hand system automatically becomes the master unit. Disconnect all existing Bluetooth connections on the right-hand MAUI 44 G2 (press
and hold HOLD TO LINK and STEREO LINK simultaneously for approximately 2 seconds). Now pair the right MAUI 44 G2 system with the master unit by
pressing and holding the STEREO LINK button on both devices for approximately 3 seconds within 30 seconds. The right-hand system automatically
becomes the slave unit (max. distance when pairing 15 m). The master unit transmits the left channel of the stereo signal from the Bluetooth device
and the slave unit the right channel.
Situation B. Stereo system with 2 x MAUI 44 G2, pair Bluetooth playback device later: Disconnect all existing Bluetooth connections on the slave unit
by simultaneously pressing and holding the HOLD TO LINK and STEREO LINK buttons on the slave unit for approximately 2 seconds. When pairing two
MAUI 44 G2 systems, ensure that the distance between the systems is no more than 15 metres. Press and hold the STEREO LINK button on the master
unit for approximately 3 seconds and press the STEREO LINK button twice in quick succession on the slave unit. Pairing occurs place automatically
within approximately 30 seconds. Pairing a Bluetooth playback device with the master unit can now be done later. The master unit transmits the
left channel of the stereo signal from a Bluetooth playback device and the slave unit the right channel.
