MAILA L is the largest ground-stack stereo system in the MAILA family and delivers maximum power and punch for medium-sized live sound applications, clubs and corporate events when a flown setup is not possible for various reasons.
As a ground stack system, MAILA L sets new standards with its flexibility. Powered by a total output of 15 kW, MAILA L combines several acoustic concepts into a unique sound reinforcement solution: bandpass subwoofer with cardioid function, column element with integrated DSP amplifier and coaxial satellite with line array functionality.
The MAILA L is based on four 2.5 kW 2×15” high-performance subwoofers (MAILA SUB) in bandpass design, which deliver a massive and powerful bass foundation with their newly developed SysCore® DSP. On top of the double subwoofers sits the MAILA COL full-range column module, which, in addition to the 4x 6.5” woofers for an extended low-mid range, also includes a 4-channel DSP amplifier (2.5 kW) with SysCore® DSP powering the MAILA SAT satellites via the cable-free SmartLink+® rails.
Six MAILA SAT satellites are mounted on each COL column element in an elegant unibody aluminium housing. Based on Advanced WaveAhead® technology, each SAT has five 1” tweeters that are placed in front of a 6.5” midrange driver and coupled without interference via the SonicGuide® (two combined waveguides). Furthermore, despite the satellite’s compact dimensions, the integrated passive membrane provides extended punch down to 100 Hz. The result is a classic line array dispersion pattern with an impressive throw due to the height of the ground stack setup of over 3 metres.
On the back of the housing of each MAILA SAT is a rotating handle which hides a groundbreaking innovation: via the patented EasySplay® mechanism, users can adjust the inclination of each individual satellite continuously from 0° to 8° literally in the blink of an eye. The angle can be adjusted with just one hand, even under load. In this way, every MAILA system offers a uniquely flexible concept for adapting the sound coverage to any sound reinforcement situation at any time.
MAILA is not just “one” product, but a scalable sound reinforcement system that sets new standards in its diversity and flexibility. If required, the MAILA COL column module can control up to eight MAILA SAT and, in addition to the ground stack variant, also enables flown configurations with subwoofers placed on the floor in various arrangements. In this way, MAILA L covers medium-sized festival stages and clubs just as effortlessly and precisely as conferences and lectures in the context of corporate events.
Via the free MAILA app (iPadOS), every MAILA system can be adapted quickly, easily and precisely and supplied with software updates wirelessly. Based on the integrated LogoLink® Wireless Connection, operating ranges of up to 30 metres under practical conditions are no problem for MAILA. Once connected, the app automatically detects the available MAILA components and enables the system to be set up quickly and easily – including calculation of the SAT angles – in the run-up to an event. The highlight: the wireless antennas are invisibly integrated into the LD logos (LogoLink®).
With MAILA, LD Systems presents a new sound reinforcement concept with which users do not need to commit to one system only. MAILA has many faces.
