LD Systems MAILA - Modular All-Round Intelligent Line Array
For LD Systems, this year is all about one single product: MAILA! The “Modular All-Round Intelligent Line Array” which occupied the entire LD Systems booth at this year’s prolight+sound show, and marks the next milestone in the German pro audio manufacturer’s brand history.
MAILA is not just a product – it is a scalable sound reinforcement system that sets new standards in user- friendliness and flexibility in the professional rental market.
MAILA combines the best concepts of sound reinforcement technology in one system. The basis is formed by four basic elements: the MAILA SAT satellite module, the MAILA COL column module, the MAILA SPA amplifier module, and the MAILA SUB subwoofer. With these elements, MAILA enables scalable, unrivalled flexible system configurations for a wide range of sound reinforcement applications.
This extends from precise stereo speech reinforcement without subwoofers, to larger conferences and club gigs, to flown line array systems for professional live sound reinforcement at festivals with variable subwoofer arrangements on the ground.
In addition to the system flexibility, MAILA impresses all round with its sophisticated features and technologies that noticeably simplify the life of every sound engineer. SmartLink+®, for example, enables wireless connection (power + signal) as well as automatic detection of the individual modules via robust aluminium rails, while the invisible LogoLink® antennas offer wireless connection with ranges of up to 30 metres under practical conditions. Using the free MAILA App (iPad OS), each MAILA system can also be configured quickly, easily and in detail – including the calculation of SAT angles and wireless system updates.
With the patented EasySplay® mechanism, MAILA takes user- friendliness in the line array sector to a whole new level.
This revolutionary mechanism allows users to adjust the tilt of each satellite almost infinitely between 0° and 8°. The angle can be adjusted with just one hand via a rotary handle, even under load. In this way, every MAILA system offers an innovative and uniquely flexible concept for adapting the sound coverage to any sound reinforcement situation at any time. The result is a large, scalable sound for almost any application.
The MAILA system is built around four basic elements:
The MAILA SAT satellite speaker – which comes in a unibody aluminium enclosure – is a genuine line array element and houses five 1” tweeters in front of a 6.5” midrange driver, arranged in coaxial design based Advanced WaveAhead® technology.
The MAILA COL full-range column module, with its four 6.5” active woofers, doesn’t just provide an extended low- mid range – it also includes a 4-channel DSP amplifier with
2.5 kW of total power, which drives both the column itself and the MAILA SAT satellites.
MAILA SPA is the only MAILA module without integrated loudspeakers – and yet it is an integral part of the MAILA concept. MAILA SPA is an amplifier module in an elegant unibody aluminium design. It features an integrated 1.25 kW power amplifier with SysCore® DSP for driving up to eight MAILA SAT satellites.
Via the SmartLink+® system, the satellites can be easily plugged in and wirelessly supplied with audio and power. In addition, the SmartLink+® technology allows independent determination of the installed satellites for optional automatic or manual DSP processing. As with the MAILA COL column module, MAILA SPA allows users to implement ground stack configurations with a spacer rod (included in the MAILA S set), as well as flown systems with the EasyMount+® mounting adapter.
MAILA SUB forms the basis of every MAILA system. This 2.5 kW double 15” high- performance subwoofer is a bandpass design and delivers a massive and powerful bass foundation in any application with its SysCore® DSP. The acoustic concept of the MAILA SUB is based on a planar wave bandpass design with quarter wave horn and symmetrical driver design. Due to the opposing arrangement of the two 15” loudspeakers, the MAILA SUB allows for exceptional impulse compensation, resulting in powerful and precise low frequency output.
