MAILA® ARRAY RC XL

The MAILA SAT satellite speaker is a true line array element and is full of surprises The elegant and robust unibody aluminium enclosure houses five 1'' tweeters in front of a 6.5'' midrange driver, arranged in a coaxial design based on Advanced WaveAhead® technology and coupled almost interference-free via the SonicGuide® (two combined waveguides). The result is a classic line array radiation pattern with impressive throw and energy density. The horn-loaded 6.5'' midrange driver with 1.8'' voice coil and neodymium driver features a split-path waveguide as well as a phase plug and enables a particularly high sensitivity in the midrange.The tweeter section is formed by five vertically arranged 1'' dome tweeters that do not require a compression chamber and thus offer an even and natural dispersion pattern (100° horizontal x 8° vertical). At the same time, the midrange driver's phase plug reduces the heat generated by the tweeter voice coils, contributing to the satellite's increased efficiency. Furthermore, the passive membrane placed behind the woofers provides extended punch down to 100 Hz despite the compact dimensions of the satellite housing.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 continously from 0° to 8° 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.For an especially easy setup, the passive MAILA SAT array satellites are equipped with the LD Systems SmartLink+® system, which ensures a cable-free connection between the MAILA SAT modules as well as between MAILA SAT and MAILA SPA amplifier module or MAILA COL column module. Both the audio signal and the power supply for the passive MAILA elements are provided via the robust aluminium rails. In addition, SmartLink+® allows the installed satellites to be detected for automatic or manual DSP processing.

The MAILA rain covers are made of high-quality, rain-repellent material and offer reliable protection for the LD Systems MAILA system at outdoor events. The MAILA HOOD RC L was specially developed for flown arrays. It not only protects the MAILA COL and MAILA SPA modules from water ingress from above, but also the EasyMount+ mounting unit. The MAILA HOOD RC L can also be fitted to COL/SPA modules already installed during flight operations.

MAILA SPA is the only MAILA module without integrated loudspeakers - and yet an integral part of the MAILA concept. Its versatility can already be guessed at by looking at the range of MAILA sets: The MAILA SPA amplifier module is used in the smallest MAILA-S ground stack set as well as in the large MAILA XL version with flown arrays.MAILA SPA is an amplifier module in elegant unibody aluminium design with integrated 1.25 kW power amplifier with SysCore® DSP for controlling up to eight MAILA SAT satellites. Via the SmartLink+® system, the satellites can be simply slid onto the SPA and wirelessly supplied with a signal. In addition, SmartLink+® enables automatic detection of the installed satellites for automatic or manual DSP processing.As with the MAILA COL column module, MAILA SPA allows users to create ground stack configurations with a speaker pole (included in the MAILA S set) as well as flown setups with the EasyMount+® mounting adapter.With LogoLink®, LD Systems has added another innovation to MAILA. Via the free MAILA app (iPadOS), every MAILA system can be quickly, easily and precisely adjusted and wirelessly supplied with software updates. Once connected, the app automatically recognises the existing 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 logo of the MAILA SPA.
