Buzz Bin - LD Systems

Maui 5 Go 100

IN THE SAME funny way guitarists have an urge to check out another player’s live rig at a show, I’ve been doing the same — albeit for portable PAs. With soundmen becoming increasingly scarce, many performers have had to rely on themselves to provide sound for their shows. So, naturally, I’ve been paying a great deal of attention to what other players are using in this space. Granted, I’ve been focused on smaller line array PA systems, mostly because they’re easy to set up, portable and generally get the job done with decent encompassing sound. Admittedly, compared to other brands, I wasn’t familiar with LD Systems’ vast amount of pro audio products for musicians and touring professionals, so when I was given the chance to review their battery-powered Maui 5 Go 100 all-in-one column PA system that can furnish “loud and clear” sound for up to 100 people, I couldn’t resist.
