I just got one last week and so far 100% happy and highly recommend this for clear sound. Much more pro sounding than any other one I have owned and tried

I wish these were sold in Toronto; I'd buy em in an instant!! Great video as always!!

I have the original 5. I wish I had bought the Go. Nice review.

As I have said in other forums... your review of these is what gave me the confidence to get these without getting to really hear them in the wild. They have blown me away... and have made such an impact of my partners that we are considering a larger investment in 1 or 2 more... great review and thanks as always for your efforts.... not i just have to get him on the IEM train... may go cheap at first and get into something better later.

Damien Cross also this gig log video I dive into a bit more detail on use at an actual ceremony. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qYWfr8uCerLYipc.html

Had the Go since June this year, and love it. The only weakness is lack of onboard FX. A simple reverb, controllable in the mic and guitar inputs, would be good. (Much like Yamaha do with their Stagepas gear). So, I have to use a small reverb (Zoom) pedal for my acoustic guitar and another reverb (Mic Mechanic) for my mic. Not a big problem, but an easy one to rectify if they wanted to. The sound is great. I always feel like I've filled the whole room with sound, and I'm just on guitar and vocals. I use it on power because I don't want to trust the battery. Okay, tell you what... next gig, I'll run it on battery (with a lead in my bag, just in case). So, I'll be running guitar, mic, stomp (kick) box and MP3 tracks during breaks. Wish me luck.

Hey. best review of this product! thanks so much! Question about using this unit with wireless mics? is it bluetooth compatible with multiple mics or can I plug 2 x transmitters into this unit?

@djlouparis

3 жыл бұрын

You can plug two receivers into this since you have a combo jack and a 1/4 - Instrument input. Although I do not use mine in this capacity since really you typically need more control over mics as a whole (I use a digital mixer for that). The Bluetooth side is not technically for the mics, although I suppose with the right kit it could be technically used. But I would not advise on that. And as a 99.9% rule of thumb, you would not want to deal with Bluetooth or 2.4GHz mic units in a critical environment. Looks towards 470-608MHz spectrum mics.

Awesome review!! What do you use to get wireless signal to them?

I would not use these as main source of sound for such a large wedding unless I was not doing dance. Ceremony, cocktail, dinner 4 could fill the room enough. But I would not use these for a dance segment short of a small wedding (even then I would go with 1-2 EV50s which I have for small events anyways).

Very insightful thank you. Looks like a great package just a shame it's missing the reverb that the JBL ONE Pro has though that's heavier than the Maui Go at 12kg v 17kg. Re. The balance, it should come with built in foldable feet or a cust made frame like the carry bags. Thanks for sharing

I use the JBL EON ONE rolling transport cases for these. Holds the sub and columns with extra battery. I can just roll wherever I want. I use the Maui 5 Gos in every application. I have 4, so if I really need firepower for a larger room, I just use all 4. If you are cranking them full on, a battery will get you around 3.5 hours and you'll need to swap. As far as protection mode, they have fixed this problem with the current generation. It comes right back on the second it detects a signal. I have personally tested this. Hope this is helpful.

as soon as you add more than 2 L and R speakers you start having very obvious comb filtering and misalignment effects in the room, especially in spots where projections of the speakers collide the most. Average listeners will not be able to tell you if there's anything wrong with the sound, but as soon as you fix the issues the change is obvious to anyone. So unless you have a processor or a digital mixer that allows you to run the speakers on separate output channels with different delay settings, I wouldn't recommend this approach.

Thanks again for sharing your knowledge, I have a question if I may is there a way for the Weddings Videographer to plug in to get the sound from the M5G I use the small Yamaha mixer with e M5G

@djlouparis

4 жыл бұрын

Richard Ortiz so there are a couple ways to provide an out for the videographer. First with the MG series mixer if I am not mistaken you have a combo of XLR and 1/4 out. You can use all the outs simultaneously so you can let the videographer hang a recorder off the mixer. Or you could use the “thru” output on the Maui for the same thing.

I already have the original Maui 5 with no output. If I purchased a Maui 5 Go, could I connect the two of them by going out of the 'Go' into the XLR mic input on the original Maui? If not, what about the other inputs? Thank you.

If they need louder for ceremony or cocktail they either have much larger crowds than I or they are playing way louder than what the occasion intends for.

Are the best sounding in the portable battery class? No I would give the EVERSE8 the title for that. But for me I do not want speaker stands in my setup, so the 5Go is the best option IMO.

For those planning on buying the model without battery power, there is no line OUT! I was only able to find specs on the Go and assumed both models had the same functions?
