USER GUIDE

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This app is intended exclusively for use together with the components of the LD MAILA series. This quick guide does not replace the operating instructions of the associated product. Always read the corresponding operating instructions first.

This app has no influence on the intended use of the associated product.
Observe the safety instructions from the user manual of the associated product!

ATTENTION, HIGH VOLUME AUDIO PRODUCTS!

This app and the associated products are intended for professional use. Commercial operation is subject to the applicable national regulations and guidelines for accident prevention. Hearing damage due to high volume and continuous exposure: Use of this app and associated products may generate high sound pressure levels (SPL) that may cause hearing damage. Avoid exposure to high volumes.

The appearance of the individual menu items may vary slightly depending on the software version.

The MAILA App is mainly designed to configure a MAILA system BEFORE an event! After configuring the system, deactivate Bluetooth in the MAILA devices via the app! On the one hand, this measure prevents third-party access to the system and, on the other hand, it cannot be guaranteed that a stable connection is guaranteed during an event (mobile phone radiation, radio microphones, W-DMX™ etc.).

In addition, the PIN can also be entered directly on the devices to unlock them again.

STAGE

SPLAY ANGLES

With the help of the MAILA app, you can easily calculate the splay angles of the satellites for your requirements and then set them manually. To do this, tap on the desired device to highlight it and then on SPLAY ANGLES.

STAGE

Set the desired number of satellites here 1 (is automatically detected for online units if ON is set under SATELLITES in the AUTO DETECT menu item of the unit.). Use the left slider 2 to set the height of the bottom edge of the lowest satellite measured from the audience floor and the lower slider 3 to set the distance from the MAILA to the back row of the audience. On the right side you will now get the optimal splay angles for each satellite. Finally, you only have to adjust these values to the satellites by turning the corresponding handle.

If you are flying the columns (or SPA) and satellites, tap FLYING 4 and set the height 2 to the top of the uppermost satellite measured from the audience floor. In addition, the optimum hanging point for the EasyMount MAILA TMB flying bracket is now displayed under PICKUP POINT and the total weight of one column (or SPA) plus satellites under RIGGING WEIGHT. Use the SEATED switch 5 to set the audience to standing or seated. The intelligent equalizer AUTO EQ 6 automatically equalizes the system according to the number of satellites (SATELLITE QUANTITY) used and the specifications under SATELLITE HEIGHT or RIGGING HEIGHT, AUDIENCE COVERAGE and SEATED. If automatic equalization is not desired, it can be deactivated. The AUTO EQ works independently of the fully parametric 10-band equalizer.

STAGE

PRESET
