Via the free MAILA app (iPadOS), every MAILA system can be customised and supplied with software updates wirelessly. Once connected, the app automatically recognises the existing MAILA components and enables the system to be set up optimally in the run-up to an event. When developing the MAILA app, a great focus was put on the intuitive user experience. Every function of the app makes handling the MAILA system noticeably easier. Plan your system in any place With the MAILA app, you can easily assemble and set up your MAILA system in the run-up to an event. Drag and drop the required modules into the virtual stage area grid, adjust EQ, level and more to the location and save your configuration for later - done! All functions in real-time access The MAILA app mirrors all speaker DSP functions in real time, so you can configure MAILA anywhere - even when the system is flown and hard to reach. To protect your setup from unauthorised access, you can also lock the MAILA system via the app. Perfect sound with few parameters How many satellites does your MAILA system have? At what height are they located? How far in the room does the audience stand? The MAILA room simulation calculates the required angles of the SAT modules and automatically adjusts the EQs of the individual systems to optimally cover your audience with sound. It couldn't be simpler. All frequencies under control With the MAILA app's 10-band EQ, you can adjust the overall sound of any MAILA system to suit your needs. Each individual band offers full parametrics with frequency, Q-factor and gain. You always have direct access to the most important settings via storable presets. Delay Lines If you are working with delay lines in larger rooms, you only need to enter the distance to the main PA and the room temperature in the MAILA app. The MAILA APP calculates the delay time and makes all necessary DSP settings automatically. LogoLink® The specially developed LogoLink® technology ensures the wireless connection between the MAILA system and the MAILA app. The highlight: the wireless antennas are invisibly integrated into the LD logo of the MAILA modules. Autoconnect & Sync In response to your feedback, we've added an Autoconnect & Sync feature. When the app has detected devices, you will now be prompted, 'Would you like to auto connect online devices with your stage devices?'. Choose between NO, YES, or SYNC to auto connect and synchronize devices to your saved stage settings. Gone are the days of manually connecting and synchronizing each device to the stage settings - you can now reconnect your devices automatically, saving you time and effort. Import & Share Stages Sharing your stage setup has never been easier. Simply tap on the 'Import/Export Stage' button and you will be prompted, 'Do you want to import a stage configuration or share the current stage?'. Choose 'Import Stage' to bring in a stage setup, or 'Export stage' to save and share your current setup. About MAILA MAILA (Modular All-Round Intelligent Line-Array) is not just "a" product, but a scalable sound reinforcement system that sets new standards in its diversity and flexibility. From a wedding reception to a conference to a festival - MAILA combines the best concepts in sound reinforcement technology in one system.

A quick listen into your audio network. GTA CUE brings local network audio metering and listening to your iPhone and iPad. Select a compatible Dante-network source, choose a channel, check its level and tap CUE to listen. SINGLE CUE OR AN EIGHT-INPUT MIX Use Single CUE for a quick channel check, or enable Cue Mix in Options to combine up to eight inputs into a local stereo monitor mix. Choose sources and channels on the detail pages, adjust each input's trim and pan, and use Mute, Solo and channel-pair links. Four memories store assignments and controls for quick recall. Your monitor controls do not change the transmitter's audio. CUE MIX REQUIRES ETHERNET Connect a compatible iPhone or iPad Ethernet adapter to the audio network. Cue Mix offers wired Ethernet interfaces only and does not switch to Wi-Fi if the cable is disconnected. Single CUE also supports Wi-Fi through an access point connected to the audio network; congestion and packet loss can interrupt wireless audio. Bluetooth listening adds a separate output delay. LOCAL CUE SHARING Compatible GTA CUE devices on the same local network can share an available audio feed. Settings > Network > CUE Sharing shows the audio path and connected peers. Transmitter capacity and available feeds still apply. Keep a supplying device connected. Active CUE listening on iPhone and iPad can continue in the background or while locked; a silent standby does not remain available in the background. Quitting the supplying app or disconnecting its network can interrupt listeners. Restore the supplying device and reconnect when needed. YOUR LOOK, YOUR METERS Choose the dark Slate theme or the light console-inspired The Hive, with customizable knobs and meters. Use segmented RMS or analog-style metering, optional outside meters and Pre Trim/Post Trim measurement. Printed analog-face numbers are decorative. The iPad shows network, sample-rate and bit-depth information in landscape as well as portrait. YOUR CONNECTION Choose your network adapter and match the source with manual 44.1, 48, 96 or 192 kHz selection. Receive supported 24-bit or 32-bit signed-integer PCM streams. Inspect packet and playback diagnostics, and optionally scan a reachable IPv4 range for compatible sources. LOCAL BY DESIGN Audio decoding, metering and playback run locally. No account, ads, analytics SDK or developer-operated cloud audio service is required. A clearly labeled, silent Demo Mode lets you explore the controls without a transmitter. BEFORE YOU BUY Real metering and listening require a compatible transmitter and access to its local network. Supported formats and capacity depend on the transmitter and configuration; selectable sample rates do not guarantee support from every source. Start CUE playback from a compatible external source. Active listening can continue while the app is in the background or the device is locked. A silent standby does not stay available in the background. Output-route changes mute listening. There is no AVB or PTP-locked output. Monitor protection is not calibrated hearing protection; set output volume appropriately. By GIFFTRIPPAUDIO.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: MAILA at Free against GTA CUE's $19.99. MAILA also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). GTA CUE's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 weeks) and chart position (#195 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
