YAMAHA EAD50 Drum Module with a DSU50 Mic Trigger Sensor
A well-miked acoustic drum set is a glorious thing, but to put it mildly, setting up all those mics can be time-consuming. That's why drummers and audio engineers alike are raving about Yamaha's EAD50 drum microphone system. By using the DSU50 stereo condenser mic alongside the EAD50 mixer, you now have a fast, efficient, and superb-sounding solution for not only miking your acoustic drums but also augmenting them with more than 2,300 sounds and over 250 digital effects — all powered by the SWX100 sound chip. These sounds and effects are a complete walk in the park to select and edit, since the EAD50 sports integrated LED rotary faders and Yamaha's famous Kit Modifier knobs, and can also be controlled via the free EAD Touch app on your iOS/Android device.
Expanded connectivity adorns the EAD50 in the form of five XLR inputs and 10 triggers (with five splittable), which can all be routed to eight 1/4-inch balanced outputs and two XLR balanced outputs to suit a broad range of situations for performing, recording, and practicing (and gigging drummers will absolutely love the stereo mini connector for their in-ear monitors). The EAD50 is simply a boon to have on hand when creativity strikes, thanks to its Looper and Sampler functions that enable you to hone your ideas to perfection, and the onboard Bluetooth, SD card slot, and Yamaha's Rec'N'Share app let you add external audio and easily capture your ideas for sharing and collaborating.
The EAD50 also utilizes MIDI Out and USB connections for more standard computer-based setups, and it includes a free download of Steinberg Cubase AI. Finally, with custom Live Set recall capabilities, the Yamaha EAD50 helps you retain your dialed-in drum sounds, tempos, and audio files with the press of a button.
