Drummers, meet your new best friend. This is the Yamaha EAD50 Electronic Acoustic Drum Microphone System, a set including an EAD50 controller and DSU50 stereo condenser microphone to capture and express your kit with articulate simplicity. Perfect for live drummers who want to blend triggers into their acoustic sound, great for easy setups when recording, and excellent for content creators making multi-track demos with video sync, the real question is "what can't the EAD50 do"?

Let's start with the DSU50 microphone, a XY stereo positioned condenser that is designed specifically to capture the intricate qualities and timbres of an acoustic kit. This powerful tool hears all aspects of the drums, from toms to cymbals and every powerful beat in between, to produce a broad but detailed vision of the kit being played. When plugged into the EAD50 module, the source captured by the microphone is processed into a balanced and naturalistic overview of the kit, layered with on-board samples to emphasize and keep hits consistent. In addition, the DSU50 microphone can act as a kick trigger to enhance the consistency offered by the EAD50 algorithm. If more acoustic captures are needed, the EAD50 features five mic inputs to provide the module with additional details to form its incomparable composition. Going further, the module includes ten trigger ins for electronic sources to expand the kits capabilities and get more consistency out of toms and snares, taken even further with USB trigger link for wider possibilities.

Now, it's time for the EAD50, the new heart for all drumming applications—a module that captures and sums acoustic signals with high-quality PCM sounds to produce consistent, powerful tones that are gig and record ready with the push of a button. Adjustable with the push controls and LCD display, these sounds can be loaded with presets or fine-tuned for unique tonal suites, letting the drummer craft the perfect kit for any application. The rotary faders found towards the bottom of the unit control the mic and trigger parameters, with options for mixer, pan, EQ, compressing, built-in effects, and more for dialing in the perfect tone. In addition, six modifier knobs found above allow for programming specific parameters for on the fly, mid performance adjustments. Without spoiling the fun of exploration, the EAD50 also includes sampling features to capture and reuse kit sounds, and contains a looper to play over phrases when writing, recording, or performing. There's a whole lot more the EAD50 can do for a wide array of drummers, and the creative applications are endless for the new generation of groove setters.

Equipped with a balanced pair of XLR outputs, eight individual outs for drum and trigger isolation, USB out to capture trigger channels and audio paths, Bluetooth audio and MIDI, "Rec'n'Share" capabilities for synced audio and video creation, Cubase AI integration for building complete production setups, and an SD card slot for playing tracks, it's no wonder the EAD50 has been utilized already in many live, recording, teaching, and content creation scenarios. Capture your drums the right way with the Yamaha EAD50 Electronic Acoustic Drum Microphone System.
