KEY FEATURES
The Sensor Unit
| The sensor unit of the EAD10 comprises a specially developed XY stereo microphone sensor and trigger sensors, allowing you to capture a balanced recording of the sound of the entire kit by placing this at the center of the kit itself. The microphone capsule is a newly developed microphone that comes equipped with the ultra-high sound pressure resistance and strong noise resistance suitable for recording drums. The entire sensor unit, including the grill that covers the microphone capsule, incorporates an acoustical design that allows for the adjustment of directivity and frequency characteristics. The preamplifier is equipped with custom parts, and the mic itself is designed to draw out the maximum dynamic range of a drum kit while achieving the balance ideal for recording, allowing for clear and dynamic sounds. Additionally, the range of sounds that can be created has been greatly expanded by using the trigger sensor to combine bass drum sounds with a PCM sound source. |
The Main Unit
| The left side of the main unit comes equipped with large knobs that can easily be adjusted mid-performance, so that the main control functions like volume and preset scene can be accessed easily. LED indicators have been added to the preset scene controls of reverb, effect, and trigger to make them more visible. This allows for understanding of current settings as well as quick and intuitive adjustment on even the darkest of stages. The buttons and LCD display on the right allow for even more detailed adjustments. Additionally, a high-performance headphone amplifier was also developed specifically for this unit, and delivers power and performance that cannot be outdone by the dynamic sounds of acoustic drums. It also comes equipped with 50 preset/200 user Scenes and many high-quality effects and PCM sound sources used in Yamaha electronic musical instruments. Furthermore, by using the trigger sensing technology from electronic drums, it creates added value for acoustic drums, making them into a completely new musical instrument. |
Connect With Smart Device/ App
| EAD10 can be played with your favorite music on smart devices* via AUX cable or USB cable connections. In addition, by using the Android/iOS App “Rec'n'Share," you can practice by adding a metronome to your favorite music, record audio, record video, edit, and upload to SNS, etc. |
Add Trigger & Pad
| EAD10 can connect to a maximum of 6 triggers and pads including the bass drum trigger of the sensor unit. Percussion sounds, electronic sounds, and loops, among other things, can be incorporated to expand the range of expression. |
