What is EAD50?
EAD (Electronic Acoustic Drum) is Yamaha’s unique system that brings electronic expandability and convenience to acoustic drums. By simply attaching a dedicated sensor unit containing a special microphone and a trigger, you can capture the entire setup in high-quality stereo and combine it with built-in effects and sound sources for greater expression.
The latest model, EAD50, takes this concept even further. It captures and processes your acoustic sound with amazing precision, merging it seamlessly with electronic sources to create a true hybrid drumming experience. With real-time control and intuitive operation, drummers can shape their own sound as they play—on stage, in the studio, during lessons, while streaming or any other playing situation. EAD50 empowers drummers of all levels to create and perform with a broad palette of sounds.
The Simplest Drum PA Solution Ever
Drummers have always found it hard to keep their sound the same from venue to venue. Different rooms, engineers and stage setups can all change how the drums sound. With the EAD50 and its sensor unit(DSU50), you can bring your sound with you wherever you play.
The Sensor unit uses a pair of custom microphones that capture the entire drum set from a single position. These use technology normally found in high-end studio mics, giving you a clean, accurate drum sound while reducing the sound of the room which is normally picked up by traditional drum microphones.
The EAD50 takes the audio from the sensor unit and processes for use with PAs or recording setups. You can blend the natural mic sound with samples, and add effects to create the tone you want. You can use the presets to get started or customise everything depending on your knowledge.
Because everything is done in one box, setup is quick, simple and fully repeatable. Your sound stays the same every time you play.
From small clubs to large stages, the EAD50 changes how drum miking works. It’s an easy, reliable way to get a great drum sound anywhere.
