EAD (Electronic Acoustic Drum) is Yamaha’s unique system that brings electronic expandability to acoustic drums. By simply attaching a dedicated sensor containing two microphone capsules and a trigger to your bass drum, you can capture the sound of your entire kit in high- quality stereo and combine it with built-in effects and sound sources for greater expression.
The EAD50 is the latest high-end model and takes the EAD concept even further. It captures and processes your acoustic sound with refined precision, merging it seamlessly with electronic sources to create a true hybrid drumming experience. With real-time control and intuitive operation, drummers can easily shape their own sound in professional quality as they play—on stage, in the studio, during lessons, rehearsals or while streaming. From professionals to advanced amateurs, EAD50 empowers every drummer to achieve their ideal sound.
EXPAND YOUR ACTIVITIES AND ENJOYMENT
Capture multitrack audio via USB, sample or loop your own playing, and connect wirelessly through Bluetooth to work seamlessly with the EAD Touch App and Rec’n’Share. It supports not only live PA operation, but also home practice, online lessons, studio recording, social media content creation, workshops, and seminars with equal flexibility.
The EAD50’s studio-grade preamp and advanced digital engine refine these signals into a clear, powerful mix that fits any PA environment. By integrating additional microphones, triggers, effects, mixer functions, and more into one compact unit, the EAD50 dramatically reduces setup complexity and gives drummers stable, reliable control over their sound.
The DSU50’s high-quality condenser microphone with custom matched-pair capsules and FET, combined with its high-precision kick trigger, captures your entire kit from a single point with clean stereo imaging and accurate low-end articulation.
