KEY FEATURES:
The Sensor Unit 
The sensor unit of the EAD10 comprises a specially developed XY stereo microphone sensor and trigger sensors. This allows 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 EAD10 has achieved both simplicity and quality by combining the technologies that could only be developed by a comprehensive manufacturer well versed in both the characteristics of instruments and microphones.

The buttons and LCD display on the right allow for even more detailed adjustments.
