Miking a drum kit has historically been an exercise in patience, cable management, and at least one mild existential crisis. The Yamaha EAD50 fixes that. Combining microphones, mixers, and professional-grade signal routing into one streamlined system, it cuts through the clutter without cutting corners on sound quality.
Powered by the SWX100 sound chip and paired with the redesigned DSU50 stereo sensor unit, the EAD50 is built for drummers who want to record, perform, and practice at a professional level.
A Setup That Finally Makes Sense
Setting up drum mics used to mean cable runs, multiple preamps, and a soundcheck that outlasted the actual show. The EAD50 consolidates all that into a single, cohesive system that clips onto your bass drum hoop and gets out of your way. From bedroom sessions to full stage rigs, getting a great drum sound starts the moment you plug in.
DSU50 Stereo Sensor Unit: Attaches to virtually any acoustic bass drum hoop — or mounts to a standard 3/8-inch threaded stand — capturing a high-quality stereo image of your entire kit with a built-in dedicated kick trigger for perfectly synced sample layering.
5 XLR/TRS Combo Inputs: Add additional microphones and audio gear across five combo inputs, giving you the flexibility to mic any drum configuration without running out of options mid-session.
8 Individual + 2 XLR Balanced Outputs: Route your signals exactly where they need to go, with eight 1/4-inch balanced outputs and two XLR balanced outputs designed to handle everything from small studios to large stages.
Performance Controls Built for the Moment
Nobody wants to dig through five menus to tweak reverb between songs. The EAD50 puts the controls you actually need front and center, so your hands stay on the sticks and your focus stays on the music. Its LED rotary faders, assignable Kit Modifier knobs, and free EAD Touch App make real-time adjustments fast, intuitive, and borderline enjoyable.
LED Rotary Faders & Kit Modifier Knobs: Adjust gain, reverb, and effects on the fly with tactile, clearly visible controls that respond the moment you need them to — no menus required.
Live Set Functionality: Build ordered setlists of scenes, tempos, and audio files, then recall them instantly with a single button press or foot switch tap for seamless live transitions.
Free EAD Touch App (iOS/Android): Navigate, edit, and manage your module settings from your phone or tablet, making the EAD50 feel less like a piece of gear and more like a well-organized creative partner.
Creative Firepower for Every Drummer
The EAD50 isn't just a mic system with a few tricks — it's a full creative platform packed with tools that used to live exclusively on professional mixing boards. With over 2,317 sounds, 252 digital effects, looper and sampler capabilities, and Bluetooth connectivity, it opens up a serious amount of creative territory for drummers who want more than just a clean recording.
2,317 Sounds + 252 Digital Effects: Choose from 250 scenes (including 70 preset kits and 200 user kits) and a massive library of voices and effects, covering everything from subtle room ambience to full production-ready drum tones.
Looper, Sampler & SD Card Playback: Layer samples in real time, build loops on the fly, and play backing tracks directly from an SD card — no laptop required, no excuses needed.
Bluetooth + USB Audio Interface: Connect wirelessly to your smartphone for the Rec'n'Share app, or use the 8in/10out USB Audio Interface for multitrack recording straight into your DAW of choice.
The EAD50 Raises the Bar for Acoustic Drum Recording
The Yamaha EAD50 is a rare piece of gear that genuinely delivers on its promises. It strips away the complexity of traditional drum miking and replaces it with a system that's fast to set up, flexible enough for any environment, and powerful enough to satisfy drummers who take their sound seriously. From first rehearsal to final mix, the EAD50 is the kind of upgrade that makes you wonder how you ever managed without it.
