The Roland EC-10M El Cajon Mic Processor SEO Titlefrom Roland EC-10M El Cajon Mic Processor SEO Titleis a creative tool designed for the acoustic cajon. It can be used to pick up the cajon's acoustic sound with the included clip-on condenser mic, which is also used to trigger a variety of onboard tones for layering with the cajons acoustic sound.

Featuring sixteen sound-kit variations, various control knobs for the compressor such as threshold and volume, and multiple inputs such as 1/4" TRS and 1/8" mini-jack, the EC-10M mic processor can also create percussion phrases with the built-in looper. This lets you play additional sounds via integrated A/B foot pads or optional kick-trigger pedals.

Furthermore, you can send the sounds from the unit to an amp or a PA system, which gives you complete control over your stage sound. The EC-10M transforms the acoustic cajon experience with a world of new expressive power. It can operate on four AAA-size batteries (for up to five hours) or with the included power supply.

With the EC-10M, take your acoustic cajon performances to new heights. Just attach the dedicated clip-on mic to the instrument's sound hole, and then layer EC-10M tones with the acoustic voice to create unique hybrid sounds. The 16 kit variations include percussion sounds such as tambourine, surdo, splash cymbal, and many others, plus acoustic snare drum and the famous TR-808 snare. Built-in cajon tones with ambience are also included for reinforcing your acoustic cajon's natural voice with powerful studio sound

The EC-10M senses when the mic is picking up sounds from the head and edge surfaces on the cajon, giving you the ability to trigger electronic sounds with each of these areas. This lets you integrate EC-10M sounds using authentic cajon techniques, so you don't have to adjust your playing in any way

In addition to head and edge sounds, each of the 16 kits within the EC-10M includes two electronic sounds that are pre-assigned to the onboard A/B foot pads for triggering with toe taps while performing. If you'd prefer to play these sounds with authentic foot techniques and a more solid feel, up to two Roland kick trigger pedals (KT-10, KT-9, or KD-7) can be connected

You can use the compact EC-10M anywhere, since it weighs just 1.1 pounds and runs on four AAA batteries. The included clip-on condenser mic is compact and convenient, eliminating the need to take up valuable stage space with a mic stand and large microphone. With its small footprint, the EC-10M is an easy fit in the tightest performing spaces

Along with being a sound module for electronic sounds, the EC-10M functions as a mic preamp for the clip-on mic, enabling you to amplify both the acoustic cajon and layered sounds through an amp or PA

A built-in looper for the electronic layered sounds lets you create instant percussive backing for acoustic cajon playing or jamming with another instrument. The looper is controlled using the A/B foot pads, and you can capture electronic sounds triggered from the cajon and external pedals in your loops. And by changing the kits while the loop is playing, the tones in the loop are changed, too
