Roland EC-10M ElCajon Electronic Layered Mic Processor

Upgrade your acoustic cajon performances with the Roland EC-10M ElCajon Electronic Layered Mic Processor. This compact and battery-powered device is a game-changer for cajon players. It uses an included clip-on condenser mic to pick up the cajon's acoustic sound and trigger a range of onboard tones. Layer these tones with the acoustic voice and send both to an amp or PA for complete stage sound control. Create percussion phrases with the built-in looper and play extra sounds via foot pads or optional pedals. With 16 onboard kits featuring tambourine, shaker, djembe, and electronic drums, it adds new expressive power to your cajon. It's easy to set up, can amplify the cajon, and offers versatile outputs. You can power it with batteries or the included power supply.

Using the Roland EC-10M is a breeze. First, attach the included clip - on condenser mic to the sound hole of your acoustic cajon. Then you're ready to start playing. You can use the EC - 10M as a mic preamp to amplify the cajon's sound. To add different tones, there are 16 onboard kits. You can layer these tones with the natural cajon sound. Slap the edge or head of the cajon to play two different electronic sounds. You can connect up to two kick trigger pedals to play additional sounds, or use the integrated A/B foot pads. For creating loops, use the simple looper function to record rhythm phrases. You can send the microphone and layered sounds to a PA mixer via two independent outputs or mix them all to one mono output. When it comes to power, you can use four AAA - size batteries, which will last up to five hours, but note that the actual use time depends on battery specs, capacity, and usage conditions. Or you can use the included power supply. As for maintenance, keep the device clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. If you're using batteries, replace them when they run low to ensure consistent performance.
