A Real Acoustic Cajon and Roland Sound Module in One

With its built-in Roland sound module and independent head and edge sensors` the EC-10 extends the cajon’s organic simplicity to open new dimensions of expression for any musical style. Spice up singer/songwriter and combo gigs with layered tambourine or djembe` add backbeats with an acoustic or TR-808 snare` or bring in some low-end thump with an electronic kick. Studio-optimized cajon sounds are also on hand to enhance the acoustic cajon voice for more depth` dimension` and punch.
Easy to Operate While Performing
The top-mounted sound controls on the EC-10 are designed for quick access and easy operation while playing. Dedicated buttons are used to scroll through sound categories` while neighboring buttons allow you to select a number of variations within a category. After that` just twist the rear-panel Volume knob to control the level of the layered sound` and use the Trigger Balance knob to adjust the balance between the head and edge sounds. You can also tweak the trigger sensitivity for your personal style and touch.
Self-Contained and Battery-Powered
Part of the cajon’s enormous appeal is that it’s self-contained and uncomplicated. While the EC-10 contains high-tech electronics` it fully maintains the organic` go-anywhere vibe that cajon players love. The integrated amp and coaxial speaker provide high-quality sound for keeping up with acoustic guitar amps and other instruments` and six AA batteries deliver up to 12 hours of power for long jams anywhere. There’s also a handy input for playing music from a smartphone or song player at home or on the gig. And because the EC-10 is a true acoustic instrument` you can always turn off the electronics and play it like any regular cajon. On top of that` it even functions as an extra seat in a music room or family space when you’re not playing!
