The EC-10M is a must have for any Cajon player. This totally new and unique foot pedal unit combines both microphone sound reinforcement and electronic sound triggering/layering by simply clipping the included high quality condenser microphone onto the sound port of the Cajon.
The microphone section is designed to capture the complete sound of the acoustic Cajon with great bottom and top-end clarity and includes a compressor for improving and controlling consistency in sound. The electronic section cleverly senses the mic frequency and splits the triggering into low and high trigger zones allowing up to 16 different internal sound layers to be triggered from a typical acoustic Cajon low thump and high rim hit.
Electronic internal sounds range from 'element' style sound enhancements to practical sounds like tambourines and claves through to totally distorted electronic kick and snare sounds. The two front panel switches act as foot triggers while the mode switch allows access to a phrase looper for instant performance fun.
There's adjustment for the high and low crossover frequencies and even a dual trigger input for adding up to two external triggers such as the Roland KT-9 kick trigger or BT-1 bar trigger. Two outputs deliver the mic/mixed sound and electronic sounds for the ultimate live Cajon sound.
