Roland EC-10M ELCajon Mic Processor

Microphone Processor
for Cajon Roland’s ‘EC-10M’ Cajon Mic Processor is a versatile tool designed with the acoustic cajon in mind. It was designed primarily to pick up the natural warmth of the cajon’s acoustic tones with the included clip-on condenser mic, this is also used to trigger a multitude of built-in tones for use when layering the cajons natural sound.

Boasting 16 sound-kit variations, a multitude of control knobs for the compressor such as threshold and volume, and numerous I/O such as 1/4” TRS and 1/8” mini-jack, Roland’s ‘EC-10M’ mic processor is also able to create percussion phrases with the integrated looper function. This enables you to play additional sounds via the A/B foot pads or optional kick-trigger pedals.

Alongside all of this, you can send the sounds from the EC-10M to an external amp or PA rig, which hands you complete control over your onstage sound. The EC-10M transforms the acoustic cajon experience with a world of new expressive power. It’s possible to operate on four AAA-size batteries (for up to five hours) or with the included power supply.

16 preset kitsThe EC-10M applies a distinct instrument sound to the center of an acoustic cajon’s playing plate, while another separate sound is applied to the top edge. Each of the EC-10M’s 16 preset kits include 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 allowing you to trigger cowbell, foot splash or even four-on-the-floor kick drum patterns.

Record Percussion Phrases and Play AlongThe EC-10M includes a built-in looper for the on-board electronic layered sounds. This lets you create instant percussive loops and phrases, freeing you up to play the acoustic cajon over the top. The looper is controlled using the A/B foot pads making it easy to control while you play. Any electronic sounds triggered from the cajon and external pedals can be included in your loops.

If you change the preset kit sound while the loop is playing, the tones in the loop are changed too. Acoustic cajon performances can be transformed, once you start to incorporate loops into your set.
