Roland EC-10M ELCajon Mic Processor

Description
You can then send both sounds to an amp or PA, giving you complete control over your stage sound. It’s also possible to create percussion phrases with a built-in looper, and play additional sounds via integrated A/B footpads or optional kick trigger pedals and pads. Everywhere you play, the EC-10M transforms the acoustic cajon experience with a world of new expressive power.
With the EC-10M, it’s easy to 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.
Add Variety and Play With Authentic Cajon Techniques
The EC-10M intelligently senses when the mic is picking up sounds from the head and edge surfaces on the cajon, giving you the ability to trigger distinctly different 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.
Trigger Extra Sounds With Foot Pads or Optional Pedals
In each of the 16 kits within the EC-10M, two different sounds are 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.*
Light, Compact, and Battery-Powered
You can use the compact EC-10M anywhere, since it weighs just 500 g/1.1 lbs. 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.
Amplify Your Acoustic Cajon and EC-10M Layered Sounds
In addition to being a sound module for electronic sounds, the EC-10M also 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. You can send the sounds to two independent outputs, or mix them together to one. With the EC-10M, it’s simple to achieve a powerful, consistent cajon sound at every gig, from intimate street performances to the biggest concert stages.
Record Percussion Phrases and Play Along
The EC-10M includes a built-in looper* for the electronic layered sounds. This 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/pads in your loops. And by changing the kits while the loop is playing, the tones in the loop are changed too. With this cool creative option, your acoustic cajon performances will be transformed forever.

EC-10m COUID hav been awsum, built too cheap

Hooked it up and immediately realized how poorly manufactured it was. Has a 1/8" mic input!?!?!? And it's nearly a joke. If you barely tap the mic cable at the pedals input it pops and sometimes even thinks you hit the drum and plays a beat. It really does have some nice sounds and has a ton of potential. All it needs is an actual mic/XLR input. Or atleast a 1/4". Not sure why they made something with so much potential so cheap and fragile. But if you buy one. Reinforce the mic cable with gaff tape OR buy a 1/4" female to 1/8" male adapter and just permanently attach it to the pedal. Gaff tape works great like always. Or a XLR female to 1/8" male adapter. All the advice I've got. Awesome idea but poorly thought executed
I might just need more time to learn how to use it properly

At base, I *love* this device. I hope that it will allow me to substitute a cajon for my drum kit: to be able to play in very tight spaces with a lightweight, easily transportable instrument, but yet have access to the sounds of cymbals and cross-sticks and cowbells and more. Four stars instead of five because I'm not there yet. I've only been playing with this new device for about a week and I have not yet figured out how to reliably trigger the sound I want, nothing more and nothing less. I do expect it to happen, but there's definitely a learning curve. I should probably add that I'm a beginner at cajon playing in general, too.
Very disappointed

When I first hooked it up there was HORRIBLE static and found it to be the microphone plug in. I had to blow that out and it seemed to work fine. The must annoying thing about this is the trigger would have the wrong sound. It struggled to pick up the correct frequencies. I adjusted everything from the module to the snares on my cajon (meinl makah burl). The Roland El cajon with built in speaker is your better bet for live settings. I quickly turned this.
So far I love it. Will actually get a chance to gig with it
