Roland EC-10 Electronic Layered Cajon - Secondhand

Full Description

Authentic Acoustic Cajon Sound with a Roland Sound Module

Thanks to its compact size and versatility, the cajon has become one of the most popular instruments for on-the-go percussion - from local jams to street busking, nightclub performances and beyond. With its built-in Roland sound module and independent head and edge sensors, the EC-10 extends the cajon's simplicity to open new dimensions of expression that complements 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.

Intuitive to Operate While Performing

The top-mounted sound controls have been designed for quick access and easy operation while playing. The EC-10 features dedicated buttons to scroll through the sound categories, while neighboring buttons allow you to select a number of variations within a category. Once set, simply 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.

Self-Contained and Battery-Powered

Part of the cajon's enormous appeal is that it's self-contained and uncomplicated. While the EC-10 EL Cajon contains high-tech electronics, it maintains the organic, go-anywhere vibe that cajon players love. The integrated amp and coaxial speaker provide high-quality sound that can easily keep up with acoustic guitar amps and other instruments. Additionally, six AA batteries can power the EC-10 for up to 12 hours, perfect for long jams anywhere.

There’s also a handy input for playing music from a smartphone or song player at home or at 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.
