Roland EC-10 EL Cajon
Overview
The Roland EC-10 EL Cajon is a hybrid electronic-acoustic cajon that layers Roland's electronic percussion sounds over a genuine acoustic cajon body, creating an instrument that blends traditional cajon tone with modern electronic capabilities. The acoustic body is constructed from quality birch plywood with an adjustable snare wire system, producing authentic acoustic cajon tones with good bass depth and crisp snare response. The electronic layer adds Roland's acclaimed percussion sounds triggered by the built-in sensor system, which detects playing position and dynamics to layer electronic kicks, snares, hi-hats, and effects over the acoustic sound. Thirty onboard sound variations provide instant access to different combinations of electronic percussion sounds. The blend between acoustic and electronic elements is controlled by a simple knob, allowing players to go fully acoustic, fully electronic, or anywhere in between. A headphone output enables silent practice with the electronic sounds, while the main output sends the combined acoustic and electronic signal to a PA system. The battery-powered operation enables cordless performance anywhere. The compact dimensions and ergonomic design maintain comfortable playability. The EC-10 is ideal for contemporary worship musicians, singer-songwriter accompanists, and gigging percussionists who want the versatility of electronic sounds in an acoustic cajon format. The electronic components add weight compared to purely acoustic cajons, and the sensors require battery power.
