Description
The EAD50 is a high-spec Electronic Acoustic Drum Module that expands the concept of the EAD10, and can be used in settings ranging from home to the stage. The EAD50 also integrates drum-related equipment such as a mixer, effects, and drum tone generator module into a single unit. Drummers can now customize their sound freely and expand their range of expression. In addition, the EAD50 supports a variety of needs, including live performance, video streaming, home recording, and online lessons. Its simple setup and easy connectivity expand the possibilities in both performance environments and enjoyment. The main unit is equipped with five microphone inputs, ten trigger inputs, a drum tone generator, individual outputs, and USB multichannel output. With a single EAD50, drummers can achieve a streamlined drum PA setup that meets professional standards.
The new DSU50 Drum Sensor Unit enables higher-quality sound capture. The sensor unit uses a pair of custom microphones that capture the entire drum set from a single position. These use technology normally found in high-end studio mics, giving you a clean, accurate drum sound while reducing the sound of the room which is normally picked up by traditional drum microphones. Compared with conventional drum miking that requires many microphones and cables, the EAD50 uses a simple setup in which the sensor unit is attached to the bass drum hoop to capture the entire drum kit in high quality. Because sound checks for each microphone are unnecessary, setup time is significantly reduced.
The EAD50 takes the audio from the sensor unit and processes for use with PAs or recording setups. You can blend the natural mic sound with samples, and add effects to create the tone you want. You can use the presets to get started or customise everything depending on your knowledge.
Works with various apps and functions to offer new ways to enjoy drumming
The EAD50 supports various apps and offers a wide range of enjoyment beyond live performance. Drummers can play along with music from smartphones and tablets via Bluetooth, or use audio sources stored on USB memory or SD cards. By using the "EAD Touch" and "Rec'n'Share" apps and connecting a smart device to the instrument, users can practice easily, as well as record, edit, and share their performances. The EAD50 also supports a conversation microphone, improving the quality of online lessons and drum seminars.
Because everything is done in one box, setup is quick, simple and fully repeatable. Your sound stays the same every time you play.
From small clubs to large stages, the EAD50 changes how drum miking works. It's an easy, reliable way to get a great drum sound anywhere.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
