Yamaha Y DS U50 Xxx

The DSU50 captures your acoustic drums with natural depth and clarity

The Yamaha DSU50 is uniquely engineered to reproduce the true sound of your acoustic kit. Mounted directly to the bass drum hoop and positioned to face the player, it delivers a clear, wide stereo image of the entire kit—without complicated mic placement or multiple stands.

A single DSU50 provides a clean, full sound for rehearsals, live shows, recording, monitoring, or streaming. Need more detail? Adding a second DSU50 expands the stereo field, enhancing cymbal clarity and room ambience—without the hassle of close-miking every drum.

Professional sound. Minimal setup. The DSU50 redefines what drum miking can be.

Note: The DSU50 is included with the EAD50 bundle but is also available separately.

Better Sound. Greater Expression.

The DSU50 sensor unit is engineered specifically for acoustic drums, combining Yamaha’s decades of acoustic expertise with advanced sensing technology. Each component is carefully voiced under Yamaha’s sound direction and refined with input from a respected recording engineer known for his work with leading artists.

Its custom matched-pair condenser capsules, arranged in an XY configuration, are tuned for the complex dynamics of drums. They deliver a natural, balanced stereo sound that captures both power and subtle detail.

Inside the housing, the microphone and sensor sections are physically isolated in a low-noise structure that reduces vibration and mechanical interference, ensuring clean, stable stereo performance in a wide range of environments.

The newly developed trigger sensor accurately detects the bass-drum attack, making expressive hybrid performance possible when paired with the EAD50.

With depth, clarity and musical nuance in every stroke, the DSU50 provides a sensor system that supports a natural, expressive playing experience for every drummer.
