DSU50 Stereo Condenser Microphone

The DSU50 uses a matched pair of condenser capsules in an XY stereo configuration to capture a wide, natural drum image. Designed specifically for acoustic drums, it delivers balanced sound from kick to cymbals while reducing vibration and mechanical noise.

Upgraded SWX100 Sound Engine

An enhanced sound engine provides detailed processing, dynamic response,e and access to thousands of sounds and effects. It ensures clean audio performance across practice, studio and stage environments.

Integrated Kick Trigger Output

A dedicated kick trigger converts bass drum hits into trigger signals, allowing electronic or sampled sounds to be layered accurately with acoustic playing for hybrid drum setups.

Expanded Inputs and Outputs

Five XLR microphone inputs support additional close mics, while five splittable trigger inputs allow connection of up to ten triggers. Multiple balanced 1/4-inch and XLR outputs provide flexible routing for front-of-house, monitors, and multitrack recording.

Mixer-Style Controls

LED rotary faders and Kit Modifier knobs provide hands-on control over levels, effects and reverb without menu diving, allowing quick adjustments during performance.
