Yamaha DSU50 Sensor/Mic Unit

Yamaha DSU50 Sensor/Mic Unit

The DSU50 captures your acoustic drums with natural depth and clarity, unlocking richer expression for every performance.

What is DSU50?
The DSU50 is Yamaha’s uniquely designed drum microphone, built specifically to capture the natural sound of an acoustic drum kit. Mounted on the bass drum hoop and facing the player, it gives you a clear, wide stereo image of the whole kit with no complicated setup.

One DSU50 is enough to produce a clean, usable drum sound for rehearsals, live shows, recording, monitoring or streaming. If you want more detail—such as clearer cymbals or a wider room sound—adding a second DSU50 expands the stereo image without the hassle of using multiple individual microphones.

When used with the EAD50 module, you can add effects or layer triggered sounds on top of the mic signal, by using triggers or pads, making it ideal for live performance, streaming or music production.

The DSU50 offers professional sound with very simple setup, redefining what drum miking can be.

Note: The DSU50 is included with EAD50 and available separately.

• Custom-designed matched-pair condenser capsules deliver a balanced stereo sound tuned specifically for acoustic drums.
• Enhanced housing with isolated internal structure reduces vibration and noise, ensuring stable and consistent audio capture.
• Slim design with hoop clamp and 3/8-inch mount allows flexible placement without interfering with your drum layout.
• The DSU50 is not compatible with the EAD10.
