EFNOTE PRO is designed to digitize your drum riser, then elevates your stage.
By simply connecting up to 12 balanced XLR outputs to your stage snake or sound-board, you will be sending and receiving the highest quality drum sounds on the market with total consistency and perfect isolation.
No More Acrylic Panel
There is no need to isolate your drummer from the choir, acoustic instruments, your audience or congregation. Your drummer is now free to connect and engage with everyone!
EFNOTE PRO has eliminated mic bleed and feedback problems on-stage, creating the ideal FOH mixing environment with clarity, balance and control.
Stage-Box Reliability
EFNOTE PRO has eliminated the need to change mics or mic placement, tuning, head replacement and maintenance at every show.
Just assign its 12-ch balanced outputs, using stereo or mono sends, such as kick, snare, toms, cymbals, click and external sampling pad.
Each channel is equipped with HPF, 2-band EQ, individual compressors for Bus 1-6, and ground lift switches.
Flexibility for All Music
EFNOTE PRO supports 7 shells and 8 cymbals. All pads are individually wired, so players can adapt to any musical environment.
All sound settings can be quickly saved and loaded, for multiple players and set-lists at any time.
In addition, with 12-ch of multitrack USB Audio and 16-ch USB MIDI running simultaneously, a drummer, producer or mixer have quick access to editing, in order to meet artist’s budget requirements.
