The Roland NE-10 Acoustic Sound Isolation Board is an isolation board intended to be used with Roland’s V-Drums Kick Pads and Pedals and indeed hi-hat controllers and stands. In addition to sound isolation the NE-10 Noise Eater from Roland offers further stability to your set-up.
The NE Noise Eater system is an innovative new development from Roland Drums which allows drummers over the world to play their V-Drums kits and electronic drums without transferring loud unwanted levels of sound through the floor into the room below.
Roland NE-10 Acoustic Sound Isolation Board features:
Highly effective sound isolation devices for kick pads/pedals, hi-hat control pedals, and hi-hat stands used with V-Drums
Reduces playing noise and vibration transfer through the floor to rooms below by approximately 75 percent, based on Roland test data
Lets users enjoy playing V-Drums without disturbing family members and neighbours
Ideal for drummers that live in multi-level homes, apartments, and condos; also great for multi-level lesson studios and music classrooms
Use the NE-10 standalone with KT-10 Kick Trigger Pedal, KD-9 Kick Pad, KD-7 Kick Trigger, or FD-8 Hi-Hat Control Pedal
When the NE-10 is used with a KD-140/KD-120 V-Kick or hi-hat stand for the VH-13/VH-11 V-Hi-Hat, companion NE-1 Noise Eater units (sold separately) must also be used under stand legs for maximum effectiveness
This platform is best suited for edrums, in particular if you can fit your pedal and kick pad on it. Its noise reduction functionality will be completely ineffective if the kick pad is attached to the edrum frame. In this case, you should isolate the whole frame to get any result. In conclusion, if you can fit all the gear producing vibration noise on this platform, buy it.
