EFNOTE PRO 500X
A Stage-Ready Electronic Kit with Studio-Level Control
The EFNOTE PRO 500X is designed for serious players who want the feel of a real drum kit combined with the routing flexibility modern stages and studios demand. Positioned within EFNOTE’s professional PRO lineup, the 500X delivers a full performance layout, advanced trigger processing, and a dedicated stagebox system that separates it from traditional all-in-one e-drum kits.
This is a kit built for working drummers.
Acoustic Feel with Modern Precision
At first glance, the PRO 500X presents itself like a refined acoustic setup. Real birch shells in a Black Oak finish are paired with responsive mesh heads, delivering natural rebound and controlled stick response.
The snare and cymbals are sized for expressive playing and feature multi-zone triggering for detailed articulation. The layout includes splash, effect, and china cymbals alongside hi-hat, crash, and ride, giving players a wide tonal palette straight out of the box.
For drummers transitioning from acoustic kits, the experience feels familiar and comfortable. Dynamics translate smoothly, ghost notes respond naturally, and cymbal articulation remains consistent across zones.
The PRO System: Module and Stagebox
What defines the PRO 500X is its system architecture.
The module features a full-color touchscreen designed for quick navigation and deep editing control. Players have access to:
23 preset kits
20 user kit slots
167 high-resolution multi-layer samples
12-channel bus mixer with EQ and compression
Master EQ and compressor
Tuning and muffling controls
Integrated metronome
EFNOTE’s ELISE Trigger Processor 2.0 ensures fast response and accurate tracking across the kit.
Rather than relying solely on outputs built into the module, the PRO 500X includes a dedicated stagebox. This allows for cleaner routing and expanded connectivity, making it ideal for professional live setups and multi-channel recording environments.
Built for Live and Studio Workflows
Connectivity is a major strength of the PRO 500X.
It includes:
Up to 12 balanced outputs via the stagebox
USB audio interface with 2 inputs and 12 outputs
Bluetooth audio and MIDI
USB MIDI
5-pin DIN MIDI out
Headphone output for silent practice
On stage, individual drums can be sent separately to front-of-house for independent mixing. In the studio, multi-channel USB recording makes it easy to capture each drum on its own track for detailed production control.
This flexibility makes the PRO 500X more than just a practice solution. It is designed to integrate seamlessly into professional performance and recording setups.
Clean Hardware Package
The kit includes the necessary stands and mounting hardware to complete the setup:
Four cymbal boom stands
Snare stand
Tom holder
Splash holder
Module holder with integrated smartphone shelf
Kick pedal and hi-hat stand are not included, giving players the flexibility to use their preferred hardware.
A Serious Option for Serious Environments
The EFNOTE PRO 500X is well suited for:
Touring drummers needing reliable stage control
Studios requiring multi-output recording capability
Churches and houses of worship seeking controlled volume solutions
With its refined shell construction, expressive cymbal layout, touchscreen module, and dedicated stagebox routing system, the PRO 500X offers a modern electronic solution that feels purpose-built rather than compromised.
