In 2017, Pearl introduced its malletSTATION EM1, an adjustable range 3.0 octave electronic mallet controller powered by Keith McMillen Instruments. Today, Pearl has introduced the malletSTATION EM PRO — a modern, expandable electronic mallet controller that’s not just an evolution of the original malletSTATION, but a complete departure in purposeful design. Where the malletSTATION EM1 was designed to be portable and USB-powered, the EM PRO focuses on raw power, ultimate performance and expandability. The EM PRO is built around two separate components that work seamlessly together and features a full-color, multi-line screen for navigation, programmable backlit touch-sensitive buttons and control sliders.
