•
Connect the 1/4" cables of your kit's cable snake to the drum pads and cymbal pads of your kit. Each cable is labeled
with its proper trigger.
•
If you have additional drum pads, cymbal pads, or other triggers, you can use standard 1/4" cables to connect them to
the "RIDE 2/PERC1" or "PERC2" TRIGGER INPUTS on the module's rear panel. Dual-zone pads or cymbals (e.g., a
drum with head and rim triggers or a cymbal that can produce bow and bell sounds) will require TRS cables to trigger
both zones.
•
Plug 1/4" TRS cables from the MAIN OUT to an amplifier, mixer, or speaker system. (For mono sound, connect a cable
to the Left output.)
•
You can connect a set of 1/4" TRS headphones to the PHONES output.
•
You can connect another audio device to the AUX IN using a standard 1/8" stereo cable.
See the included assembly poster for further instructions on setting up the DM8 Kit and connecting it to the DM8 module.
