Connections

In this chapter, you'll learn how to set up the DTXPRESS IV. Read these instructions carefully
and in the following order to ensure that the instrument sounds and operates properly:
1 Connecting the Pads → 2 Setting Up the Power Supply (p. 12) → 3 Connecting to Speakers or Head-
phones (p. 12) → 4 Turning the Power On (p. 13) → 5 Selecting the Trigger Setup (p. 14)
You'll need to change the Trigger Settings of the DTXPRESS IV according to the type of drum set you are using
(Standard Set/Special Set/Acoustic Drums, etc.). If the setting is not appropriate, problems may occur—such
as improper sound, or inappropriate volume balance among the pads.
Refer to the "Selecting the Trigger Setup" section on page 14 on how to select the appropriate setup.

1 Connecting the Pads

Referring to the illustration below, connect the output cable from each pad to each Trigger Input jack located on the rear panel of the DTX-
PRESS IV. All Trigger Input jacks are conveniently labeled (1 SNARE, etc.), so make sure each pad is connected to its corresponding
Trigger Input jack.
CAUTION
To prevent electric shock and damage to the devices, make sure the power is switched OFF on the DTXPRESS
IV and all related devices before making any connections to the DTXPRESS IV's input and output jacks.
