Since the ddrum4 SE is an electronic drum system it's totally dependent on a good sound system. Since
all of the ddrum4's sounds have been recorded in the best studios, you will obtain the best results using
good quality amplification. The sounds coming from your ddrum4 SE will only sound as good as the
sound system you are playing them through.
We recommend a full-range sound system that is capable of reproducing all sounds as clear, strong and
uncolored as possible. PA-systems, studio monitors with good amplifiers and systems specifically de-
signed for electronic drums belong in this category. The attack portion of drums and percussion sounds
are very rich in transients, thus requiring a powerful and fast power amplifier to sound good (not the same
thing as loud). Do not underestimate the effect and speed requirements of the power amplifier used with
your ddrum4 sound system.
A hi-fi system can be used and will probably sound quite good at low volume levels. There is however a
risk that the ddrum4 SE could cause serious damage to a hi-fi system, so we do not recommend using one.
Guitar and bass amplifiers are optimized to reproduce guitar and bass sounds and typically do not work
well with percussion sounds.

Choose headphones with high sensitivity. Your ddrum supplier can probably help you to select a good
headphones model.

The ddrum4 SE outputs are unbalanced line level. Please connect these only to the appropriate inputs on
a mixer. Avoid microphone inputs. To much amplification in the inputs (as in microphone inputs) may
lead to a distorted sound.
