About Hi-Hat Cymbals
FIELD electronic hi-hat cymbals come in two models. FIELD hi-hats are uniquely designed
to be mounted on a wide variety of standard hi-hat stands with pedals or fixed mounting.
FIELD electronic hi-hat cymbals come fully assembled including a top and bottom
cymbal and a standard hi-hat clutch. Simply take your FIELD hi-hat out of the box, place
it on a standard hi-hat stand, and you are ready to plug it in and play.
Hi-Hat FIXED "foot controller is required"
The foot controller is responsible for the difference between "open" and "closed" hi-hat
sounds. Roland FD-7, FD-8 or Pintech HHC RYC Hi-Hat Stand Mounted Controller are
examples of compatible controllers. Many other brands and types of foot controllers are
also available.
Hi-Hat TRADITIONAL has a built in controller. The internal controller is responsible for the
difference between "open" and "closed" hi-hat sounds. The hi-hat needs to be mount-
ed on a standard hi-hat stand that uses a standard hi-hat clutch or standard drop clutch
for double bass players. Super clutches with a set screw lock are not needed and should
not be used due to FIELD's unique internal controller configuration.
MOUNTING:
To mount the hi-hat, slide the top and bottom hi-hat cymbals along with the clutch
over the hi-hat stand mounting post. Raise the top hi-hat cymbal up until it stops and
then tighten the wing-nut to the hi-hat post as you would any standard hi-hat.
CONNECTION:
Plug in the hi hat and foot control jacks to the corresponding inputs.
Connect the HH CTRL input from the sound module to the HH CTRL output of the Hi-Hat.
Connect the Hi Hat input from the sound module to the Hi Hat output of the
Hi-Hat.
STRIKING AREA:
The intended striking area of the hi-hat cymbal is located on the opposite side of the
FIELD logo as shown below. Position the hi-hat so that the FIELD logo is located directly
across from where you are striking the hi-hat for optimal triggering response
