SETTING UP
CAREFULLY UNPACK THE MODULE
If mounting the module on the Pearl RDMM Module Mount, follow the steps below.
If using without a module mount, move to “Plug in your pads”.
i.
Carefully turn the module upside down.
ii.
Be sure to protect the screen and Data Wheel/encoder from damage.
iii.
Install the mount ONLY with the included 10-32 screws.
iv.
Screws that are too long will damage the unit.
PLUG IN YOUR PADS
i.
Using the diagram in the “Connections” section, plug appropriate pads into each 1⁄4” jack.
ii.
Dress cables neatly and away from AC sources to avoid crosstalk.
iii.
Do not use unshielded cables.
iv.
Additional information on editing and tweaking your pads is included in the Trigger section.
v.
The default settings are for Pearl Tru-Trac pads.
CONNECT YOUR HEADPHONES
i.
Plug in headphones to the 1⁄4” headphone jack on the back of the unit.
The volume is controlled digitally via the encoder & touchscreen.
ii.
Be sure to lower the volume before you start playing, and slowly raise to a comfortable level.
iii.
The headphone output has it’s own mixer,
where each instrument can be adjusted independently.
CONNECT TO OTHER AUDIO EQUIPMENT
i.
Line Out 1-2 carry the Main Mix.
ii.
Line Out 3-14 are assignable inside Mimic Pro.
1. Typical use would be a direct-out for individual instruments to feed
a mixer or audio interface.
iii.
The AUX IN can be used to input pre-recorded music, a monitor mix,
or other reference source.
CONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY
i.
Select an AC outlet that is safe from foot traffic, dry, and has at least 3 amps of current to
spare. This specifically pertains to live stage performance environments where voltages
could
vary.
ii.
Ensure that this outlet is closely related electrically to any other equipment that Mimic Pro
will be connected to.
iii.
Connect the AC cable to the power supply and then your local mains AC.
iv.
Connect the DC cable to the Mimic Pro.
v.
Turn the power switch located on the left side to the “I” (ON) position.
