INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Pearl Redbox drum module! The RBM-20 includes lots of high-fidelity drum, percussion, and
accompaniment sounds giving you the sonic realism of acoustic drums but with the convenience and flexibility of
electronic drums.
This manual details all the RBM-20 module’s features. If you want to learn fast so you can dive right into playing,
refer to the included Quickstart Guide. Or, for a brief overview of the module’s features, see the BASICS chapter.
Of course, we also recommend reading through this manual so you can take full advantage of all the amazing
functions of the RBM-20.

CONNECTION DIAGRAM
• Connect your electronic drum set’s triggers to the corresponding inputs on the module with the appropriate 1/4”
cables. 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” TS cables from the MAIN OUT or AUX OUT to an amplifier, mixer, or speaker system. (For mono sound,
you can connect only one 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 standard RCA cables.
See the included assembly poster for further instructions on setting up the E-PRO LIVE Kit and connecting it to the
RBM-20 module.
IMPORTANT:
• Always turn down your volume level(s) to zero before plugging or unplugging your cables from
your triggers or the module.
• The RBM-20 module may be affected by static electricity. If this occurs, simply turn the module off
and wait at least a few seconds before turning it on again.
