AUDIO IN jacks
When you want to sample, connect your microphone or digital audio player to these jacks.
The sound that’s input to these jacks will be output from the MASTER OUT jacks and the
PHONES jack.
PHONES jack
Headphones can be connected here.
Sound will still be output from the SUB
OUT jacks and MASTER OUT jacks even
if headphones are connected.
MASTER OUT jacks
These jacks output the sound. Connect them
to your amplified speakers or recording
device.
If you’re outputting in monaural, connect to
only the L/MONO jack.
FOOT SW jack
A footswitch (FS-5U, FS-6; sold separately)
can be connected here and used to control
a variety of things (p. 27, p. 57).
TRIG IN jacks
External pads (PD series; sold separately)
or acoustic drum triggers (RT series; sold
separately) can be connected here (p. 27).
* To make the connection, use the cable that
came with the product you’re using.
[GAIN] knob
This adjusts the volume that’s
input to the AUDIO IN jacks (p.
29).
SUB OUT jacks
Connect them to your mixer or audio system.
These jacks output the sound of only the pads
you’ve specified (p. 43).
If you’re outputting in monaural, connect to
only the L/MONO jack.
* Use a monaural dynamic microphone.
The SPD-SX does not support condenser
microphones.
* Howling could be produced depending
on the location of microphones relative
to speakers. This can be remedied by:
1. Changing the orientation of the
microphone(s).
2. Relocating microphone(s) at a greater
distance from speakers.
3. Lowering volume levels.
