System Operation (cont.):
Updating and Customizing your DCP:
The Gen16 team is continually working on improvements and enhancements to the AE system. We encourage
you to visit www.gen-16.com often to check for free firmware updates and new cymbal tone-shaping preset
packages. These are easily installed via USB using the AE Cymbals Gen16 DCP Access Tool Application
Program, which can be downloaded for both Macintosh™ OS X and Windows™ XP/7.
Tips & Tricks:
• When mounting the DCP, align the mounting arm tab flush to the DCP.
• To achieve best performance and minimize cymbal stand noise, tighten the wing nuts securely but do
not force.
• To minimize the potential for feedback, try not to position your drum kit too near your PA speakers or
stage monitors.
• To prevent the AE pickups from rotating from their optimum orientations, you can use cable ties
(not included) to secure the snake cable to your cymbal stand(s).
