Troubleshooting (cont.):
Pickup lights don’t work:
• Check that the plugs are fully inserted in both the pickup and DCP jacks.
• Ensure that the power switch is in the “Lights On” position.
No signal through the Aux input:
• Check the Aux input volume level via the Settings menu.
Feedback:
• Aim your speakers away from the cymbal pickups.
• Use Channel Solo mode to set the volume of each cymbal individually to where it doesn’t feed back.
• Try different presets; some presets accentuate frequencies that may cause feedback in your particular
acoustic environment.
• Use the channel Pan controls to pan each cymbal to the speaker farthest from it.
• In live performance situations consider monitoring with headphones rather than floor monitors.
My cymbal has an overtone that I don’t like:
• You can vary the overtones of your AE cymbals by changing the foam damping washers beneath and
above it. Larger washers will help dampen ringing; smaller washers will let the cymbal ring more. The
included dampening pins and accompanying rubber pads can also be inserted through the perforations
in your AE cymbals at various locations (typically near the bell) to control overtones.
