The Pintech ConcertCast uses two piezos.  The Yamaha modules use a single piezo plus a rim switch to get two zones.  So, putting the dual zone ConcertCast into a normal "stereo" input won't work.  You have two choices - use two inputs with a Y splitter (stereo in - dual mono out) or use the DTXpander circuit.  You can build one yourself - details here: http://www.dtxpander.co.uk/

Sorry for the self promotion, but it is one solution!
