The problem with the labeling of the DIPs is the manual writer's 
command of English. S/He treats the term "attenuation" as if it 
meant "sensitivity." Yes, flipping the DIP up increases volume, but 
with mesh heads (at least to me) it worked better than the default  
position. As you say, it doesn't help the dynamic range. If you want 
to keep trying the cost-free alternatives, try changing the Trig. 
common setting to "Dynamic" or something else. It seems, however, 
that your best bet is to insert the pot in the snare's tip cable or 
to spend $45 on the Guyatone cable that I mentioned. Incidentally, I 
asked the company if they thought their cables would help with your 
problem; the tech thought so.
