Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi groupies,

I have some questions about my new Pintech AX14S and the Zenbal ZB2. 
I received the shipment last week and so far I am happy with them 
using with my DTX Version 2 brain.  I got the following questions 
that need clarification though.  Hope you guys might be able to help. 

1. Did you guys get product manuals or warranty info from Pintech?  I 
didn't get anything and asked my vendor but they deferred the 
question to Pintech.  I haven't heard from them since.

2. I could only get the AX14S rim sound when I directed the output to 
the 11/12 input (should be similar to your 9/10 in DTXpress) using 
the Hosa YPP117 splitter cable.  I read the older messages regarding 
to this product, but what I don't understand is why couldn't I get 
both Snare & RIM sounds through the Snare Input #1. Why do we need to 
run it to the 9/10?  AX14S is dual-zone and I am using a stereo 
cable.  Plus my original TP80S can be plugged into Input #1 and get 
both sounds.  If Pintech provided me a product manual to clarify all 
these, it might make sense.  FYI, I have also tighten the nuts, but I 
prefer them not too tight since I think the mesh head is too bouncy 
already!

3. The Zenbals are great except I still need a lot of fine tuning.  
The crash sometimes wouldn't trigger and the Ride (set at a sharper 
angel) seems to make too much noise when I hit the surface.  Don't 
know how to resolve that though.  Also, since the ZB2 is a full 
circle, I wonder if leaving the output device at a downright position 
will give me better trigger, although it seems to be better.


THanks, overall I do recommend these two products.  Hopefully they 
just forgot to send me manuals, otherwise I don't think I could set 
them up.  But with you guys' help and tips, they are certainly 
verrrrry helpful.

This group is terrific!!
