Re: [Simmons Drums] sds-v separate outs

Well, to again use information from the SDS 7 manual to try to answer your question about the SDS V...

The SDS 7 has 12 individual outputs, a set of stereo outputs, and a mono output.  According to the manual, the stereo and mono outputs deliver 2 volts peak-to-peak into a 1k load.  The individual outputs each deliver a 600 millivolt peak-to-peak signal into a 1k load.  So, the individuals are definitely a lower level output.  The difference between 2 volts and 600 millivolts should not be perceived as a huge difference.  If your SDS V has a really big difference, then either the design is different than on the SDS 7 or there is a problem with you SDS V.  When comparing the individual outputs vs. the mix output, are you running them into the same load?  A different load will create a different frequency response which will definitely be perceived as a difference in volume.

  Hi!

  I can now confirm that the separate outs of the SDS-V are indeed 1&2 ground while 3 is hot. Thanks for the help Vince!

  Now to the next Q... why is the signal so much weaker using these outputs compared to that of the mix out? Am I missing something here?

  And aren't there anyone ont his list with a SDS-V manual who's willing to share a copy? As soon as my scanner is a friend of mine again I'll try to fix the TMI manual...

  electronically yours, jesper
