GETTING READY

1A SETUP

IMPORTANT!! Before you turn on your SP-12: There is a 115/230 Volt selector switch on the back of the SP-12, next to the ON/OFF switch. Make sure the AC voltage indicated on the switch agrees with the AC voltage present in your part of the world. If not, change the switch settings with a small screwdriver.

1.Set up the SP-12 on a hard surface so that the bottom plate ventilation holes are not obstructed.

2.Patch a standard, guitar type patch cord between the MIX OUT jack on the rear panel and a high quality amp or mixing console. The better the sound system, the more life like the sound of the SP-12.

3.Make sure the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position. Plug the line cord into a properly wired three-wire AC outlet.

4.Turn the MIX VOLUME and METRONOME VOLUME controls all the way to the left.

5.Turn the ON/OFF switch to ON; the SP-12 will run a self-test where all LED’s will light up briefly to show they’re working properly.

6.Press the RUN/STOP switch (located near the lower right hand corner of the SP-12) to start the drums, and then turn up the MIX VOLUME control to hear a demo of what this baby can do. Adjust the monitor system levels to suit. If you hear the drums, all is well to proceed, press RUN/STOP a second time and the song will stop.
