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.
