T550 12" Snare on Alesis DM10 MKII

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T550 12" Snare when used with the Alesis DM10 MKII.

Yes — the T550 12" Snare works as a full snare on the Alesis DM10 MKII: head + rim.

Head Rim

Wiring: 1× TRS → SNARE connector on the DB-25 cable snake

The snare input on the cable snake supports dual-zone (head + rim) triggering via center piezo and rim switch.

Connect a 1/4" TRS cable from the snare pad to the SNARE connector on the DB-25 cable snake.

Press Trigger to enter the trigger interface page, then hit the Snare pad to select it.
Adjust Head Sensitivity, Rim Sens, and Threshold; use Head-Rim Adj to balance head and rim response.

Head triggers from the center piezo, rim triggers from the rim switch.
Both zones respond independently on the TRS connection (tip = head, ring = rim).
