9" Dual-Zone Splash on ATV aD5

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the 9" Dual-Zone Splash when used with the ATV aD5.

Setup — 9" Dual-Zone Splash on ATV aD5

Works

Yes — the 9" Dual-Zone Splash works as a full 2-zone crash on the ATV aD5: bow + edge.

Bow Edge

Wiring: 1× TRS → CR (Crash) plug on the multi-trigger cable, or an AUX 1/2 rear-panel jack for a second crash

Full dual-zone cymbal support with bow and edge; choke supported. The aD5 has no individual panel trigger jacks except AUX 1 and AUX 2 — every pad connects through the included multi-trigger cable's labeled plugs (K, SN, T1–T3, HH, CR, RD, BEL, CTL). A crash lands on the CR plug; a second crash uses an AUX jack, which reads bow + edge.

Cable routing

  1. Connect the cymbal to the CR (Crash) plug on the aD5 multi-trigger cable using a 1/4" TRS cable.
  2. For a second crash, use the AUX 1 or AUX 2 jack on the rear panel — the aD5's only individual trigger jacks — which read bow + edge.

Module settings

  1. In the home screen open the menu, select the [SYSTEM] tab and press [TRIGGER] (p.32).
  2. The aD5 sets a pad up by manufacturer and model, and ATV's Pad Compatibility List covers ATV, Yamaha, Roland, ddrum and 2BOX — so pick the closest listed pad (p.32).
  3. Either set [Pad Brand] and [Model] on the MODEL page and press [OK] (p.32), or run [Trigger Setup Wizard], which asks for the same brand and model and then has you play your own softest and strongest strokes on the cymbal (pp.33–34). The wizard is the better route here, because it measures the pad you actually have.
  4. On the ADJUST page set Sensitivity so the shot meter reads ff on your hardest bow stroke, and Curve so a medium stroke reads mf (p.36).
  5. On the FINE ADJUST page set Zone B Sens to balance the edge against the bow, and raise Threshold if the cymbal fires from a neighbouring pad (p.37).

Tips

  1. Bow and edge trigger independently.
  2. Choke is supported via edge grab detection.
