T950 13"x5" Snare Drum on ATV aD5

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T950 13"x5" Snare Drum when used with the ATV aD5.

Yes — the T950 13"x5" Snare Drum works as a full snare on the ATV aD5: head + rim.

Head Rim

Wiring: 1× TRS → the "SN" plug on the aD5's multi-trigger cable

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

Connect a ¼″ TRS cable from the snare pad to the plug labelled "SN" on the aD5's multi-trigger cable. Every pad reaches this module through that cable — check the label printed on each plug.

In the home screen open the menu, select the [SYSTEM] tab and press [TRIGGER] (p.32).
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).
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 snare (pp.33–34). The wizard is the better route here, because it measures the pad you actually have.
On the ADJUST page set Sensitivity so the shot meter reads ff on your hardest stroke, and Curve so a medium stroke reads mf (p.36).
On the FINE ADJUST page raise Threshold if the pad fires from nearby vibration, and set Zone B Sens to balance the rim against the head; if a rim shot sounds when you strike the head, adjust Head-Rim Adj on the RIM ADJUST page (p.37).

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