15" Dual-Zone China on Simmons SD1200

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the 15" Dual-Zone China when used with the Simmons SD1200.

Setup — 15" Dual-Zone China on Simmons SD1200

Works

Yes — the 15" Dual-Zone China works as a full 2-zone crash on the Simmons SD1200: bow + edge.

Bow Edge

Wiring: The CRASH1 lead of the multi-pin cable harness → cymbal, or 1× TRS → the Crash 2 jack on the right side panel

Dual-zone cymbal triggering confirmed. Manual lists Crash as Dual zone (p.5). Stock crash is a Dual Zone 12" Cymbal with choke support.

Crash setup and troubleshooting guide ›

Cable routing

  1. Plug the CRASH1 lead of the multi-pin cable harness into the cymbal pad, or connect a 1/4" TRS cable from the cymbal pad to the Crash 2 stereo 1/4" input on the module's right side panel.
Crash setup and troubleshooting guide ›

Module settings

  1. Utility > Trigger > select Crash > adjust Sensitivity, Threshold, Curve, Retrigger, Crosstalk.

Tips

  1. Both crash inputs read bow and edge.
  2. The manual documents choke on the crash input — grabbing the edge of the cymbal stops it ringing.
