T550 12" Snare on Simmons SD1500

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T550 12" Snare when used with the Simmons SD1500.

Setup — T550 12" Snare on Simmons SD1500

Works

Yes — the T550 12" Snare works as a full snare on the Simmons SD1500: head + rim.

Head Rim

Wiring: The "To Snare" branch of the multi-pin cable harness → snare pad

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

Cable routing

  1. Plug the branch of the multi-pin cable harness labeled "To Snare" into the snare pad. The harness ends in a multi-pin connector that plugs into the Multi-Pin Connection Jack on the bottom of the module; apart from the side-panel TOM 4 and CRASH 2 jacks, every pad reaches the SD1500 through the harness.

Module settings

  1. Press [UTILITY], then [MENU] to open Trigger Setup.
  2. Select the Snare input (strike the pad or use its Pad Select button).
  3. Step with [PAGE -/+] and adjust Sensitive, Thresh, Curve, Retrig-C, X-Talk, Splash-S.

Tips

  1. Head triggers from the center piezo, rim from a second piezo mounted under the head.
  2. On an input that reads head and rim, if the wrong zone plays, tune the module's head/rim settings for this pad's size; values set for a different-size pad may not carry over.
