Setup details by role

Snare pad 1-zone 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.

Tom pad 1-zone 1× TRS per tom → TOM1, TOM2, TOM3 connectors on the DB-25 cable snake

The tom inputs on the cable snake support dual-zone (head + rim) triggering via center piezo and rim switch.

Kick pad Works 1× TS or TRS → KICK connector on the DB-25 cable snake

Single-zone kick trigger via the cable snake. Only the head zone is active.

2-zone crash 1-zone N/A

All cymbal pads are single-zone. No multi-zone cymbal support.

3-zone ride 1-zone 1× TRS from the cymbal's Ride 2 output → Ride connector on the DB-25 cable snake — bow only

Full 3-zone is not supported — this module has a single Ride input, and it reads the Ride connection as a single-zone cymbal. Connect the cymbal's Ride 2 output (bow + bell); only bow-zone hits will trigger the kit’s ride voice.

Hi-hat Open/Closed 1× hi-hat pad + hi-hat controller → HI-HAT / HI-HAT CTL connectors on the nine-channel snake (3.5 mm mini at the module end)

Every trigger jack on the DTX400K is 3.5 mm mini — HI-HAT (mini mono) and HI-HAT CTL (mini stereo) per the specifications (p.64) — not 1/4", so Lemon 1/4" hardware does not plug in directly. The DTX400K ships with a basic hi-hat controller; the position-sensing HH65 is stock on the DTX430K/450K only (pp.8-10).
