Thanks so much Michael, I will give it a try. Or, better yet, attempt to find some original SDSV pads to match the module? Have any?
Regards,
Jim

Hello Jim, the original SDSV pads had a resistor parallel to the piezo to avoid crosstalk. The SDS9 pads don't have it. So the sensitivity of the SDS9 pads is to high for SDSV. To solve the problem I would suggest to solder a 10kohms resistor between live and neutral in the SDSV consoles pad inputs. You could do this in the pad or the cables too, but then these would not be useful for anything else. It is not difficult to open the case. You see a long wire soldered over all of the 7 pad input XLRs: That is ground/neutral potential. The coloured wires on the XLRs carry the life potential. So solder a resistor to each XLR connecting the 2 pins, thats it.

Subject: [Simmons Drums] SDSV Crosstalk
Hello,
Recently purchased an SDSV module which I am using with SDS9 pads. I
am having a problem with crosstalk. Snare / hi tom pads are mounted on
the left side stand. Med tom and floor tom on the right side stand.
Most pictures and ads I have seen, show the kit set up in this
fashion. I have adjusted the sensitivity, and while it has helped, it
has still not solved the problem. The pads seem so sensitive in fact,
that I am able to trigger sounds from lightly tapping on the tom
stands themselves! Was this a problem with the simmons SDSV? I would
love to keep it this set-up, but if I can't use it in a live setting,
due to false triggering, sesitivity and crosstalk, then I'll be forced
to part with it. Would switching to the older SDSV pads solve this
problem perhaps? Any help would help!!!! Thanks.
Jim
