SDSV Crosstalk

SDSV Crosstalk

2007-09-17 by Jim

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
