This output is compatible with headphones with a standard 6.35mm jack plug. If your headphones only have 
a smaller 3.5mm mini-jack plug, then a standard jack to mini-jack adapter can be used to connect them.

4. Mono Output

The drum module has also been fitted with a mono-output so that it can be directly connected to a 
professional PA system. Using a mono signal has the added benefit of sending a single channel to the mixer 
where it can be panned, just as a normal acoustic drum kit is amplified with mono microphones. The sound 
of the drum module can then be given the same position in the stereo image as it has on the stage.

The mono-output has a standard 6.35mm mono TS jack socket. 

If you need to send a stereo output signal, the headphone output can be used to send a stereo signal using a
6.3mm TRS jack cable. 

5. Aux Input

The DDK-080 also has an AUX IN fitted with a  3.5mm TRS mini-jack socket so that a phone, tablet, or 
laptop can be connected. Music can then be played through the drum module from the external audio device,
so that you can play along.

Here you can play along to a library of your own tracks, or follow online video tutorials.

6. USB MIDI Port

The drum module has a USB-B port that can be used to connect it to a computer. This can be used to send 
MIDI data to a computer and can only be used in combination with music production software. The MIDI 
information can then be used by the software or compatible plug-ins to trigger different sounds.

In this way, the sounds that come built into the drum module can be expanded when connected to a 
computer. A range of different plug-ins are compatible with the DDK-080 drum module and your retailer will 
be able to advise on this further.

7. DC-IN Power Port

The DC-IN port is provided for connecting the included power supply. The other end of the power supply then
needs to be plugged into a mains power socket.
