Connecting another KD-7 to the MIX IN jack on the first KD-7 lets you fine-tune the output of the two KD-7 units with the Output Level control. To lower the unit's output level, use a flathead screwdriver to turn the Output Level control counterclockwise. The Output Level control should normally be left at its maximum setting.

Connecting the OUTPUT jack on another KD-7 to the MIX IN jack on the first KD-7 lets you use the setup as a double kick drum. To use MIX IN jack, you will need to re-adjust the trigger parameter on the sound module, since the output level will be reduced compared with times when only one KD-7 is used. Be sure that you connect the second KD-7 to the MIX IN jack.
