… on your purchase of the Simmons SDMK4 Digital Drum Pads. To get the most
enjoyment, we recommend that you review this manual at least once, then
refer back to it often to learn more about specific functions.
Taking Care of Your Digital Drum Pads
Location
• To avoid deformation, discoloration, or more serious damage, do not expose the unit to direct sunlight,
high temperature sources, or excessive humidity.
Power Supply
• Turn the power switch off when the SDMK4 is not in use.
• The AC adapter should be unplugged from the AC outlet if the SDMK4 will not be used for an extended
period of time.
• Avoid plugging the AC adapter into an AC outlet that is also powering high-consumption appliances such
as electric heaters or televisions. Also avoid using multi-plug adapters since these can reduce sound quality,
cause operation errors, and result in possible damage.
• To avoid damage, turn off the SDMK4’s power switch and all related devices prior to connecting
or disconnecting cables.
Handling and Transport
• Never apply excessive force to any parts.
• Unplug cables by gripping plugs firmly. Do not pull on cables.
• Serious damage can occur by dropping or bumping
Cleaning
• Clean with a dry, soft cloth.
• A slightly damp cloth may be used to remove stubborn grime and dirt.
• Never use cleaners such as alcohol or thinner.
Electrical Interference
• The SDMK4 contains electronic circuitry that may cause interference if placed too close to radio or television
receivers. If this occurs, move the SDMK4 further away from the affected equipment.
Service and Modification
• There are no user serviceable parts in the SDMK4.
• Do not attempt to open the SDMK4 or make any changes to circuits or parts. This will void the warranty.
welcome
and
Congratulations!

SETTING UP
An optional set of stereo headphones can be connected
to the Phone/Output jack located on the rear panel.
When headphones are plugged into the jack, the internal
speakers will switch off automatically, perfect for private
practice or late night playing. If you want to use an
external sound system, the Headphone Jack can also
be used to connect the digital drum to a stereo system
or mixing console.
* Turn all equipment off before making any connections.
Using headphones
Your SDMK4 will run on batteries or from the included power adapter.
Using an AC Adapter
Connect the power adapter to the DC IN jack located
on the rear panel of the unit, and plug the AC power
adapter into an AC power outlet. Do not use adapters
other than the one specified. The technical specification
of the adapter is 9V DC output, 800mA, center
positive type.
Using Batteries
1 Open the battery compartment cover on
the underside of the unit.
2 Insert six “C” size batteries. When inserting
the batteries, be careful to follow the
polarity markings.
3 Close the battery compartment.
Power supply
NOTES Power will be automatically drawn from the AC adapter if an optional AC adapter is connected while batteries are installed in the instrument.
CAUTION: It is recommended that you replace worn batteries as soon as possible. When battery voltage drops, the display will dim and/or the sound will become
distorted. When this occurs, replace the batteries with a complete set of six new batteries of the same type.
NEVER mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (alkaline, magnesium, etc.), batteries by different makers, or batteries from the same maker but of different types. Misuse
may cause the instrument to become hot, resulting in fire, or battery leakage. Also, to prevent damage due to batter y leakage, remove all the batteries from the instrument when it is not
to be used for an extended period of time. Batteries left in an unused instrument will also loose their power over time.

for various electronic musical instruments (and other devices, such as computers) to communicate with each
other. For example, by connecting a MIDI tone generator to the SDMK4’s MIDI OUT terminal, you can play
the tone generator’s voices from the SDMK4’s pads and pedals.
The SDMK4 is equipped with two types of MIDI jacks,
both are located on the rear panel.
MIDI IN
Data transmitted from other MIDI instruments via
MIDI cable is received at this jack.
MIDI OUT
Data produced by the SDMK4 is transmitted to other
MIDI instruments via MIDI cable from this jack.
