Hello,

Since I split all of my 4 toms, now I want to split my kick-input.
what I want to do is use 2 2box kickpads on 1 kick-input(module). I know that the toms are dual trigger.But the kick is single trigger right? So is it possible to use 2 kickpads on 1 kick-input (module)?
and wich cable do I need, to do this?

This one is  rare and you need a mono version to do this
So perhaps you need to solder your own cable

On the ring of Kick output , there is 18v dc for MK1 kickpad light ....

Could it be harmfull for the module to connect a mono jack   (that will shortcircuit it ).....?

That is the cable what I need but I need 3 meter...

No probs. The ring of the kick jack is a current source with limiter. You can short it or split it and use it to light 2 kick pad led chains. Putting 2 triggers in parallel will probably work.
Nice xmas to you all.

So that's twin stereo jacks down to a single stereo jack.......  right ?

So you could use this:

look for Hosa YPP-118

Or I'm sure one of the smaller cable companies on ebay wd wire you up what you
wanted as a Y-cable....  I think I'd prefer that myself, neater, and cuts down on the number
of conections
