Frequently Asked Questions

It's quieter than a muffled acoustic, but still transmits some vibration; it’s designed for low-volume play, not silent operation.
It’s a standard 5-pin DIN connector, so it *should* work with most modules, but compatibility is always best confirmed by your module’s manufacturer.
The mesh head provides a reasonable amount of sustain, but it's noticeably shorter than a traditional cymbal’s natural wash; it’s more about the immediate response than a long decay.
