How do I troubleshoot if the RT-30H is not triggering correctly?

Check the cable connections first. Ensure the trigger is properly aligned and secure on the drum. Verify the module's input settings and sensitivity levels. If issues persist, try a different cable or module input.

What maintenance is required for the RT-30H trigger?

Regularly check for dust or dirt accumulation on the trigger and clean it with a soft cloth. Inspect the connection cable for wear and tear. Keep the tension rod tight but avoid over-tightening to prolong the trigger's lifespan.

Can the RT-30H be used with electronic cymbals?
