Behringer Xd8usb User manual

Electronic drums have been around

for a couple of decades now, and

technological advances have improved

both their sound and feel. But these

high-tech marvels have typically come

with one unacceptable feature—sticker

shock! Leave it to the gear-heads at

BEHRINGER to break this vicious cycle

with highly aordable, great-sounding

electronic kits that are as easy to play,

as they are to transport and set up.

Ready to Rock Right out-of-the box

We know how much you love to play,

so we designed our XD Series drum kits

for fast and easy, tool-free setup. Just pull

the kit out of the box, position the drum

and cymbal pads the way you like 'em and

plug in; it's just that simple. And when

you're nished playing, just fold up the

kit and stash it behind the couch or

underneath the bed. Now your signicant

other will still respect you in the morning!

True-to-Life Feel

The way drums“feel” is one of the

most important factors, especially for

drummers who use electronic drums for

practice and then return to an acoustic kit

for live performance. So we gave our pads

a natural rubber surface, which mimics

the feel of real skins and minimizes

false triggering. All of our kits feature

sturdy, extruded aluminum frames,

which provide a solid foundation for

the drum and cymbal pads. You'll really

appreciate this added stability when

you're rockin' out full-tilt.

Sound Quality

Easy setup and feel are important,

but how do they sound? Thanks to their

vast libraries of top-notch studio and live

drum, percussion and cymbal sounds,

XD Series drums sound great! Whether

you choose the full-size XD60-USB with

110 sounds each, or opt for the XD70-USB

with 135 sounds, you'll get professional,

studio-grade sounds that will simply blow

you away. And if that's still not enough,

you can always use XD's MIDI capability

to build your own library via external

MIDI sound modules. Plus you can

program and store your favorite kits for

instant recall.

March to the Beat of Your own Drum

Acoustic drums sound fantastic,

but can cause real volume issues,

especially in a small club or when you

need to practice at home late at night.

XD Series drum kits provide the ideal

solution, allowing you to control the

volume and still satisfy your desire to rock

out. You can practice with the built-in

metronome or play along with your

favorite tunes thanks to the convenient

Aux inputs and USB connectivity.

Output options abound including

headphones (your neighbors will

thank you), stereo and mono Main Outs,

plus USB/MIDI for hooking up external

sound modules.
