3 Setting up the rack
Please note that this guide only contains suggestions. It is not intended to dictate categorically the height at which you set up the
pads. You can adjust or move all the parts of the set in any way that your like.
The manufacturer supplies the rack virtually completely assembled. From the drummer's point of view, the vertical rack rod on
which the three horizontal rods are fastened is the left-hand side of the rack.
Insert the two supplied rubber feet onto the bottom two cross-bars on which rubber feet have already been mounted.
Turn the feet outwards such that the longer part points inwards as shown on the right-hand side of this picture.
Now you can turn all the horizontal rack rods to the side and fasten the cymbal arms to the clips that are intended for this on the
rack.
In addition, you can point all the L-pieces of the tom holders upwards and also set the height of the horizontal rods.

4 Mounting the pads
The pads are all individually packed in the second package. The matching cables are also included.
In all the pads, electronic drums are integrated on one side and acoustic ones on the other side. By means of a variable pad
holding system, you can turn each shell and play the drum set as an acoustic or an electronic one.
Bass drum pad
Scope of supply includes:
nPad
nOne short and two long tubes
nFoot plate
nTwo rack connection clips
The bass drum has a total of three seats for rack tubes. Fasten the short tube on one side in the foot plate using the small square-
head screw and on the other in the centre hole in the shell.
Insert the two longer rods in the two adjacent seats. Fasten the connecting clips on the ends of the rods.
The screws on both ends of the clips are of different lengths. Fasten the clips such that the ends of the clips with the shorter screws
are located on the horizontal tubes to the bass drum. Otherwise, the other ends of the clips do not fit onto the rack tube.
After you have assembled everything, the pad should look like this:
Now you can use the two outside connecting clips to fasten the pad on the vertical rods of the rack. If necessary, you must push
the two tubes in the bass drum further into the pad so that the clips are on a level with the rack tube.

5 Mounting the cymbals, hi-hat controller Mine and bass drum pedal
(bundle)
Cymbals
You mount the cymbals just like you would normal ones on the cymbal stands. Screw off the plastic screw and put the cymbal
between the two felts that are located below the screw. Then screw the screw back onto the thread.
Hi-hat controller Mine
The Millenium hi-hat controller Mine can be mounted on any hi-hat stand. It does the job of a typical hi-hat controller and allies it
to the feel of a real hi-hat.
Insert the hi-hat controller onto the hi-hat stand where the bottom hi-hat cymbal is usually located. You insert the electronic
cymbals like acoustic ones between the felts of the hi-hat clutch.

6 Mounting and cabling the drum module (bundle)
Installation
Fasten part of the MC628 multiclip on the tom holder on the left-hand rack rod.
You can fasten the module on the other end.
Cabling
On the back of your Millenium MPS-600 module, there are various jack sockets. The names of the inputs describe exactly the pad
that you must connect using the supplied cable. This means: The kick pad (in other words the bass drum) must be connected to
the kick input, the snare pad to the snare input and so on.
When you have done this, connect your module's power supply to the mains and switch it on using the rocker switch on the
right-hand side of the unit.
