Key Features

Universal Compatibility: Works with most electronic keyboards and digital pianos featuring a 1/4 inch (6.35mm) jack input.
Realistic Feel: Designed to emulate the sustain pedal action of an acoustic piano.
Anti-slip Design: Equipped with non-slip rubber pads on the base for stable placement during use.
Durable Construction: Built with quality materials and a high-resistance spring for enhanced control and longevity.
Polarity Switch: Includes a switch to ensure compatibility with various keyboard brands and models.

Setup Instructions

Unpack the Pedal: Carefully remove the Audibax SP-10 sustain pedal from its packaging.
Locate the Sustain Input: Identify the "Sustain," "Damper," or "Pedal" input jack on your digital piano or electronic keyboard. This is typically a 1/4 inch (6.35mm) jack.
Connect the Pedal: Insert the 1/4 inch jack cable from the SP-10 pedal firmly into the sustain input of your instrument.
Position the Pedal: Place the pedal on the floor in a comfortable position for playing. Ensure the anti-slip pads on the base are making good contact with the floor to prevent movement.
Check Polarity: If the sustain effect is inverted (e.g., sustain is on when the pedal is up, and off when pressed), locate the polarity switch on the side or bottom of the pedal and flip it to the opposite position. Test again.

Operating Instructions

The Audibax SP-10 sustain pedal functions like a traditional acoustic piano sustain pedal. When pressed, it sustains the notes played on your electronic keyboard or digital piano. Releasing the pedal will stop the sustain effect.

Press and Hold: Press the pedal down while playing notes to extend their sound.
Release: Lift your foot from the pedal to end the sustain effect.
Dynamic Control: The high-resistance spring allows for nuanced control, enabling you to add subtle or dramatic sustain effects to your music.

Maintenance and Care

Cleaning: Wipe the pedal with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the finish.
Storage: Store the pedal in a dry environment, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
Cable Care: Avoid kinking or sharply bending the cable. Do not pull the cable to disconnect it; always grasp the plug.
Avoid Liquids: Keep the pedal away from liquids to prevent electrical damage.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution

No sustain effect when pedal is pressed.	Pedal not fully plugged in. Incorrect input jack used on instrument. Instrument setting for pedal is off. Faulty cable or pedal.
