Chapter 1 – Your First Session with the NanoVerb

Placement and Installation

The NanoVerb may be mounted almost anywhere it's needed: on a table, on top of an amp, next to a mixing console. In any case, make sure to place it safely where it will not fall or be damaged. If it will be on furniture, make sure to attach the rubber feet provided to the bottom of the unit. While the NanoVerb itself doesn't generate any magnetic or hum fields, its power supply may do so. Make sure to place the power supply away from other audio equipment that is sensitive to induced fields, and away from the signal wiring. In rare instances, the NanoVerb itself may pick up noise fields generated by other equipment such as large power amplifiers; in this case, move the NanoVerb until the noise goes away.

Rack Mounting

The most secure mounting is on a "universal" rack shelf, available from various rack manufacturers or your music dealer. The NanoVerb's height conforms to single- space mounting, and up to three NanoVerbs may be mounted side-by-side in a standard universal EIA 19" equipment rack.

A hole is pre-threaded in the base of the NanoVerb to attach it to a rack. Use an M5 x 6 screw (included) to fasten the NanoVerb to your rack tray. There is an end stop in the screw hole to prevent longer screws from damaging the electronics.
