Using the NanoVerb with a Powered Mixer

 

You can dramatically improve the sound quality of a powered mixer by connecting a

 

digital effects units such as the NanoVerb to it in the same way you would connect it

 

to a regular mixer, with one important note:

J

Never connect an output intended for a loudspeaker (the power amplifier output) to

the input of the NanoVerb. This will cause damage that will not be covered by the

 

warranty.

 

Consult the manual of your mixer for more information. Generally, the best way is to

 

connect the "Effect Out" jack of the mixer to the NanoVerb following the procedure on

 

page 14. If the system is not stereo, you may connect only the [LEFT] output of the

 

NanoVerb to an "Effect Return" or other input. You will get a slightly deeper, more

 

complex effect if you can connect both the [LEFT] and [RIGHT] outputs of the

 

NanoVerb to inputs on the mixer.
