Chapter 1 – Your First Session with the NanoVerb

¿Before turning on the NanoVerb’s power, check the following items:

•Have all connections been made correctly?

•Are the volume controls of the amplifier or mixer turned down?

¡Insert the Power jack into the [POWER] input on the rear panel of the NanoVerb and plug the power adapter into an AC outlet.

Upon power-up, the Power On LED will illuminate.

¬Turn on the power of the amplifier/mixer, and adjust the volume.

Setting Levels

Proper setting of the input and output levels is crucial in order to achieve the maximum signal-to-noise ratio. As a good rule of thumb, it is usually best to set both input and output level controls at 3/4 or 75% of full. This will decrease the possibility of overload distortion and keep the amount of background noise to a minimum.

If the Signal LED on the NanoVerb begins to clip (turn red), turn down the Input level or decrease the volume of the source (instrument, mixer send, etc.). If the NanoVerb’s level is causing the mixer or amp to distort, turn the Output Level down. For more detail on level setting, see page 25.

The NanoVerb’s front panel contains the following:

¨Input. The Input level control sets the level going into the NanoVerb. This should be adjusted so that the Signal LED (• ) is green when signal is going into the unit. It controls both the Left and Right Input levels simultaneously.

¡Mix . The Mix control adjusts the balance between the direct signal coming into the input and the effects generated by the NanoVerb.

¬Output. The Output level control sets the level going to the amplifier or mixer from the NanoVerb.

÷Power LED. The Power LED is illuminated whenever the NanoVerb's power adapter is plugged in.
