Basic Connections
The MicroVerb 4 is designed to accommodate a number of applications, whether you are connecting an instrument directly into it, or connecting it with a mixing console. Briefly described here are the basic connections to get you up and running quickly. For more information on connections, please refer to Chapter 2.
•Mono In, Mono or Stereo Out. Connect a mono cord to the [LEFT/MONO] INPUT of the MicroVerb 4 from a mono source. (The Left input will then feed both inputs.) Connect another mono cord from the [LEFT] OUTPUT of the MicroVerb 4 to an amplification system or mixer input. Additionally, you could connect a second mono cord to the [RIGHT] OUTPUT for use with a stereo amplification system, or two mixer inputs.
•Stereo. Connect two mono cords to the [LEFT/MONO] & [RIGHT] INPUTS of the MicroVerb 4 from a stereo source , and two mono cords from the [LEFT/MONO] & [RIGHT] OUTPUTS of the MicroVerb 4 to a stereo amplification system or two mixer inputs.
