NVR10 Quick Start Guide
2Connecting the NRV10
Your NRV10 is equipped with five XLR mic inputs and eight 1/4” line inputs. Connect any combination of mic and line sources to these inputs, being sure to choose the appropriate input source on each channel’s corresponding Mic/Line selector. If you are connecting condenser microphones, be sure to activate the Phantom Power switch.
You can connect external signal processors (typically dynamics processors) to any of the channel inserts on input channels 1 through 4, as well as to the rear-panel Main Mix insert. You can also connect external signal processors (typically reverbs or other multi-effects devices) to the NRV10’s Aux Send and Aux Return jacks.
Connect your powered monitor speakers or power amp to the rear-panel Main Mix outputs. The Main Mix outputs are provided as both XLR and 1/4” TRS output connectors. Although both sets of connectors carry the same signal, it is recommended under most circumstances that only one set of outputs be connected at any time. (Connecting to both sets of outputs will not damage your mixer, but will result in reduced overall output levels.) You can connect an additional set of powered monitors or a monitor amp to the rear-panel Control Room outputs.
And finally, connect the included FireWire cable from either of the NRV10’s rear-panel FireWire ports to your computer’s FireWire input.
IMPORTANT: Routing signals incorrectly between the NRV10 and your computer-based DAW—in particular, pressing the pre/post EQ button in certain routing configurations—can result in a feedback loop that can damage your hearing and your equipment. Please refer to Section 10 of the included User Guide, “Monitoring Live Audio While Recording to Your DAW,” before you use your NRV10.
