Typical Applications

The audio inputs and outputs are typically used in one of three ways:
from one or two effect/aux send outputs of a mixer, and out to the effect return
inputs of the mixer; or,
from a line-level instrument (like a guitar or keyboard with either a mono or stereo
output), and out to an amplifier or mixer input; or,
from the stereo buss outputs of a mixer to a mix-down tape machine or amplifier.
When used with a mono source, the NanoVerb is placed between the source and the
mixer/amplifier. Although the source may be mono, both the [LEFT] and [RIGHT]
outputs can be connected to the inputs of a mixer/amplifier if stereo processing
effects are desired. If using the effect sends of a mixer, you have the advantage of
sending any of the mixer's input channels to the NanoVerb's input(s), and have
control over the level of each channel being sent.
These applications are outlined and illustrated in detail on the following pages.

Input Jack Wiring

The NanoVerb's [LEFT] INPUT jack is normalled to the [RIGHT] INPUT. This means
that if you only connect a single mono cable to the [LEFT] INPUT jack, it will also be
routed to the [RIGHT] INPUT. However, if anything is connected to the [RIGHT]
INPUT jack, this normalized connection will be broken; in this case the [LEFT] INPUT
jack will feed only the [LEFT] INPUT, and the [RIGHT] INPUT jack feeds only the
[RIGHT] INPUT. Also, the [RIGHT] INPUT jack is NOT normalled to the [LEFT]
INPUT.

Connecting Directly to an Instrument

When connecting audio cables and/or turning power on and off, make sure that all
J
devices in your system have their volume controls turned down.
The NanoVerb has two 1/4" unbalanced inputs and two 1/4" unbalanced outputs.
These provide three different audio hookup options:
