Connections – Chapter 2 CHAPTER 2 CONNECTIONS AC Power Hookup The MicroVerb 4 comes with a power adapter suitable for the voltage of the country it is shipped to (either 110 or 220V, 50 or 60 Hz). With the MicroVerb 4 off, plug the small end of the power adapter cord into MicroVerb 4’s [POWER] socket and the male (plug) end into a source of AC power.

Chapter 2 – Connections • Although Alesis does not endorse any specific product, chemicals such as Tweek and Cramolin, when applied to electrical connectors, are claimed to improve the electrical contact between connectors. Typical Applications The analog 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

Chapter 2 – Connections Interfacing to a Mixing Console The MicroVerb 4 handles mono or stereo sends at all system levels. The input circuitry of the MicroVerb 4 can easily handle +4 dBu levels (+20 dBu peaks), while having enough input and output gain to interface with the low -10 dBV signal levels of budget recording systems. The MicroVerb 4 may be connected to a mixing console in several different ways. It can be used to effect several instruments at once by using the auxiliary send and retur

Connect a mono cord from an effect send to the [LEFT] input of the MicroVerb 4, another mono cord from the [LEFT] output of the MicroVerb 4 to an effect return or other mixer input, and another mono cord from the [RIGHT] output of the MicroVerb 4 to an adjacent effect return or mixer input.

Chapter 2 – Connections By using individual channel inserts, you can dedicate the MicroVerb 4 to a specific channel (or pair of channels) on the mixer. The Insert connections on the back of the mixer provide a way of “inserting” external processing equipment into the signal path. The insert occurs after the input amplifier, and before the main fader; essentially it is the same as connecting the source (instrument or microphone) into the MicroVerb 4 before the mixer’s channel input. However, some

The [LEFT] and [RIGHT] outputs of the MicroVerb 4 are then connected to a stereo amplifier, or two input channels of another mixing console (for sub-mixing applications).
