Chapter 2 – Connections
18 MicroVerb 4 Reference Manual
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 mixing console’s inserts come after
the EQ section, and may therefore be different from the original signal. If nothing is
connected to the channel’s Insert jack, the signal is not routed there.
Usually, insert connections require a special, stereo-splitting Y-cord to be connected
(one stereo plug provides both send and return while two mono plugs connect
separately to the effects unit’s input and output). These are known as TRS connectors
(tip-ring-sleeve). The tip of the stereo plug carries the send or output of the insert jack,
while the ring carries back the return. The sleeve represents a common ground for both
signals.
Mono. This involves connecting a 1/4" TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) Y-cable to the Insert jack
of a single channel on a mixing console. The other end of the cable (which splits into
two, 1/4" mono connectors) are connected to the [LEFT] input and [LEFT] output,
respectively. If you do not hear any audio after making these connections, swap the
input and output cables at the MicroVerb 4, as these may be wired backwards. If the
cable is color-coded, usually the red jack represents the send (which connects to the
MicroVerb 4’s input) and black is the return (which connects to the output).
