Unpacking and Inspection

Your QuadraVerb 2 was packed carefully at the factory, and the shipping carton was

designed to protect the unit during shipping. Please retain this container in the highly

unlikely event that you need to return the QuadraVerb 2 for servicing.

The shipping carton should contain the following items:

• This instruction manual

• Alesis QuadraVerb 2 with the same serial number as shown on shipping carton

• AC Power Supply Adapter

• Alesis warranty card

It is important to register your purchase; if you have not already filled out your warranty

card and mailed it back to Alesis, please take the time to do so now.

AC Power Hookup

The QuadraVerb 2 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 QuadraVerb 2 off, plug the small end of the power adapter cord into

QuadraVerb 2’s [POWER] socket and the male (plug) end into a source of AC power.

It’s good practice to not turn the QuadraVerb 2 on until all other cables are hooked up.

Alesis cannot be responsible for problems caused by using the QuadraVerb 2 or any

associated equipment with improper AC wiring.

Line Conditioners and Protectors

Although the QuadraVerb 2 is designed to tolerate typical voltage variations, in

today’s world the voltage coming from the AC line may contain spikes or transients

that can possibly stress your gear and, over time, cause a failure. There are three main

ways to protect against this, listed in ascending order of cost and complexity:

• Line spike/surge protectors. Relatively inexpensive, these are designed to

protect against strong surges and spikes, acting somewhat like fuses in that they

need to be replaced if they’ve been hit by an extremely strong spike.

• Line filters. These generally combine spike/surge protection with filters that

remove some line noise (dimmer hash, transients from other appliances, etc.).

• Uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This is the most sophisticated option. A UPS

provides power even if the AC power line fails completely. Intended for computer

applications, a UPS allows you to complete an orderly shutdown of a computer

system in the event of a power outage, and the isolation it provides from the

power line minimizes all forms of interference—spikes, noise, etc.

Audio Connections

The connections between the QuadraVerb 2 and your studio are your music’s lifeline,

so use only high quality cables. These should be low-capacitance shielded cables

with a stranded (not solid) internal conductor and a low-resistance shield. Although
