4、ular effects processors of the micro series. Similar in performance to the MicroVerb, the NanoVerb is a scaled down version. Combining the well known power of Alesis custom processing with small size and affordability, the MicroVerb IV (Product Code C4) and NanoVerb (Product Code NV) are based large

5、ly on the design of the MidiVerb IV. The MidiVerb IV custom chip set, along with the latest ADC and DAC technology help make the C4 and NV two of the most powerful signal processors in their price ranges. Particularly in the NV the use of surface mount technology helps push the envelope of size and

6、weight verses performance. Reference designators for the C4 are taken from the Rev. C schematic. Reference designators for the NV are taken from the Rev. B schematic and are denoted by brackets when components are functionally similar to the C4. Note that for both of these units there are several di

7、fferent main PCB revisions. There are no functional differences between these revisions. However, it should be noted that older PCB revisions will have some wire jumpers that later rev.s incorporated into the PCBs. Figure 1 shows the simplified block diagram of the C4. As the NanoVerb is even simple

8、r, there is no need to simplify it beyond the schematic. Figure 1 C4 Service Manual Confidential V1.01 收音机爱好者资料库 Ra d i o Fa n s .CN 10-22-02 Test Procedures C4 Self Test The MicroVerb 4 has two self test modes which allow the user to run diagnostic tests. In Individual Test mode, the user can selec

9、t particular tests to run. In All Test mode, the MicroVerb 4 runs all of the tests in series. - Power up the unit while holding down the Bank button. To enter Individual Test mode: - Use the Value Dial to select which test to run (each test is described below). - Press Store to execute the test. Whe

10、n the test is complete, you can either select another test to run or exit Individual Test mode by holding Bank and pressing Store. - Power up the unit while holding down the Store button. To enter All Test mode: C4 Individual Test Descriptions 4 t0: ROM Test. If the unit passes, the MicroVerb 4 will

11、 display P0 and exit the test automatically. If the unit fails, the MicroVerb 4 will display F0 and wont exit the test. In this case, the user must press Bank to exit. 4 t1: EEPROM Test. If the unit passes, the MicroVerb 4 will display P1 and exit the test automatically. If the unit fails, the Micro

12、Verb 4 will display F1 and wont exit the test. In this case, the user must press Bank to exit. 4 t2: LED Test. Lights up all the LEDs (first, column by column; then row by row). The C4 automatically exits this test. 4 t3: Switch/Encoder Test. Checks the buttons and the rotary encoder. The user must

13、press every button AND rotate the encoder in both directions in order for the test to pass. After doing this, the user should hold Bank and press Store. If at this point all of the buttons have been pressed (i.e., the unit passed), then the MicroVerb 4 will display P3 and exit the test. If instead n

14、ot all of the buttons have been pressed, the MicroVerb 4 will display F3. The user can either restart the test (by pressing Store) or exit the test (by pressing Bank.) 4 t4: Edit Knob Test. Checks the Edit A/B knobs. The user must rotate each knob to show all values (0 to 127) in order for the test

15、to pass. To exit the test, press Bank. 4 t5: MIDI In/Out Test. Before running this test the user must connect a MIDI cable from the MIDI Out to the MIDI In of the unit. If the unit passes, the MicroVerb 4 will display P5 and exit the test. If the unit fails, the MicroVerb 4 will display F5 and wont

16、exit the test. In this case, the user must press Bank to exit. 4 t6: DSP RAM Test. If the unit passes, the MicroVerb 4 will display P6 and exit the test automatically. If the unit fails, the MicroVerb 4 will display F6 and wont exit the test. In this case, the user must press Bank to exit. Additiona

17、l Test Procedures Audio Test. Plug an audio source into the Left Input. Dont plug anything into the Right Input. Verify that audio is passed through (the Input meters should light). Next, test the Right Input (with nothing in the Left Input). Finally, plug a different audio source into each of the I

18、nputs. Verify that the Left Output passes audio from the Left Input and verify that the Right Output passes audio from the Right Input. In addition, all knobs should be turned through the entire range to ensure 1. Audio potentiometers are smooth and there are no audio dropouts or “scratching” noises

19、 heard, and 2. Edit knobs/data wheels correctly switch/change the corresponding parameters in accordance with the units User Reference Manual.

24、g While this manual assumes that the reader has a fundamental understanding of electronics and basic troubleshooting techniques, a review of some of the techniques used by our staff may help. 1. Visual Inspection - A short visual inspection of the unit under test will often yield results without the

25、 need of complex signal analysis (burnt, or loose components are a dead giveaway). 2. Self Test - Alesis products that utilize microprocessor control contain built in test software which exercises many of the units primary circuit functions. Self test should always be done following any repair to en

26、sure basic functionality. 3. Environmental Testing - Applying heat and cold (heat gun/freeze spray) will often reveal thermally intermittent components (Clock crystals, I.C.s, and capacitors are particularly prone to this type of failure). 4. Burn in Testing - Leaving a unit running overnight often

27、reveals intermittent failures such as capacitors that begin to leak excess current after a significant amount of time. 5. Cable Checks - Wiggling cables can reveal intermittent failures such as loose cables or poorly soldered headers. Remember to check power supply cables as well. 6. Flexing the PC

28、Board - Poor solder joints and broken traces can often be found by pressing the PC Board in various places. 7. Tapping Components - Sometimes tapping on a component (particularly crystals) will cause it to fail. 8. Power Down/up - Turning the unit off and back on rapidly several times may reveal odd

29、 reset and/or power supply failures. 9. Reset Threshold - A Variac (variable transformer) can be used to check reset threshold levels. This can be particularly useful in helping customers with low line problems. 10. Compressors - Using a compressor/limiter is often helpful when attempting to solve l

30、ow level noise problems, as well as assisting with DAC adjustments. 11. Sweep Tests - Sweep generators are very useful in checking the frequency response envelopes of anti-aliasing filters. 12. Piggybacking - Piggybacking I.C.s is particularly useful when troubleshooting large sections of logic. This is especially true when working with older units. C4 Service Manual Confidential V1.01
