The ‘In’ selector routes
line level
audio signals from the
I
N
1-4
inputs on the rear panel of Nord Modular
G2 to your patch. You can also use a dynamic microphone in the XLR
M
IC
I
NPUT
on the rear panel.
This input has a built-in preamp and you control the input gain with the
M
IC
G
AIN
knob on the front
panel. If you use a dynamic microphone in the XLR
M
IC
I
NPUT
, the line level
I
N
1
jack will automati-
cally be disabled. The
M
IC
I
NPUT
signal can then be patched from the Out 1 (or L) output of the Input
modules. A total of four separate audio signals can be patched into the system at a time.
If you use the
I
N
1-4
inputs it’s important that you amplify the input signals to line level externally to get
good sound quality. If you put in too low a signal and amplify it, using for example the Pad scroll button
or the Amplifter module, the sound quality won’t be good. The reason for this is that the internal ampli-
fication is digital, and a low analog input signal will result in low resolution. A low resolution signal that
is digitally amplified will sound distorted.
Note: If you want to process a stereo input signal, any processing modules (filters etc.) has to be dupli-
cated in the patch and process one “channel” each.

The Pad scroll button on the Input and Output modules can be used to attenuate or
amplify the signals. On the Input modules you can select between 0dB, -6dB, -12dB
and +6dB and on the Output modules between 0dB, +6dB, +12dB and +18dB.
Note that the four audio Bus channels are parallel and
can be used by Patches in the Slots in no specific order.
