INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing one of Phonic's many quality compact
mixers. The CELEUS 400 compact mixers – designed by the
ingenious engineers that have created a variety of mixers fantastic
in style and performance in the past – displays similar proficiency
that previous Phonic products have shown; with more than a few
refinements, of course. The CELEUS 400 features full gain ranges,
amazingly low distortion levels, and incredibly wide dynamic
ranges, just showing the dominance these small machines will
have on the pro audio market.
We know how eager you are to get started – getting the mixer out
and hooking all your gear up is probably your number one priority
right now – but before you do, we strongly urge you to take a look
through this manual. Inside, you will find important facts and figures
on the set up, use and applications of your brand new mixer. If you
do happen to be one of the many people who flatly refuse to read
user manuals, then we just urge you to at least glance at the Basic
Setup section. After glancing at or reading through the manual (we
applaud you if you do read the entire manual), please store it in
a place that is easy for you to find, because chances are there's
something you missed the first time around.

BASIC SETUP
Getting Started
1. Ensure all power is turned off on your mixer. To totally ensure
this, the power supply should not be connected to the unit.
2. All faders and level controls should be set at the lowest level and
all channels switched off to ensure no sound is inadvertently
sent through the outputs when the device is switched on. All
levels can be altered to acceptable degrees after the device is
turned on using the channel setup instructions.
3. Plug any necessary equipment into the device's various
outputs. This could include amplifiers and speakers, monitors,
signal processors, and/or recording devices.
4. Plug the supplied power cable into the inlet on the back of the
device and then into a power outlet of a suitable voltage.
5. Turn the power switch on and follow the channel setup
instructions to get the most out of your mixer.
Channel Setup
1. To ensure the correct audio level of the input channel is
selected, each of the level input controls of the mixer should be
turned counterclockwise or down as far as they will go.
2. No input other than the one being set should have any device
plugged in. This will ensure the purest signal is used when
setting channels.
3. Set the level control of the channel you are setting to the 0 dB
mark.
4. Ensure the channel has a signal sent to it similar to the signal
that will be sent when in common use. For example, if the
channel is using a microphone, then you should speak or
sing at the same level the performer normally would during a
performance; if a guitar is plugged into the channel, then the
guitar should also be strummed as it normally would be (and
so on). This ensures levels are completely accurate and avoids
having to reset them later.
5. Set the gain so the Level Meter indicates the audio level is
around 0 dB.
6. This channel is now ready to be used; you can stop making the
audio signal.
7. You can repeat the same process for other channels.
