MAKING CONNECTIONS

Front Panel

1. XLR Jacks
These jacks accept XLR inputs for balanced signals. They can
be used in conjunction with microphones – such as professional
condenser, dynamic or ribbon microphones – with standard XLR
male connectors. With low noise preamplifiers, these inputs serve
for crystal clear sound replication.
NB. When using an unbalanced microphone, please ensure phantom power
is switched off. However, when using condenser microphones the phantom
power should be activated.
2. Combo Input Jacks
These inputs accept both XLR and ¼" phone jack inputs for
connection of microphones as well as various music instruments
– keyboards, drum machines, electric guitars, and other electric
instruments.
3. Stereo Channel Inputs
The CELEUS 400 features 4 stereo input channels (channels
5 through to 8), the inputs of which differ slightly to the mono
channels. Each channel includes two ¼" TRS phone jacks ideal
for use with keyboards, drum machines and electric guitars.
If you wish to use a mono device on a stereo return input, simply
plug the device's ¼" phone jack into the left (mono) stereo input
and leave the right input bare. The signal will be duplicated to the
right due to the miracle of 'jack normalizing'.
4. Stereo AUX Return
The 1/4" TRS AUX Return inputs are for the return of audio to
the CELEUS mixer, processed by an external signal processor. If
really needed, they can also be used as additional inputs. The feed
from these inputs can be adjusted using the AUX Return control on
the face of the mixer.

5. Control Room Outputs
These two 1/4" phone jack outputs are fed from the Control Room
mix as controlled by the Control Room level control. This output
has extensive use, as it can be used to feed the signal from the
mixer to an active monitor, for the monitoring of the audio signal
from within a booth, among many other possible uses.
6. Tape In (L and R)
These inputs accommodate RCA cables from such devices as
tape, CD and MP3 players. The line from this feed is directed to
the Tape In mix and controlled by the Tape In / USB Play level
control.
7. Record Out (L and R)
As with the Tape In ports, these outputs will accommodate RCA
cables, able to be fed to a variety of recording devices. This may
include cassette recorders or even laptop computers. Phonic
suggests the use of a y-cable. These cables include two RCA
connectors on one end and a single 1/8" mini-stereo jack on the
other end.
8. EFX Output
These 1/4" TS phone jack is the final output of the EFX mix, as
controlled by the individual EFX rotary controls found on each
channel. This can be used to feed any number of external signal
processors. The signal can then be returned to the CELEUS 400
through the AUX Returns.
