INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing one of Phonic’s many quality
compact mixers. The CELEUS 100 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 100 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
around the middle point of the control.
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. For channels 2 and 3, which do
not feature a gain control, adjust the level controls
appropriately.
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.
