2. Enter your smartphone or tablet’s Bluetooth setup
options to find the “Phonic.BT” Bluetooth device.

Note: Not all modern Bluetooth-enabled devices allow for use of external

USB MODULE STORAGE
The CELEUS USB player module features approximately
70MB of onboard storage to use for playback. That may
sound small but that could mean up to 60 minutes of music
at 128 Kbps, or a few hours of speech at 40 Kbps.
To upload files to the onboard storage, you will need a
USB-A to USB-A cable. Connect the USB connector on
the face of the CELEUS to your computer and it will be
recognized as a USB storage device. Simply copy your
files to the CELEUS TUBE.
Files on onboard storage will only be available when a USB
flash drive is not connected.
AUDIO INTERFACE
By simply connecting the USB cable provided along with
your CELEUS to the device and your personal computer
or laptop, you are able to send DVD quality (16-bit stereo,
with a 48 kHz sampling rate) signal to and from your mixer.
By doing this, you are actually turning your CELEUS
TUBE into a highly useful plug’n’play soundcard for your
computer.
The USB sends an audio stream of the Main Left and Right
(record out) signal of your mixer to the computer. You can
use almost any dedicated Digital Audio Workstation (DAW)
software to record the signal from the CELEUS mixer. You
can also set the mixer as your default audio device.
The USB interface also returns a stereo audio signal from
your computer back to channel 3 of the CELEUS. Ensure
the USB AUDIO button is engaged.
Windows
1. Turn on both the CELEUS and the computer.
2. Connect the CELEUS mixer to the computer via the
provided USB cable.
3. Let Windows find the device and install an appropriate
driver.
4. Enter the Control Panel and select Sounds and Audio
Devices.
5. When here, go to the Audio tab and select the “USB
Audio Codec” as your default sound recording and
playback device.
6. Depending whether you have Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 or
10, this may differ slightly, but the setting can always be
found within the Control Panel’s audio menu.
7. If you don’t want to use the CELEUS as your default
audio device, you can simply enter your DAW or other
audio program and select it as your default device in the
program only.
8. Be sure to set your minimum buffer settings to 64
samples as to avoid clicks and pops.
