Five Simple Steps
1. Get the iPad (and Wi-Fi Router):
Ah, the easiest step of the bunch...
or is it? Simply grab your iPad and
Wi-Fi router. But first...
...where did I leave that darn thing?
Is it in the bedroom? The bathroom?
Did I leave it at work? Wait, the dogs
are using it...that's right!

the closest
place to get their
favorite doggie
treats, it's time for
you to get going.
Ruh, good doggie!
One of the exciting features
of this mixer–iPad marriage is the
ability to mix wirelessly. Although
not required for wired operation,
be sure that your Wi-Fi router is
nearby, as we will be discussing
wireless connectivity shortly.
The exact hardware needed
for wired and wireless functionality
depends on the DL Series mixer
and iPad in use. Make sure you
have the right iPad, mixer dock
and tray insert for your combination.

Matrix on the DL Series website
