M7CL StageMix V3.0 User Guide
Welcome:
Thank you for downloading the "M7CL StageMix" iPad app for the Yamaha M7CL digital
mixing consoles. This version of StageMix is for use with M7CL firmware V3.5 and higher.
The latest firmware version for M7CL can be downloaded from
www.yamahaproaudio.com
StageMix is an application for the Apple iPad that provides remote control of Yamaha M7CL
digital mixing console functions via a simple, intuitive graphical interface from anywhere
within wireless range. The software has been specifically designed to allow engineers to
adjust monitor mixes from the performers' positions on stage, directly controlling mix
parameters via the iPad rather than having to rely on verbal directions to a second engineer.
The result is better mixes in less time; a huge advantage during high-pressure pre-show
setup. Although StageMix is focused on the requirements for adjusting monitor mixes on
stage, its range of features is continually expanding, allowing it to be used for a wider variety
of remote control functions.
