M7CL StageMix V4.5 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
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.
Note: iOS applications may not be supported in your area. Please check with your
Yamaha dealer.

1.0 System Requirements
• Apple iPad (any model including iPad mini)
• Yamaha M7CL digital mixing console with V3.5 firmware or higher
• Wi-Fi access point (preferably with 802.11n, 5GHz capability, though 2.4GHz
and 802.11g will also work)
• CAT5 cable (to connect the console to a Wi-Fi access point)
• iOS: iOS 5.0 - 7.x
2.0 Wi-Fi Settings
Configure the Wi-Fi access point, following the manufacturer’s instructions. No
special settings are needed, but using security such as WPA is highly recommended,
to prevent unwanted devices from joining the network. Here are some suggested
settings to assist less experienced Wi-Fi users:
1. Give the wireless network a name (this is the “SSID”).
2. Choose a security mode (such as WPA) and password.
3. Select the wireless mode (802.11g or n).
4. In the case of “n”, select the wireless band (2.4 or 5GHz).
5. If available, enable “Auto Channel Selection” so the wireless channel with the
least interference will be selected.
802.11n networks at 5GHz are preferred because they allow faster communication
between the iPad and the Wi-Fi access point. Practically, this could result in more
accurate level metering with the StageMix app. Also, with 802.11n being a newer
standard, it is less prone to interference from other wireless networks. Using a Wi-Fi
access point with 2 or more external aerials is recommended to increase potential
signal range. Booster aerials could be connected for a further increase in
performance.

3.0 Getting Started
3.1
M7CL Network Setup
Connect the Wi-Fi access point to the M7CL console’s network port via a
CAT5 cable. Note that a cross-over cable will be needed with older access
points that don’t have the “auto MDIX” function. Most recent devices will
support “auto MDIX”, in which case a straight CAT5 cable can be used.
Make sure your Ethernet cable is connected to a LAN port on your Wi-Fi
device and not the WAN port.
Note the IP address and MAC address of the M7CL console - they will need to
be entered into the iPad later. They can be found in the console as follows:
a. Press the [SETUP] button on the M7CL touchscreen
b. Press [NETWORK] on the M7CL touchscreen

5.0 EQ / PAN / DYNAMICS
The thumbnail area at the top of each channel strip displays an EQ curve, the
Pan position, or Dynamics status for that channel.
The buttons to the left of the thumbnails are used to select between EQ, PAN
and Dynamics mode by tapping on the left or right cursor button.
5.1
EQ
Every channel in the M7CL console has a dedicated Parametric EQ (PEQ).
M7CL consoles also have Graphic EQs (GEQs) that can be assigned
(inserted) on input or output channels.
Note: assignment of GEQs to channels must be done on the console and
cannot be done in StageMix.
5.1.1 EQ Curve in Mixer Window
The EQ curve section on the Mixer Window will show the user whether
a GEQ is available on any channel. If a GEQ is available on a channel
in addition to PEQ, the user will be able to view the curve for either of
these EQs and access the editing screen for either type of EQ.
Green and blue dots below each EQ curve indicate the types of EQ
available on that channel, and the type of EQ (PEQ or GEQ) that is
currently displayed for that channel. A green dot indicates PEQ and a
blue dot indicates GEQ. When only PEQ is currently available on a
channel, no dots will appear below the curve. (In Demo mode, GEQs
appear on Mix busses1, 7 and 8).
In the example above:
• Mix Bus 1 has both PEQ and GEQ available, and GEQ is currently being
displayed (the blue dot is solid and the curve is blue).
• Mix Bus 2 has both PEQ and GEQ available, and PEQ is currently being
displayed (the green dot is solid and the curve is green).

Yamaha Professional Audio
M7CL StageMix V4.5 User Guide
3 = High-Mid Band
4 = High Band
The current values for Freq, Gain and Q will be displayed for the currently
selected EQ band.
Gain and Frequency can be adjusted by dragging the circle around the graph.
Q is adjusted by using the iPad’s “pinch” gesture: hold one finger (or thumb)
on the screen while moving another finger closer or further away from the first.
TIP___________________________________________________________
The most comfortable and accurate way of adjusting Q is to use a vertical
pinch movement with the thumb and forefinger.
______________________________________________________________
While an EQ band is being moved, the
parameter value will turn yellow to
indicate that it has changed. The little
arrows show which direction the band
should be moved to return to its
previous position.
In some cases, it may be necessary to adjust the gain without altering the
frequency. Or to adjust the frequency without changing the gain. In this case,
the “Gain Lock” or “Frequency Lock” functions can be used. These buttons
are located at the top of the EQ graph.
The “Lock” buttons affect all 4 bands (but not the HPF). When a band is
adjusted, the locked parameter value becomes red. The lock function is
automatically turned off when you navigate to a different channel or select a
different EQ band.
5.2.1 HPF
When any input channel is selected in the EQ Editing Screen, an [HPF]
button appears at the top of the EQ graph. Press this button to switch
the HPF on/off. When the button is green, the HPF is On. HPF has no
Gain or Q parameter: only frequency.
