Welcome:
Welcome:
Thank you for downloading the “CL StageMix” iPad app for the Yamaha CL series
digital mixing consoles.
The latest firmware version for CL series can be downloaded from
http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/
StageMix is an application for the Apple iPad that provides remote control of Yamaha
CL series 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 using iOS 8 or higher)
Yamaha CL series digital mixing console with V4.0, V4.1, V4.5 or V5.x
firmware
Wi-Fi access point (802.11g, n or ac)
CAT5 cable (to connect the console to a Wi-Fi access point)
iOS: iOS 8.0 -12.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, n or ac).
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.
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.
Yamaha Professional Audio CL StageMix V8 User Guide

3.0 Getting Started
3.1 CL series Network Setup
Connect the Wi-Fi access point to the CL series console’s network port via a
CAT5 cable.
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 of the CL series console - this will need to be entered into
the iPad later. It can be found in the console as follows:
a. Press the [SETUP] button on the CL series touchscreen
b. Press [NETWORK] on the CL series touchscreen
3.2 iPad Wi-Fi Settings
The iPad can be configured using either DHCP or a Static IP address.
3.2.1 Using DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that
enables a server to automatically assign an IP address to a device. It is
recommended to use DHCP. Use the following steps to configure your
iPad using DHCP.
Yamaha Professional Audio CL StageMix V8 User Guide
Page 10
a) Open the iPad “Settings” menu
b) Select “Wi-Fi”, and choose the correct Wi-Fi Access Point under
“CHOOSE A NETWORK…”
c) Tap on the network’s name to edit the IP address.
d) Select [DHCP] and ensure that your iPad receives data for the IP
Address, Subnet Mask, Router and DNS.
e) Select [Renew Lease] if this data is not applied.
f) If the settings are successfully applied, press the iPad’s Home
button to exit the Settings menu.
Note:
Make sure that the subnet of the IP address is the same as that of
the CL series console.
If DHCP settings are not applied after step (e), please check your
DHCP server settings (refer to 11.4
for further advice). Alternatively,
setup your iPad using a Static IP Address.
3.2.2 Using a Static IP Address
a) Open the iPad “Settings” menu
b) Select “Wi-Fi”, and choose the correct Wi-Fi Access Point under
“CHOOSE A NETWORK…”
c) Tap on the network’s name to edit the IP address.
Yamaha Professional Audio CL StageMix V8 User Guide
Page 11
d) Select [Static]
e) IP Address: enter an IP Address similar to the one for the CL series
console, but with just the last number different. (For example, if CL
series console is 192.168.0.128, give an address to the iPad such
as 192.168.0.124).
f) Subnet Mask: enter “255.255.255.0”.
g) Router: enter the IP Address of your Wi-Fi Access Point (printed on
the bottom of the device or in the user’s manual)
h) DNS: enter the IP Address of your Wi-Fi Access Point (as in step g)
i) Press the iPad’s Home button to exit the Settings menu.
3.2.3 Network switching (V7.0 and later)
If using iOS 9.3 and later with CL StageMix V7.0 and later, you can
connect to a network using a wired connection in addition to a wireless
connection. A Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter and USB Ethernet
Adapter are required to use a wired connection.
You can switch between a wireless and wired connection when offline;
you cannot switch while online.

3.3 StageMix Setup
Launch the “CL StageMix” App
The “Select Mixer” screen will appear. From this screen, you can do any of
the following things:
Access the OFFLINE DEMO mode to explore the features and user
interface of CL StageMix.
Configure StageMix to work with a CL console.
Select a CL console that has already been configured to work with your
iPad and begin using StageMix.
3.3.1 OFFLINE DEMO
If [OFFLINE DEMO] is pressed in the “Select Mixer” screen, the
functions of StageMix will operate independently of any mixing console.
It is a useful way to demonstrate and learn how to use the app without
the need for a mixer. Level meters and most Scene Memory functions
do not work in this mode.
3.3.2 Configure StageMix to Work with a CL series Console
i. Press [ADD MIXER] to open the following screen:
Yamaha Professional Audio CL StageMix V8 User Guide
Page 13
ii. Tap on the blank Name field and enter a name for your CL series
console using the iPad’s onscreen keyboard.
iii. Enter the CL series console’s IP address noted in 3.1. The default IP
Address may not need to be changed but confirm this in the Network
Setup screen of the CL series console (refer to
3.1). If you need to
modify the IP Address in StageMix, make sure you include the dots
between the sets of numbers (as shown above). If the entered console
IP address is in a compatible range with the iPad’s current IP address
(displayed beneath), a green tick will be displayed to the right of the
console IP address. If the entered IP address is in-compatible range
with the current IP address of the iPad, a red cross is displayed
please enter a console IP address in a compatible range.
Please note, having a green tick displayed does not mean that the
entered console IP address for the console is accurate or that the
console has been automatically detected. Please check the console for
the currently assigned IP address to ensure that the correct address is
being entered into StageMix.
iv. Select the Model of CL series console.
v. Press the [ADD MIXER] button at the bottom of the screen.
vi. For reference, the currently assigned IP address of the iPad is
displayed beneath the console model buttons.
Note: From StageMix V6 onwards, it is no longer necessary to enter the
console MAC Address.
Yamaha Professional Audio CL StageMix V8 User Guide

3.3.3 Select a Mixer
If your iPad has been configured to work with a CL series console,
select the mixer from the list. (The model of mixer (CL1, CL3 or CL5)
will appear in smaller text below the mixer’s name.)
3.3.4 Connect and Synchronize with the CL Console
Click the [CONNECT] button to connect to the console and begin the
synchronization process.
The message “Syncing With CL…” will appear while StageMix is
obtaining parameters from the console. After this process is complete,
the Mixer window will appear and StageMix is ready to be used.
Up to 5 iPads running StageMix can be connected to the console
simultaneously.
If StageMix cannot connect with your console, refer to the
Troubleshooting section (11.0) at the end of this document for possible
solutions.
3.3.5 Edit Mixer Configurations

10.14 Channel Select StageMix Follows Console
When this preference is ON, the currently selected channel in the StageMix
Parametric EQ, Graphic EQ and Dynamics screens will follow the Selected
Channel in the CL series console.
Note: Whenever the selected channel has no GEQ inserted, StageMix should
close the GEQ view and return to the fader view.
Please note, when a GEQ is accessed via the Rack screen in StageMix, then
StageMix will not follow the console selected channel, because the GEQ in
StageMix has been accessed from the rack, not from a channel.

will follow the currently selected channel in the Parametric EQ, Graphic EQ

11.0 Troubleshooting
11.1 No Wi-Fi Available
If this message appears after launching StageMix, this indicates that the iPad
is not connected to a Wi-Fi access point or that Wi-Fi may be switched off in
the iPad. Refer to sections 2.0 and 3.2
for details about Wi-Fi hardware
configuration and iPad Wi-Fi settings.
11.2 Connection Error
If this message appears after selecting a mixer and pressing [CONNECT], this
indicates that StageMix cannot connect to the console. This may be due to
incorrect IP Address settings in either the console or StageMix or some other
network error. Verify that the settings in the console match the settings in
StageMix. Refer to 3.1 and 3.3.2 for details about these settings. This
problem will also occur if the console is not turned On.

11.3 Connection Lost
If StageMix loses its connection to the console, the following message will
appear. Operation of StageMix is not possible while this message box is
onscreen. StageMix will automatically attempt to reconnect to the console.
If this is successful, StageMix will re-synchronize with the console data and
operation will become available again.
11.4 DHCP Server Setup on WAP/Router
a) Log onto the web control page of your Wireless Access Point or Router
using a web browser.
b) Enable the DHCP server.
c) Set the upper and lower limits of the IP addresses the DHCP server can
assign.
d) Ensure your console’s IP address is outside this range, or reverse its IP
address (e.g. DHCP range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.127 when the
console’s IP address is 192.168.0.128)
Note: not all Wireless Access Points will feature a DHCP Server. In those
cases, please setup your iPad using a Static IP Address.
11.5 Using StageMix with CL Editor
If DHCP is used on the iPad and the CL Editor is being used simultaneously,
care must be taken with regard to the IP address of the computer used for the
Editor. In this case, it may be necessary to use DHCP on the computer rather
than a Static IP Address.

11.6 Redirect to InternetProblem with iOS 6 or higher
Since the release of iOS 6 or higher, your iPad may try to access the Internet
at the time of selecting a Wi-Fi network. Depending on the set-up or model of
your Wi-Fi device (Router or Access Point), the message "cannot connect with
the Internet" may appear on your iPad screen and StageMix might be unable
to connect with a console.
Internet access is unnecessary for the connection between StageMix and
console and it is recommended that you should not have an internet
connection when using StageMix. So if you experience this problem, you can
prevent this message from appearing by disabling the "Redirect Function for
Internet connection" in your Wi-Fi device. Please ask the Wi-Fi device
manufacturer about the way to disable "Redirect Function for Internet
connection".
11.7 Graphic EQ Doesn’t Affect the Sound
If a Graphic EQ is assigned to an input channel or Mix/Matrix bus but it doesn’t
seem to be affecting the sound on that channel, it could be that the Insert for
that channel has been switched Off. Check the state of the Insert ON switch
in the console.
11.8 Problems Moving Multiple Faders
If Multitasking Gestures is ON, it may not be possible to move more than three
faders simultaneously in StageMix. When using StageMix, it is recommended that
Multitasking Gestures be turned OFF.
a. Open the iPad “General” menu
b. Set the button for “Multitasking Gestures” to OFF
If the "Zoom" function in the "Accessibility" menu is ON, it may not be possible to
move more than two faders simultaneously in StageMix. When using StageMix, it
is recommended that "Zoom" be turned OFF.
a. Open the iPad "General" menu.
b. Select "Accessibility,” and then set the button for “Zoom” to OFF.
