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 
www.yamahaproaudio.com  
  
StageMix is an application for the Apple iPad that provides remote control of Yamaha 
CL series digital mixing consoles 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
