M7CL StageMix V1.5 User Guide 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

Welcome: 

 

Thank you for downloading the “M7CL StageMix” iPad app for the Yamaha M7CL V3 
digital mixing console.  Via a wireless access point, StageMix can control any variant 
of M7CL console so long as it is running V3 or higher firmware. 
The latest firmware version for M7CL can be downloaded from 
www.yamahaproaudio.com  
 

StageMix provides remote control of M7CL 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.  StageMix does not provide remote control of all M7CL 
parameters, but is focused on the requirements for adjusting monitor mixes on 
stage.
