Welcome:
Thank you for downloading the “QL StageMix” iPad app for the Yamaha QL series
digital mixing consoles.
The latest firmware version for QL series can be downloaded from
https://www.yamaha.com/proaudio/
StageMix is an application for the Apple iPad that provides remote control of Yamaha
QL 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 QL series digital mixing console V4.0, V4.1, V4.5 or V5.0 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 - 11.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 QL StageMix V7 User Guide

3.0 Getting Started
3.1 QL series Network Setup
Connect the Wi-Fi access point to the QL 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 QL 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 QL series touchscreen
b. Press [NETWORK] on the QL 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.
a) Open the iPad “Settings” menu
b) Select “Wi-Fi”, and choose the correct Wi-Fi Access Point under
“CHOOSE A NETWORK…”
Yamaha Professional Audio QL StageMix V7 User Guide
Page 9
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 QL 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 QL StageMix V7 User Guide
Page 10
d) Select [Static]
e) IP Address: enter an IP Address similar to the one for the QL series
console, but with just the last number different. (For example, if QL
series console is 192.168.0.10, give an address to the iPad such as
192.168.0.1).
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 QL 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.
Yamaha Professional Audio QL StageMix V7 User Guide
Page 11
3.3 StageMix Setup
Launch the “QL 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 QL StageMix.
• Configure StageMix to work with a QL console.
• Select a QL 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 QL series Console
i. Press [ADD MIXER] to open the following screen:
Yamaha Professional Audio QL StageMix V7 User Guide
Page 12
ii. Tap on the blank Name field and enter a name for your QL series
console using the iPad’s onscreen keyboard.
iii. Enter the QL 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 QL 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 QL series console.
v. Press the [ADD MIXER] button at the bottom of the screen.
Note: From StageMix V6 onwards, it is no longer necessary to enter the
console MAC Address.
3.3.3 Select a Mixer
If your iPad has been configured to work with a QL series console,
select the mixer from the list. (The model of mixer (QL1 or QL5) will
appear in smaller text below the mixer’s name.)
Yamaha Professional Audio QL StageMix V7 User Guide
Page 13
3.3.4 Connect and Synchronize with the QL Console
Click the [CONNECT] button to connect to the console and begin the
synchronization process.
The message “Syncing With QL…” 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
The parameters of a saved Mixer Configuration can be viewed and
edited by tapping the right arrow button next to a mixer’s name. This
will open the Edit Mixer screen which allows the Name and IP Address
to be verified and edited using the procedures described in section
3.3.2. After editing, press [SAVE MIXER] to save any changes.
Yamaha Professional Audio QL StageMix V7 User Guide
Page 14
4.0 Mixer Window
The main page of the StageMix is called the “Mixer” window. It shows the EQ
curves, Pan positions, Dynamics status, [CUE] and [ON] buttons, faders, level
meters, and channel names and colours for eight adjacent channels.
Across the top of the screen, level meters and faders are displayed in blocks
of channels for mono Input Channels 1-32, Stereo Input Channels 1-8, Mix
and Matrix busses, and the Master Stereo and Mono busses. This is the
“Navigation/Meter Bridge”.
From StageMix Version 7, there is a new option in the Navigation/Meter
Bridge to access the “Custom Fader Layer” view. Refer to section 4.2.1
for
details.
4.1 Channel Bank Navigation
Press any of the “Navigation/Meter Bridge” blocks to select the bank of
channels to be viewed and controlled in the channel strips below.
4.2 Layer Navigation
Press the [CH 1-32] or [CH 33-64] button to make those banks of channels
available in the “Navigation/Meter Bridge”. Stereo Inputs 1-8 are available in
both banks.
The Layer Navigation button displays black text on a white background to
indicate the active Layer.
Yamaha Professional Audio QL StageMix V7 User Guide
Page 15
Note: these buttons do not appear when using an QL1 console as only one
bank of input channels is available.
4.2.1 Custom Fader Layer
Press the [CUSTOM] button in the meter bridge to access the Custom
Meter Bridge layout.
To assign a fader bank to a meter bridge block, touch and hold on a
fader/meter block. An assignment pop-up menu will be displayed which
contains a list of all available fader banks for the connected console
model, including all standard fader banks, DCA banks and Custom
Fader Banks. Touch the desired fader bank to assign it to the chosen
fader block. Repeat this operation to assign multiple fader banks to the
available meter bridge blocks.
Yamaha Professional Audio QL StageMix V7 User Guide
Page 16
Left/Right navigation buttons can be used to navigate to other meter
blocks without leaving the assignment pop-up. To exit the assignment
pop-up, touch anywhere outside of the pop-up or touch the close button
in the top right corner.
On the far-right side, is the master block. This block can be assigned as
either the standard master bank (as found in the standard meter bridge
in StageMix), or as the custom master bank as set on the console.
Please note, it is not possible to edit Custom Fader Bank channel
assignments from StageMix. Please use the Console or QL Editor for
this function.
4.2.2 Custom Fader Bank Naming
Once a fader bank has been assign to a meter bridge block, a name
can be given to the bank.
Double tap on the desired fader bank to open the keyboard. Once a
name has been applied, press [return] to close the keyboard. A
maximum of 8 characters can be used for the bank name.
Use the left/right arrow keys to move to other banks, to name those
banks without having to close the keyboard and re-select the next bank.
The bank name is now displayed under the applicable fader block in the
meter bridge.
The name is linked to the chosen fader bank, not the block position in
the meter bridge. If a named fader bank is changed to a different meter
bridge block location, the name of that bank will automatically follow.
Yamaha Professional Audio QL StageMix V7 User Guide
Page 17
Please note, in order to name a fader bank, it is first necessary to
assign the bank to the meter bridge.
4.2.3 Storing of Custom Meter Bridge Layout and Names
The assigned custom meter bridge fader bank layout and naming’s, are
stored as part of the currently in-use Mixer Preset – as created in the
front page of StageMix.
If a Mixer Preset is deleted or the console model is edited, the
associated layout and naming’s will also be deleted.
4.3 Channel Names and Colours
The name and colour of each channel appears in StageMix as it does in the
QL series console. The names are dimmed if the channel is switched off.
Double-tap on the channel name in the Mixer window to edit the name and
colour. Type in a name and press [return]. Alternatively, navigate to another
channel using the left/right cursor buttons above the keyboard. This allows
multiple channels to be named before closing the keyboard.
4.4 Faders
Each fader has its channel number displayed on its cap. The fader cap must
be touched to allow the level to be adjusted. When a fader cap is touched, its
background will lighten and its current dB value will be displayed. Using the
iPad’s multi-touch facility, up to eight faders can be moved simultaneously.
Note: “Multitasking Gestures” must be turned Off in the iPad in order to allow
four or more faders to be adjusted simultaneously (refer to 11.8 for details).

4.4.1 Long Faders
Press the [LONG FADERS] button at the bottom-left corner of the Mixer
window to allow more accurate adjustment of fader levels. In this view,
EQ, Pan, Dynamics and the “Navigation/Meter Bridge” are not visible.
4.4.2 Navigation in Long Faders Mode
Although the “Navigation/Meter Bridge” is not visible in Long Faders
mode, it is possible to navigate up or down in banks of 8 channels
using the left/right arrow buttons in the upper left area of the Mixer
window.
Press the [LONG FADERS] button in the bottom-left corner again to return to
the Mixer Overview.
4.5 Channel ON
Press [ON] to change the on/off status of the channel. The button is green
when the channel is on. When a channel is off, its name and level meter will
dim and its fader position shown in the “Navigation/Meter Bridge” will also dim.
If a channel is muted as part of a Mute Group, the ON button will blink.
4.6 CUE
The [CUE] buttons for each channel control the mixer’s Cue functions. Their
operation mode corresponds to the status of the Cue Mode in the Setup
screen (refer to 10.10
).

When [LAST CUE] mode is active, only one channel can be cued at a time.
When [MIX CUE] mode is selected, multiple channels can be cued
simultaneously.
The [CUE CLEAR] button will cancel any cues that have been activated. This
is useful when there are multiple cues to cancel, and when some are hidden in
other layers.
4.7 Dual Cue Mode
With V4 firmware and higher, a second cue bus (Cue B) can be created using
Matrix 7/8. This assignment can be made in the console only.
4.7.1 Channel Mode
In Channel mode, every channel in the console can be assigned to one
of the following Channel Settings:
• A
• B
• A+B
These assignments will be displayed as part of the CUE button for
every channel in StageMix:
If a Cue for a channel is active, the Cue button will be yellow.
4.7.2 Cue Clear
In Channel Mode, a popup will appear when the [CUE CLEAR] button
is pressed. This provides a choice of which Cue busses will be cleared:
• [A]
• [B]
• [ALL]
4.7.3 Remote Mode
In Remote mode, Cue functions in StageMix will exclusively control the
Cue B Bus.
If the [CUE CLEAR] button is pressed, the Cue B Bus will be cleared.
4.8 SOLO Mode
When SOLO mode is ON, the [CUE] buttons in StageMix change to [SOLO]
buttons. These buttons turn red when they are enabled.
Note: this does not apply if Remote mode is also active.
Yamaha Professional Audio QL StageMix V7 User Guide
Page 20
SOLO mode effectively operates in addition to Cue mode. When a
channel is Soloed, it is also Cued.
If Remote mode and SOLO mode are both active, StageMix will control
the Cue B Bus and Solos will be accessible from the console only.
If SOLO mode is used along with Dual Cue Channel Mode, the [SOLO]
buttons will also include A and B indicators to identify their Cue bus
assignments.
4.9 Master Bank
Pressing the [Master] block in the “Navigation/Meter Bridge” will cause
channels from the master section to appear in the fader strips. Included in this
block are the Stereo Master channel, Mono Master channel and the Monitor
Level and On control.
Note: there are two EQ thumbnails above the Stereo Master channel.
Parametric EQ is always linked for the left and right sides of the Stereo Master
channel. However, it is possible to have independent GEQs assigned to the
left and right side of the Stereo Master.
