LS9 StageMix User Guide

Welcome:

Thank you for downloading the “LS9 StageMix” iPad app for the Yamaha LS9-16 and

LS9-32 digital mixing consoles.

StageMix provides remote control of LS9 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 LS9

parameters, but is focused on the requirements for adjusting monitor mixes on

stage.

1.0 System Requirements

•Apple iPad (any model)

•Yamaha LS916 or LS9-32 digital mixing console

•WiFi access point (preferably with 802.11n, 5GHz capability, though 2.4GHz

and 802.11g will also work)

•CAT5 cable (to connect LS9 to WiFi access point)

2.0 WiFi Settings

Configure the WiFi 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 WiFi 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 WiFi access point. Practically, this could result in more

accurate level metering with the StageMix app. Also, with 802.11n being a new

standard, it is less prone to interference from other wireless networks. Using a WiFi

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 LS9 Network Setup

I. Connect the WiFi access point to the LS9’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.

II. Note the IP address and MAC address of the LS9 - they will need to be

entered into the iPad later. They can be found in the console as follows:

Press the [SETUP] button on the LS9 to access the MISC SETUP screen

3.2 iPad WiFi Settings

The iPad needs to be given a static IP address in the same range as the LS9’s

IP Address.

a. Open the iPad “Settings” menu

b. Select “Wi-Fi”, and choose the correct network

c. Press the blue circle with the white arrow to the right of the selected

network to edit the IP address.

Yamaha Commercial Audio LS9 StageMix V1.0 User Guide

Page 6

d. Select [Static].

e. Write an IP Address similar to the one for the LS9, but with just the last

number different. (For example, if LS9 is 192.168.0.128, give an

address to the iPad such as 192.168.0.127).

f. Enter “255.255.255.0” for the Subnet Mask.

g. Press the iPad’s Home button to exit the Settings menu.

3.3 StageMix Setup

Launch the “LS9 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 LS9 StageMix.

•Configure StageMix to work with an LS9 console.

•Select an LS9 console that has already been configured to work with your

iPad and begin using StageMix.

Yamaha Commercial Audio LS9 StageMix V1.0 User Guide

Page 7

3.3.1 OFFLINE DEMO

If [OFFLINE DEMO] is pressed in the “Select Mixer” screen, all 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 will not work in this mode.

3.3.2 Configure StageMix to Work with an LS9

i. Press [ADD MIXER] to open the following screen:

ii. Tap on the blank Name field and enter a name for your LS9 using the

iPad’s onscreen keyboard.

iii. Enter the LS9 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

LS9 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).

Yamaha Commercial Audio LS9 StageMix V1.0 User Guide

Page 8

iv. Enter the LS9 MAC address noted in 3.1. When entering the MAC

Address, the colons between sets of characters will be automatically

added by StageMix.

v. Select the Model of LS9 console from the choices of LS9-32 or LS9-16.

vi. Press the [ADD MIXER] button at the bottom of the screen

3.3.3 Select a Mixer and Begin Working

If your iPad has been configured to work with an LS9 console, select the mixer

from the list and press [CONNECT]. (The model of mixer (LS9-32 or LS9-16)

will appear in smaller text below the mixer’s name.)

The message “Syncing With LS9…” will appear while StageMix is obtaining

parameters from the console. This process will normally take about 10 seconds.

After this process is complete, the Mixer window will appear and StageMix is

ready to be used.

If StageMix cannot connect with your LS9, refer to the Troubleshooting section

(5.0) at the end of this document for possible solutions.

4.0 StageMix Operation

4.1 Mixer Window

The main page of the StageMix is called the “Mixer” window. It shows the EQ

curve, CUE and ON buttons, fader and level meters, and channel names and

colors for eight adjacent channels.

Across the top of the screen, level meters and faders are displayed in blocks

for mono Input Channels 1-32, Stereo Input Channels 1-4, Mix and Matrix

busses, and the Master Stereo and Mono busses. This is the

“Navigation/Meter Bridge”.

4.1.1 Channel Bank Navigation

Press any of the “Navigation/Meter Bridge” blocks to select which bank of

channels is viewed and controlled in the fader strips below.

4.1.2 Layer Navigation

Press the [CH 1-32] or [CH 33-64] button to make those banks of channels

available in the first four blocks in the “Navigation/Meter Bridge”.

The Layer Navigation button displays black text on a white background to

indicate the active Layer.

Note: these buttons do not appear when using an LS9-16 console as only

channels 1-32 are available in the first four blocks.

4.1.4 Faders

Each fader has its channel number displayed on its cap. The fader cap

must be touched to allow the level to be adjusted. The fader will not

“jump” or “ramp” to a new position on the slider. 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.

4.1.5 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 go dim, and its fader position shown in the

“Navigation/Meter Bridge” will also go dim.

4.1.3 Channel Names and Colors

The channel names are

obtained from the LS9 mixer.

They cannot be edited in

StageMix. The names are

dimmed if the channel is

switched off. A bar above

each channel name displays

the color for each channel as

assigned in the LS9.
