Introduction
Thank you for downloading “MonitorMix” app for iOS or Android.
With “MonitorMix”, you can control MIX/MATRIX/AUX mixes wirelessly for your CL, QL or TF series mixer. Up to 10 units of MonitorMix can be
used with a mixer simultaneously, enabling each performer to create their own monitor mix in hand. Only the balance of the MIX/MATRIX/AUX
buses assigned to the performer can be controlled, ensuring that the monitor mix for other performers is not misused accidentally.

Operating environment
OS iOS 7.0 or later, Android 4.4 or later
Hardware iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch 5th generation or later, iPad 2 or later
Nexus 4/5/6/7/9/10/5X/6P is recommended for Android
Supported mixers and rmware Yamaha Digital Mixing Console CL/QL series V4.00 or later, TF series V1.12 or later
Wi-Fi settings
Configure Wi-Fi access point as instructed in the manual provided with your device. While no special settings are required, we recommend
setting up WPA2 or a similar form of security to prevent illicit access to your network from an external source.
Please refer to the following settings.
1. Assign the desired Wi-Fi network name (also called an “SSID”) to the Wi-Fi access point.
2. Select a wireless security protocol (WPA2, etc.) and set a password to the Wi-Fi access point.
3. Select the wireless mode (802.11n or ac).
4. When using “802.11n”, select the wireless band (2.4 or 5GHz).
5. If your Wi-Fi access point supports “Auto Channel Selection”, enable it.
This allows the wireless access point to automatically select the wireless channel with the least amount of interference.
We recommend selecting a 5GHz 802.11n or ac network for faster connections between your smart device and the Wi-Fi access point.
Additionally, using external antennas with your Wi-Fi access point (if supported) will make wireless connections to the access point more
reliable.

Preparation
Mixer network settings
1. Use a CAT5 cable to connect the mixer network port and the Wi-Fi access point.
Older access points that do not support AUTO-MDI/MDI-X require that you connect the console using a crossover cable. For access points
that support AUTO-MDI/MDI-X (most do today), you can use either a straight cable or a crossover cable.
2. Check that an Ethernet cable connects to the LAN port of your Wi-Fi device.
(Do not connect the Ethernet cable to the WAN port)
Wi-Fi settings on your smart device
Configure settings on your smart device using DHCP or a static IP address.
1. Tap the [Settings] icon on the Home screen.
2. Select [Wi-Fi].

MonitorMix User Guide 6
3. Tap the Wi-Fi access point you wish to connect to
from the list of available Wi-Fi access points.
4. Enter the password if asked.
5. For iOS users, tap the [Information] button for the Wi-
Fi access point.
For Android users, tap the [Advanced options] button
on the password entry screen.

MonitorMix User Guide 7
6. Select [DHCP] or [Static] (static IP address).
Configure the following settings when selecting Static.
IP Address Enter an IP address that only changes the fourth octet of the IP address of the mixer.
(For example, if the IP address for the mixer is “192.168.0.128”, enter an IP address like “192.168.0.127” for the smart
device.)
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Router Enter the IP address for the Wi-Fi access point
Typically this is printed on a label on the device itself or is listed in the device’s manual.
DNS Enter the IP address for the Wi-Fi access point
NOTE
•You can check the static IP address set on the mixer on the mixer SETUP screen or NETWORK screen.
•For a CL/QL series console, you can only set the static IP address. If you select DHCP to connect to Wi-Fi, set the range of IP addresses that the DHCP server or
the Wi-Fi access point assigns so that the IP address set for the CL/QL series is included in the same subnet. (For example, if the IP address of the CL/QL series is
192.168.0.128, set the range of DHCP from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.127.)
•The static IP address of each connected device should be set a unique IP address.
7. Press the Home button to close the [Settings] menu.
NOTE
•Make sure that the same subnet is set for the IP address as that set for the mixer unit.
•If DHCP settings cannot be applied after performing step 5 above, check the settings for the DHCP server in use. You can also use a static IP address and configure
OS settings.

MonitorMix settings
Tap the icon to launch MonitorMix.
The SELECT MIXER screen appears. You can perform the following actions on this screen.
•Enter Offline Demo mode to try out MonitorMix features and the user interface.
•Select a mixer on the network and start MonitorMix.
Offline demo mode
Tap [Offline Demo] on the SELECT MIXER screen to use application features even when MonitorMix is not connected to a mixer (offline). The
level meter will not appear in this mode. This mode assumes that you are connected to a TF5 AUX9/10. Additionally, while you are able to edit
groups (page 16), edited groups will not be saved.
Selecting a mixer and starting operation
Select a mixer from the list on the SELECT MIXER screen, and then tap
[Connect].

MonitorMix User Guide 9
If the number of MonitorMix connected to a mixer already exceeds
the maximum allowed (10), a block mark will appear on the left of
the IP address. Selecting a mixer with a block mark and pressing
the [Connect] button will result in an error message indicating that
connection is refused.
When MonitorMix has finished acquiring bus information from the mixer,
the SELECT AUX screen (TF series) or SELECT MIX/MATRIX screen
(CL/QL series) will appear.
Select the bus used for your own monitor mix from the list provided.
Tap [Done] to start synchronizing data. Tap [Cancel] to return to the
SELECT MIXER screen.
The FADER screen will appear when data synchronization is complete,
ending the MonitorMix preparation process.

MonitorMix User Guide 10
The PIN Authentication screen will appear when selecting a mixer with
PIN settings on the SELECT MIXER screen.
The SELECT AUX screen will appear when correctly entering the
PIN set on the mixer. An error message will appear when incorrectly
entering the PIN.
If a PIN is not set on the mixer, you will proceed directly to the SELECT
AUX screen without the PIN Authentication screen being shown.
Conguring and using PINs
You can configure a PIN (Personal Identification Number) to a mixer to prevent the accidental misuse of monitor mixes other than performers’
own mixes.
PIN settings
Setting and changing PINs are done in advance on the mixer.
Navigate from the SETUP screen to the NETWORK screen of TF series and CL/QL series mixers, then select “PIN for MonitorMix” to set PINs.
