M 18 Digital Mixer User’s Manual

MixRemote iOS app

The MixRemote app allows full control of the M 18 Digital Mixer, and links to the unit via a WiFi
connection.

Several enhancements are periodically added to the app, therefore we suggest to check periodically for updates
on the iTunes Store. +Before downloading the updated app, please verify on the release notes if there is the
requirement to upgrade the hardware unit via a firmware update before using the updated app.

When you first launch the app, you reach a welcome screen; at this point, you are still not connected to the
mixer itself. You have three options available:

Welcome screen

In this view, you can choose between the following:

Offline (M08): this feature is intended for the M08 model, is currently disabled and reserved for future
upgrades

OffLine (M18): you can browse all features of the app without the need to connect to a physical M 18 unit

Connect: the mixer connects to your control device in few seconds, provided that you have selected the
proper mixer WiFi Access Point

On the bottom row, you can modify the IP address of the target mixer; there is a button to recall the
default value intended for the internal WiFi Access Point

(only available on MixRemote ver 1.1.0 or newer)

.

After pressing Connect, you are directed to the real operative views of MixRemote.
