X AIR How To: WiFi Tips

----------

In this video, we provide some tips for successfully using WiFi with the X AIR series of digital mixers.

in regards to multiple units, I was able to run a xair 18 and x air 16 simultaneously with two different ipads... we use the 16 channel for drums and percussion then run a stereo out to two channels on the x air 18. .. works like a charm!!

Hi John, I use XR18 and an X-touch using an external router, connected to my MacBook Pro with USB/LAN adapter, and everything is works fine, but if I need to use internet so I need to join my mobile phone shared network for example, then I need to unplug my LAN/USB adapter from my MacBook and the internet starts working by wifi after that. Is it possible to use the wifi connection with my mobile phone's shared internet and the LAN connection use to control the XR18 via a router? Thank you very much!

Looks great to me!

Just a quick question - how does the X AIR series of mixers perform if they lose connection to the control device? Do they just carry on as they were set before connection was lost?
I ask because I'm investigating using one in a scenario without an operator, set up and left "headless" without a control device to provide PA requirements in a place where it isn't appropriate to leave controls available. Would that work? Or would it stop working once the control is disconnected?

Hi there, i'm just in the process of buying one of these...first digital mixer. Going to try the X12. Just wondered what differences this has other than fewer channels? Also we play music from a tablet...could this be sent wirelessly from the unit we use to control the mixer from?

[robgroden]

Not sure if you can recommend an external router, but could you tell me what I should be looking for in one? I've seen price ranges from $30-$300. Thank you

[oddbjrnmage]

I my antenna broke. There's all kinds of different ones online. Which one should I get?

[rajsaunders]

Hi... I live on a private island in the Exuma Cays, known as Compass Cay. Here, we don't have the luxury of having a dial up internet service with the local provider so having WI-FI is out of the question. I tried asking questions to a few online providers such as sweetwater but I haven't gotten a reply as yet, sooo, understanding that this mixer has an integrated WI-FI module, does this mean that I can connect my iPad to it's WI-FI or use a direct connection with a Ethernet cable and it'll work just find?

Please be very specific! Thank You!

Hi guys. Had a gig last night and due to the number of other wifi devices I couldn't connect to my x18 at all..is there anyway to change its internal router wifi channel if you can't connect at all? Assume no unless hardwired via ethernet? Tks

[afincaomuzik]

John, I've been able to secure the network via iPad. For some reason, I've still never been able to connect through the access point on my Macbook pro, therefore I'm unable to update the firmware, and also control the mixer with my laptop. Is there anything you can suggest to alleviate this problem?

[jakobsimonsen]

Hi Can you connect a preamp to the input 5-12 of the X-air12 so you get 12 mic channels instead of only 4?

[manticore]

Thanks for the video. I was really frustrated after 2.gig test last Friday and nothing seems to work ( ipad over XR-18 wifi Access point and open network). I believed there was a failure with the unit itself.  However, I was able to solve all problems by anongst other seeing this video, installing the PC program and do all the settings from here. (tried via the Ipad first, but without success. As Martinez pointed out, the "apply" onscreen button on the ipad App does not work. In addition, the PC program is much, much better than the Ipad App and adds more features. Now, I have 3 options and backup if something should go wrong during a gig.

Looks Great ! Can you tell the range of the Wifi connection ?

Hi! I've have kinda problem. When I'm home, go to connect to the XR WiFi with my Ipad 2, and control it, no problem at all. But, after a while, my Ipad display goes off, like it always does because no interaction with the device, and automatically connects to my house WiFi. So when I sweep the screen to control it, I have to connect one again to the XR WiFi... every single time... what am I doing wrong? Is there a way to make the Ipad to connect to the XR WiFi always?? Thanks!
