The MR18 offers three modes for network connectivity, selected via the "Remote Control" switch on the rear panel:

• Access Point (AP): The MR18 creates its own Wi-Fi network. This is ideal for direct control from a tablet or laptop without an external router.
• ໂປຣແກຣມ Wi-Fi: The MR18 connects to an existing Wi-Fi network. This allows control from devices already on that network and can provide internet access to the mixer (for firmware updates, etc.).
• ອີເທີເນັດ: Connect the MR18 directly to a computer or an external router via an Ethernet cable for a stable wired connection.

For detailed instructions on configuring each network mode, refer to the full software manual available on the MIDAS webເວັບໄຊ.

• iPad: M AIR App from the Apple App Store.
• Android: M AIR App ຈາກ Google Play Store.
• PC/Mac/Linux: M AIR EDIT Software from the MIDAS webເວັບໄຊ.

Once installed, launch the application and connect to your MR18 via the configured network connection.

6. Operating the MR18

The MR18 is controlled entirely through its dedicated software application. This section provides a general overview of key operational aspects.

6.1 ການດໍາເນີນງານພື້ນຖານ

• ແຖບຊ່ອງ: Each input channel in the software provides controls for gain, phantom power, EQ, dynamics (gate/compressor), and routing.
• ການປະສົມ: Adjust faders for individual channels and master outputs. Create auxiliary mixes for monitors or effects sends.
• ຜົນກະທົບ: The MR18 includes a virtual effects rack with various reverbs, delays, and modulation effects.

6.2 ການຕັ້ງຄ່າຂາເຂົ້າ/ອອກ

The software allows flexible routing of inputs to channels and outputs. You can assign physical inputs to any processing channel and route any mix bus or channel to the physical outputs.

6.3 Recording via USB

The MR18 features an 18x18 channel bidirectional USB2.0 audio interface. This allows you to record all 18 input channels directly to a connected computer (DAW software required) or play back 18 channels from your computer through the mixer.

6.4 Dugan-style Auto-Mixing

The MR18 incorporates Dugan-style auto-mixing, which automatically manages microphone gain sharing. This feature is particularly useful in multi-microphone setups (e.g., panel discussions, conferences) to reduce feedback and improve clarity by automatically attenuating unused microphones and boosting active ones.
