Along with remote control, Wingman provides clear views of metering and timecode display on the larger screens of mobile devices. The touchscreen interface is easy-to-use and provides fast access to key MixPre functionality. With Wingman, you can:
- View meters, timecode, & frame rate
- Start/Stop audio recordings
- Enter & edit metadata
- Arm, disarm, & name tracks
- Tap the touchscreen to circle takes or designate false takes
- Undo last recorded file
- Remotely monitor meter levels
- Create sound reports on the mixer

Download the Wingman App for free from the Apple iTunes Store. A WM-Connect Accessory is required for the app to function with your MixPre 3 or 6-series mixer/recorder.
WM-Connect
WM-Connect uses Bluetooth Smart technology and comes with a right-angle USB A-to-B Adapter and a USB A-to-B Cable Adapter to connect to the MixPre USB port.
The WM-Connect Bluetooth Smart USB Dongle easily inserts into the USB-B port of the MixPre mixer. You would use one of the two A-to-B adapters provided to connect the dongle. If you are using a cart in your workflow, Sound Devices states the accessory can also be inserted into the keyboard port of an attached CL-12 linear fader controller.
Workflow Convenience
When multiple 6-Series mixers are on set and equipped with a WM-Connect, Wingman will display all available devices within range. Users may easily and efficiently switch connection from one mixer to another from within the app.
