18-channel, 12-bus digital mixer for iPad/Android tablets with 16 programmable MIDAS preamps, integrated WiFi module and multi-channel USB audio interface.
The revolutionary With its 16 award-winning MIDAS mic preamps, convenient built-in WiFi module for wireless control, and ultra-fast bi-directional USB audio interface, it's ideal for live and studio applications.
Built-in Tri-Mode WiFi router
Designed for optimal mobility, the XR18 comes with a built-in WiFi module for direct control of your mixers' functions without the need to install and configure an external router. The XR18 gives you the freedom to focus on your mix, while still allowing you to move around the room to experience what each part of the audience is hearing. Additionally, you can adjust the monitor wedges live from the artist's perspective or, better yet, let them mix their own IEMs and floor monitors via their own tablets.
Simplified registration
The incredibly fast and comprehensive 18 x 18 channel bi-directional USB interface makes the XR18 an incredibly powerful digital mixing solution for recording directly to your iPad or PC. Dial in the perfect monitoring mix with effects and zero latency, while sending up to 16 mic signals and keyboard MIDI notes to your DAW for recording. It's never been easier to record stunning tracks with exceptional clarity.
Revolutionary automatic mixing
A major first for compact audio mixing consoles, Behringer's revolutionary X AIR Gain Sharing technology makes it easy to manage fully automated mixes with up to 16 live microphones. Based on the legendary Dan Dugan automix system, the XR18's gain-sharing paradigm automatically controls the levels of all selected microphones in real time, without any trigger artifacts or noise modulation.
This feature greatly reduces the typical feedback, studio noise and comb filtering problems that can occur when two or more mics are in close proximity to each other. X AIR Gain Sharing technology provides a consistent system gain structure, even when multiple speakers are speaking at the same time.
4 integrated X32 effects engines
Featuring the same FX engines as the now legendary X32 digital mixing console, the built-in virtual FX Rack provides access to four truly stereo (8 mono) multi-effects processors, including delay, chorus, dynamics and the production-quality stereo reverbs simultaneously with 31-band EQ on the main and aux busses, without any additional hardware.
