The Behringer X AIR XR18 Digital Mixer is a versatile device designed to seamlessly work with iPad and Android tablets. It features 16 studio-grade MIDAS preamps, an integrated WiFi module, and a multi-channel USB audio interface, making it perfect for modern mixing workflows. The XR18 can be used both on the road and in the studio, and its iOS, Android, and PC apps allow users to control and manipulate their mix from anywhere in a venue or studio. If you’re looking for a mixer that offers complete control over your system, the XR18 is the one for you.
The XR18 also comes with built-in WiFi, offering increased mobility. This allows users to mix on the go and experience the mix from the audience’s perspective. It also enables the adjustment of live monitor wedges to hear the artist’s mix, or even allows the artist to mix their own in-ear and floor monitors using a personal tablet device.
One of the standout features of the XR18 is its Auto-Mixing capability. This feature is especially useful in scenarios where a multiple-microphone setup is required, such as panel discussions or press conferences. The X AIR Gain Sharing technology, based on the renowned Dan Dugan automix system, can effortlessly manage fully automated mixes with up to 16 live microphones. This technology controls the levels of all selected microphones in real time, eliminating gating artifacts and noise modulation. It significantly reduces feedback, studio noise, and comb filtering challenges that may occur when multiple mics are close to each other.
The XR18 is equipped with four FX engines, offering access to four true-stereo multi-effects processors. These processors include delay, chorus, and dynamics effects. The mixer can run studio-quality reverbs concurrently with 31-band EQ on the main and aux buses, without the need for additional hardware. It also features high-end simulations of legendary studio effects, such as the Lexicon 480L and PCM70, as well as the EMT250 and Quantec QRS reverbs. All effects run inside a low-latency environment, ensuring flawless performance and flexible routing.
