Premium sound with Midas preamps
The Behringer X AIR X18 digital mixer boasts 16 award-winning,
fully programmable Midas preamps that deliver audiophile sound
quality. These preamps ensure superior audio capture, making the
X18 perfect for both live performances and studio recordings.
Integrated WiFi for ultimate mobility
The X18 comes with a built-in tri-mode WiFi router, allowing you
to control the mixer?s functions without needing an external
router. This feature gives you the freedom to move around the venue
and adjust settings from anywhere using an iPad, Android tablet, or
laptop. You can connect up to 4 clients directly in Access Point
mode, join an existing network in WiFi Client mode, or use wired
connections via Ethernet.
Advanced recording capabilities
With an 18 x 18 bidirectional USB audio interface, the X18
allows for direct recording to your iPad, PC, or Mac. This makes it
an incredibly powerful digital mixing solution for capturing live
performances or studio sessions with exceptional clarity. The USB
interface supports up to 16 microphone signals and MIDI notes for
comprehensive recording.
Revolutionary Auto-mixing technology
The X18 features revolutionary Dugan-style auto-mixing
technology that automatically manages microphone gain, ideal for
setups with multiple microphones. This function helps maintain
consistent system gain, reducing feedback, studio noise, and comb
filtering challenges, ensuring clear and balanced sound even with
multiple speakers.
High-end FX engines
Equipped with the same FX engines as the renowned X32 Digital
Mixing Console, the X18 includes four true-stereo multi-effects
processors. You can choose from high-end simulations of legendary
studio effects such as Lexicon 480L, PCM70, EMT250, and Quantec
QRS. This onboard processing allows you to achieve studio-quality
effects without additional hardware.
Precise EQ with 100-band RTA
The X18 features a 100-band Real Time Analyzer (RTA) for all
channel and bus EQs, providing detailed visual feedback for precise
frequency adjustments. The RTA can be displayed on top of the
31-band graphic EQs in the main and aux buses, making it easy to
monitor and control frequencies.
Comprehensive connectivity and control
The mixer includes 6 TRS aux outputs, 2 XLR main outputs, a
stereo RCA output, and a phones connector. It also supports MIDI
In/Out for control via external MIDI devices and the Mackie Control
protocol. Free iOS, Android, PC, Mac, and Linux apps are available
for remote operation, ensuring you can control the mixer from any
device.
Flexible and easy-to-use design
The X18 features an ultra-wide tray that accommodates tablets,
iPads, and mini notebooks, making it a versatile launch pad for
your digital mixing needs. Its internal WiFi router and dedicated
apps provide a user-friendly experience, allowing you to focus on
delivering the best sound quality.

Combining advanced engineering from Midas, Klark Teknik, and
Behringer, the X AIR X18 offers exceptional sound quality, flexible
control, and a robust feature set. This digital mixer is a powerful
tool for both live and studio environments, providing
professional-grade performance at an affordable price.
