Audiophile sound with Midas preamps
The Behringer X AIR XR18 mixer is equipped with eight
award-winning, fully programmable Midas-designed mic preamps, known
for their superior sound quality. These preamps ensure pristine
audio capture, making the XR16 perfect for both live performances
and studio recordings.
Integrated WiFi for ultimate mobility
The XR18 comes with a built-in tri-mode WiFi router, allowing
direct control of 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. The mixer supports Access Point mode for direct
connections, WiFi Client mode to join an existing network, and
wired connections via Ethernet.
USB connectivity and stereo recording
The front panel USB type-A connector enables uncompressed stereo
WAV recording and playback. This allows you to capture live stereo
tracks directly to a USB flash drive or hard drive, making it easy
to record performances and playback background music during
breaks.
Advanced auto-mixing and FX engines
The XR18 features revolutionary Dugan-style auto-mixing
technology that automatically manages microphone gain, ideal for
applications with multiple microphones like panel discussions and
press conferences. The mixer includes the award-winning X32 effects
rack, offering four stereo FX slots with high-end simulations of
classic studio effects such as the Lexicon 480L and PCM70.
Precise EQ with 100-band RTA
The built-in 100-band Real Time Analyzer (RTA) provides detailed
visual feedback for all channel and bus EQs, enabling 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 XR18 offers 6 aux buses and main LR outputs, each with
inserts, full dynamics processing, and 6-band parametric or 31-band
graphic EQ. It includes 2 TRS aux outputs, 2 XLR main outputs, and
a phones connector. The mixer also supports MIDI In/Out for control
via external MIDI devices, including the Mackie Control
protocol.
Flexible apps and software
Free iOS, Android, PC/Mac, and Linux apps are available for
remote operation via Ethernet, LAN, or WiFi. The X AIR EDIT
software for PC/Mac/Linux allows for comprehensive control of the
mixer, including routing and FX editing. The X AIR apps for iPad
and Android provide full access to mixing functions, making it easy
to adjust settings from mobile devices.
