Behringer X Air XR18 Digital Mixer

The Behringer X Air XR18 is a powerful 18-input digital mixer designed to deliver professional mixing capabilities in a compact, rackmountable format. With built-in Wi-Fi, comprehensive digital processing and flexible remote control, the XR18 is ideal for live performances, rehearsals, recording, houses of worship, theatre productions and other applications where space and flexibility are important.

The XR18 features 16 MIDAS-designed microphone preamps with programmable gain, providing excellent sound quality and plenty of headroom for microphones and instruments. The additional line inputs give you a total of 18 input channels, while the 18 x 18 USB audio interface allows the mixer to integrate directly with a computer for multitrack recording and playback.

Mixing and control can be handled remotely using the X AIR Edit software for Mac, PC and Linux, as well as the X AIR apps for iOS and Android. This allows engineers and performers to control the mixer from a tablet or computer without needing to be positioned beside the hardware.

The XR18 includes extensive onboard processing, including 4-band parametric EQ, gate, compressor and insert effects on input channels, plus high-quality X32-style effects. Its sixteen programmable buses provide flexible routing for monitor mixes, subgroups and other applications, while the built-in 100-band real-time analyser (RTA) makes it easier to monitor and fine-tune your mix.
