X AIR XR18

No, the XR18 is designed for tablet control. You can connect your iPad or Android tablet directly to the mixer's built-in WiFi router to adjust levels and processing wirelessly.

Yes, it features an 18x18 channel bidirectional USB interface. This allows you to record all 16 preamp inputs plus the stereo line inputs directly into your recording software with ultra-low latency.

The built-in Tri-Mode router is convenient for smaller setups, but for high-stakes professional environments, we recommend connecting an external high-quality wireless router via the Ethernet port to ensure a stable, interference-free connection.

Dugan-style auto-mixing automatically manages the gain of multiple microphones in real-time. It is particularly useful for panel discussions or conferences, as it lowers the volume of inactive mics to reduce background noise and feedback.

The XR18 features 16 Midas-designed preamps that provide the same transparent, high-headroom performance found in many of Behringer's larger digital consoles, ensuring professional-grade audio quality in a compact 3U rackmount format.

The four stereo FX engines are internal to the mixer's signal path, allowing you to apply effects like reverb, delay, and chorus to your channels or buses. They are designed to emulate legendary hardware processors and are controlled directly through the mixing software.
