Behringer X AIR XR18 Digital Mixer

The Behringer X AIR XR18 is an 18x12 digital mixer built into a rugged stage box for live sound and studio recording. It provides 16 Midas-designed programmable mic preamps and operates wirelessly via a built-in Tri-Mode Wi-Fi router controlled from iPad, Android, Mac or Windows devices. A bidirectional 18x18 USB interface handles multitrack recording and playback directly.

Suits engineers who need portable wireless control

This mixer suits front-of-house engineers and recordists who want to move around the venue while adjusting a full mix from a tablet. It is not for operators who require motorised faders, dedicated hardware knobs per channel, or a control surface that works without a separate smart device. Buyers needing more than 16 mic inputs or more than 8 XLR outputs should look at larger frame consoles.

16 Midas preamps with 40-bit DSP

The unit centres on 16 award-winning Midas-designed mic preamps fed into a 40-bit floating-point DSP engine. That architecture delivers the headroom and processing depth for 100-band RTA analysis, Dugan-style auto-mixing and four stereo effects slots from the X32 effects rack. ULTRANET and MIDI I/O expand monitoring and integration options for the target workflow.

Questions about this item

What is included in the box and do I need to buy a tablet or router separately?

The XR18 mixer ships as a standalone stage box. A tablet running iOS or Android is required for control and is not included. The built-in Tri-Mode Wi-Fi router provides a direct wireless link, so no external router is needed.

Should I choose the 16-combo-input version or the 18-channel USB version for my session?

Both figures describe the same unit. The 16 combo XLR-1/4" inputs handle microphones and line sources, while the 18x18 bidirectional USB interface streams 18 channels to and from a computer simultaneously.

How does the 40-bit floating-point DSP affect latency and headroom when mixing live?

The 40-bit floating-point engine provides extensive internal headroom and precision for 100-band RTA, 4-band EQ, 4 stereo FX slots and Dugan-style auto-mixing without audible degradation.
