Behringer X AIR XR18
18-channel Digital Mixer
for iPad/Android Tablets
with Wi-Fi and USB Recorder
Overview
The X Air XR18 from
Behringer is a 18-input portable rack-mountable mixer for iPad and Android
tablets. It can be used for both live and studio environments in applications
such as live stage, theater, houses of worship, rehearsals, and more. It
features sixteen Midas-designed mic preamps and an integrated Wi-Fi module for
wireless control, giving you the ability to move around and manipulate all
parameters of your mix. Furthermore, it has USB connectivity for file storage
and future system updates. The built-in USB stereo recorder can record your
live tracks uncompressed directly to your iPad or PC. You can then dial in a
monitoring mix with effects and zero latency, while sending your stereo mix and
the keyboard player's MIDI notes to your DAW for recording.
- The X Air XR18 has
additional features included as well, such as the MIDI in/out jack for
controlling the mixer via MIDI equipment using Mackie control protocol via a
live performance controller. This mixer also comes with several Behringer
effects, such as a Leisure compressor and leveling amplifier, mid/sides Fair
compressor, a 5-band Combinator compressor, modulation delay, Sub Octaver, and
an Edison EX1 that allows you simple manipulation of the stereo field. Finally,
the XR18 includes a Sound Maxer and a dimensional chorus effect, which can help
you to restore natural brilliance and clarity to the original audio signal.
Whether you're recording in the studio, or you want to capture intimate live
performances, it's never been easier to record professional-sounding tracks
with clarity.

Midas – The Legend in Sound Quality
- Ever since its formation in the 1970s, Midas has had a
long history of innovation and leadership in the world of audio mixing
consoles. Employed by the most famous touring acts and installations worldwide,
legendary Midas consoles such as the XL4 and Heritage H3000 quickly became
industry standards.
- Midas has earned their impeccable reputation due to their
no-compromise approach for audio and build quality and in particular for their
award-winning Mic Preamps which are considered by industry experts as the
industry’s best sounding designs. Building on this legacy, the XL8 and PRO
Series of Live Mixing Systems continue this great heritage of award-winning
audio quality.

experience what every part of the audience is hearing. Plus you can adjust live
monitor wedges from the artist’s perspective – or better yet, let them mix
their own IEMs and floor monitors via their own tablets
- Access Point is the easiest way to connect up to 4
clients directly and concurrently (i.e., iPad, Android smartphone/tablet or

wireless network where the controlling apps and devices are connected.

your PC, to a local area network (LAN), or when connecting to a dedicated Wifi
router, e.g., for extended range or 5 GHz applications.
