Clean, detailed sound
At the heart of the XR18 are 16 fully programmable Midas-designed mic preamps, built to capture vocals and instruments with clarity and consistency. Perfect for if you're mixing a live band, recording a rehearsal, or running a spoken-word event, these preamps provide the headroom and control needed for reliable results. This mixer gives you Proffessional utility at an entry level price point.
Built-in WiFi for flexible wireless mixing
An integrated tri-mode WiFi router allows direct wireless control without requiring external networking hardware. You can adjust levels, routing, EQ, and effects from an iPad, Android tablet, laptop, or desktop computer, making it easier to mix from different positions in the room. Access Point, WiFi Client, and Ethernet modes give you multiple setup options depending on the venue.
18 x 18 USB recording interface
The XR18 includes an 18 x 18 bidirectional USB interface for multitrack recording and playback with your computer. This makes it well suited to recording live performances, tracking rehearsals, or integrating into a project studio setup. USB connectivity also allows the mixer to function as part of a compact recording rig without needing extra hardware.
Automatic gain sharing for multiple microphones
Dugan-style auto-mixing helps manage gain sharing across open microphones automatically, reducing setup time in speech-based applications. This is especially useful for panel discussions, presentations, meetings, and broadcast-style environments where several microphones may be active at once.
Onboard X32 effects and detailed EQ control
Four stereo effects slots are included from Behringer's X32 effects rack, with a range of reverbs, delays, modulation effects, and dynamic processors available for shaping your mix. A built-in 100-band real time analyser gives clear visual feedback across channel and bus EQs, helping you make more accurate frequency adjustments during soundcheck and performance.
Versatile outputs and monitoring options
With six aux buses and main left/right outputs, the XR18 gives you plenty of routing flexibility for monitors, external processors, and front-of-house duties. Each bus includes inserts, dynamics processing, and parametric or graphic EQ, while Ultranet connectivity allows integration with Behringer P-16 personal monitoring systems.
Remote apps for multiple platforms
Free control apps are available for iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux, making it easy to operate the mixer from the device that suits your workflow. X AIR EDIT software provides full access to routing, effects, and system settings, while the mobile apps are ideal for quick adjustments during rehearsals and live shows.
