Premium sound with Midas preamps
The Behringer X AIR X18 digital mixer boasts 16 award-winning, fully programmable Midas preamps that deliver audiophile sound quality. These preamps ensure superior audio capture, making the X18 perfect for both live performances and studio recordings.
Integrated WiFi for ultimate mobility
The X18 comes with a built-in tri-mode WiFi router, allowing you to control the mixer’s functions without needing an external router. This feature gives you the freedom to move around the venue and adjust settings from anywhere using an iPad, Android tablet, or laptop. You can connect up to 4 clients directly in Access Point mode, join an existing network in WiFi Client mode, or use wired connections via Ethernet.
Advanced recording capabilities
With an 18 x 18 bidirectional USB audio interface, the X18 allows for direct recording to your iPad, PC, or Mac. This makes it an incredibly powerful digital mixing solution for capturing live performances or studio sessions with exceptional clarity. The USB interface supports up to 16 microphone signals and MIDI notes for comprehensive recording.
Revolutionary Auto-mixing technology
The X18 features revolutionary Dugan-style auto-mixing technology that automatically manages microphone gain, ideal for setups with multiple microphones. This function helps maintain consistent system gain, reducing feedback, studio noise, and comb filtering challenges, ensuring clear and balanced sound even with multiple speakers.
High-end FX engines
Equipped with the same FX engines as the renowned X32 Digital Mixing Console, the X18 includes four true-stereo multi-effects processors. You can choose from high-end simulations of legendary studio effects such as Lexicon 480L, PCM70, EMT250, and Quantec QRS. This onboard processing allows you to achieve studio-quality effects without additional hardware.
Precise EQ with 100-band RTA
The X18 features a 100-band Real Time Analyzer (RTA) for all channel and bus EQs, providing detailed visual feedback for precise frequency adjustments. The RTA can be displayed on top of the 31-band graphic EQs in the main and aux buses, making it easy to monitor and control frequencies.
Comprehensive connectivity and control
The mixer includes 6 TRS aux outputs, 2 XLR main outputs, a stereo RCA output, and a phones connector. It also supports MIDI In/Out for control via external MIDI devices and the Mackie Control protocol. Free iOS, Android, PC, Mac, and Linux apps are available for remote operation, ensuring you can control the mixer from any device.
Flexible and easy-to-use design
The X18 features an ultra-wide tray that accommodates tablets, iPads, and mini notebooks, making it a versatile launch pad for your digital mixing needs. Its internal WiFi router and dedicated apps provide a user-friendly experience, allowing you to focus on delivering the best sound quality.
