Designed for the ultimate in mobility, the X18 comes with an integrated Wi-Fi module for direct control of your mixer’s functions without the need to set up and configure an external router. The X18 gives you the freedom to focus on your mix, while allowing you to move about the venue to 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 laptop). This mode should have your remote control up and running in less than a minute.
• Wi-Fi Client allows you to add your mixer to the existing wireless network where the controlling apps and devices are connected.
• Alternatively, wired connections can be made directly to your PC, to a local area network (LAN), or when connecting to a dedicated Wi-Fi router, e.g., for extended range or 5 GHz applications.

• The incredibly fast and comprehensive 18 x 18 channel, bidirectional USB interface makes the X18 an amazingly powerful digital mixing solution for recording directly to your iPad or PC. Dial in the perfect monitoring mix with effects and zero-latency, while sending up to 16 microphone signals and the keyboard player’s MIDI notes to your DAW for recording.
• Whether you’re making rock history in the studio or you want to capture intimate live performances, it’s never been easier to record stunning tracks with exceptional clarity.

• When your application calls for a multiple-microphone setup, such as an onstage panel discussion, press conference or courtroom proceeding, etc., it can become a challenge to maintain so many open mics and preserve maximum gain and priority for the moderator.
• A major first for compact audio mixers, our revolutionary X AIR Gain Sharing technology can easily manage fully automated mixes with up to 16 live microphones. Based on the legendary Dan Dugan automix system, the X18’s gainsharing paradigm automatically controls the levels of all selected microphones in real time, without any gating artifacts or noise modulation.
• This function dramatically reduces the typical feedback, studio noise, and comb filtering challenges that can occur when two or more mics are in close proximity to each other. X AIR Gain Sharing technology provides a consistent system gain structure, even when multiple speakers are talking at the same time.

• Equipped with the very same FX engines as the now legendary X32 Digital Mixing Console, the onboard virtual FX Rack provides access to four true-stereo (8 mono), multi-effects processors including delay, chorus, and dynamics, plus the X18 can run production-quality, true-stereo reverbs concurrently with 31-band EQ on the main and aux buses, all without the need for any additional hardware.
• You can select any combination of high-end simulations of legendary studio effects, such as the Lexicon 480L and PCM70, as well as the EMT250 and Quantec QRS reverbs. Onboard processing means your computer doesn’t have to do the heavy lifting during a mixing session with DAW plugins as the X18 has a whole studio of FX under its hood.
• Custom-designed, and physically modeled after some of the most iconic and sought-after processors, all effects run inside the low-latency environment of the X32 mix engine, ensuring flawless performance, flexible routing and the end of cable faults forever.

• The X18 includes a high-resolution 100-band Real Time Analyzer (RTA), with full Bar and Spectrograph views. This high-resolution RTA displays the audio energy distribution in 100 frequency bands over time, capturing a sonogram window of a full 10 seconds.
• Switch between the Large RTA view, displaying any available signal in full screen resolution, or the Combined RTA view shown above each of the channel and bus EQ curves, and see the results of your filtering choices. Additionally, the RTA can be displayed on top of the 31-band graphic EQs in the Main LR or Aux buses. Monitoring and controlling frequencies have never been easier!

The easy way to send sound, Behringer's ULTRANET connectivity allows you to send 16 digital sources over a lightweight and easy-to-deploy Cat 5 cable to P16-D Digital ULTRANET Distributors, or directly to P16-M Personal Monitor Mixers. This powerful and advanced technology makes it easy for individual performers to create their own "more me" mix and frees you to put on your best show. ULTRANET also provides the perfect conduit for sending your mix to the Turbosound iQ Series loudspeakers, which can tap into the 16-channel digital bus directly.

While most tablet mixers only work with iOS-compatible tablets, the X18 is an equal-opportunity launch pad for your dreams, thanks to its ultrawide tray that accepts Windows/Mac/Linux mini-notebooks and tablets, Android devices, and iPads of all sizes. By using an internal Wi-Fi router and a suite of ultra user-friendly dedicated apps, the X18 is the one tablet mixer on the market that accommodates the world's most popular operating systems.

• The XR18 allows you to achieve the same incredible level of EQ finesse as the award-winning X32 thanks to its 100-band Real Time Analyzer, which is built into every input channel and bus EQ. Visual feedback built into the control app allows you to see and make fast, surgical adjustments to frequencies in need of a boost or a cut.
• Every input channel also features Low-Cut, 4-band fully parametric EQ and the same Gate and Compressor dynamics suite found in the X32 with one very special addition; you can choose either Expert or Simple functionality. In Expert mode, you can drill down and get your hands on every nuance of your dynamics. Or, if you’re more of the ‘plug and play’ type, Simple mode lets you either select from one of our 4 carefully optimized presets or load your own channel templates. Add to this 40-bit, floating-point DSP and you’ll experience virtually “unlimited” dynamic range with no internal overload and near-zero overall latency.
• In addition to the Main L/R bus for Front of House, 6 Aux buses are provided for dialing in the perfect monitor mixes, or creating a dedicated mix for your USB stereo recording—complete with inserts, dynamics, and either a 6-band parametric EQ or 31-band graphic EQ. And if all these outstanding EQ options put a smile on your face, you’ll love it even more when we tell you that 100-band RTAs are available for these as well.

The physical MIDI I/O port on the X18 mixer can also be used for connecting external MIDI controllers, such as our X-TOUCH or B-CONTROL products, for dynamically controlling channel level, muting, and panorama adjustments during your performance. And since the full-featured X18 also supports the Mackie Control protocol, you easily apply comprehensive remote editing and parameter adjustments via any compatible MIDI devices.

If your application requires a computer for Behringer X AIR mixer remote control, the X AIR EDIT was made just for you. Simply copy and launch the free software with your computer, connect to the mixer via its built-in Ethernet (LAN) connector using a Cat 5 cable (max 328' length) and all X AIR mixer functions are instantly mirrored on your computer screen. Since your PC screen is larger than the one on your telephone, X AIR EDIT allows you to open and scale more app windows, such as for routing or FX editing, letting you decide how much information you need at a glance. All touch screens are supported, or you can use a mouse to adjust your physical mixer's settings. You can even control multiple mixers remotely from a single computer or create several strategically placed computer stations to control the same mixer.

iPad

• Front of House is wherever you and your iPad are thanks to the X AIR MIX app for iPad. Simply download the free app to your iPad, set the Behringer X AIR mixer to Access Point mode and connect your iPad to the X18 network that will show up. After launching the X AIR MIX app, select the mixer image, and all of your X AIR mixer’s settings can be adjusted directly from your iPad. You can save your favorite scenes and load previously stored scenes and presets to/from your iPad or customize your channel layout, all with the support of innovative drag ’n’ drop functionality.

Android

• Designed specifically for all Android mobile devices (2.2 or higher), which includes tablets and smartphones, the app can be used in one of two modes: full access mixing mode or bound to a specific aux bus for creating personal monitor mixes remotely on Behringer X AIR mixers. Using this free and easy-to-learn app, each performer can use their Android device to dial-in the perfect personal IEM or wedge monitor mix, without having to consult the audio engineer for assistance. With the X AIR MIX App for Android, personal monitor mixing just got a whole lot more personal both live and in the studio! But it doesn’t stop there; in full access mixing mode, the app provides control over all channel processing, including the RTA overlay, effects editing, storing/loading scenes or presets, and much more—whether you’re running a 12" tablet or a 5" smartphone.
