General
Behringer isn't the first company to come out with a mix rack, though this one has a number of functions that make it particularly nice. This mix rack is a good compromise between a break-out box for live use and an audio interface for studio use. It has 12 analogue inputs, four of which are equipped with a preamplifier. Controlling this rack is easy via a tablet of phone, and the XR12 can connect to Wi-Fi so you can quickly and easily connect your device to it. Furthermore, you'll find that the XR12 has four internal stereo FX processors (8 mono) with an impressive variety of studio-quality effects, making the rack ideal for versatile engineers.
Behringer XR12: impressively complete
Mixing with a tablet reaches new heights with the XR12. You can use it with iOS, Android, Mac, PC and Linux, and you can connect via Wi-Fi or via a LAN network. The internal effects are from the popular X32 and are modelled after famous classical studio effects. Each channel can be equipped with a gate, a 4-band EQ and a compressor. Furthermore, each output can be equipped with a 6-band EQ, a compressor and a 31-band EQ. When you use the XR12 for recording, you can apply the real-time effect to your recordings without affecting your CPU capacity.
Overview
The four microphone inputs are equipped with real Midas preamps. Midas is known for producing professional mixing consoles that are used in many large-scale productions. The XR12 also has a MIDI input and output so you can connect your MIDI controller directly; you can easily control the mixer in this way via the Mackie HUI protocol. A separate USB input is also available for easily recording audio to a USB stick. Finally, rack mounts are included in the purchase so you can safely use the XR12 in a rack.

Helemaal als je kijkt naar de effecten / mogelijkheden.
Ik heb mijzelf helaas niet goed genoeg ingelezen in de mogelijkheden en de verschillen tussen de 12, 16 en 18 . Zo kun je met de 18 wel maar met de 16 en de 12 niet!!!! je geluid per spoor digitaal doorsturen naar een DAW ( in mijn geval Cubase) Dat had ik dus ff gemist......... grrrrrrr
Dan de diverse verbindings / communicatie mogelijkheden naar je randapparatuur.
Op voorwaarde dat er iemand in de buurt is die verstand heeft van LAN/WLAN zaken , doet het ding na enig uitzoeken / puzzelen / geklooi pcies wat tie moet doen. Het verdiend inderdaad aanbeveling om gebruik te maken van een extra router. Gewoon zo'n oud ding wat nog ergens in de kast ligt voldoet
Voor als je thuis op meerdere sporen ( 2+ ) live richting een DAW wilt opnemen moet je naar de 18 gaan.
Heb je "gewoon" een mixer nodig en heb je de beschikking over pc ( of in live situaties, een laptop ,tablet of zelfs een smartphone ) dan is het echt een prima ding. Heel erg veel voor een relatief laag bedrag.
Wat helemaal dikke prima is: meenemen naar een jam! Je hebt al je eigen geluiden / afstellingen bij je. Een line out naar een neutraal kanaal van de PA en hoppa. Je kunt zelfs je "eigen geluidsman" vanuit het publiek via z'n smartphone de boel laten bijstellen :P .
Tja , geluidskwaliteit.... Snoeizuiver, geen ruis te bekennen en zo verschrikkelijk veel mogelijkheden om je eigen sound te creëren. pffffff.
Mooi spul!
Voor draadloze bediening moet je alleen wel een externe router gebruiken; de interne is ongeschikt voor buiten je eigen woonkamer.
Na het uitpakken eens geprobeerd de mixer te connecten aan een Mac.
Dan heb je dus niets aan de beknopte handleiding en ook niets aan de
on-line manual bij Behringer.
Ben redelijk bekend met netwerk protocollen en had het geheel in 15min
aan de praat, maar je zal maar een "leek" zijn.....
Dan de ingebouwde wifi. Alleen 2.4 ghz en zeer slecht bereik, lijkt me risicovol
als je een bandje wil mixen op je tablet alleen. Een accespoint is dan een must.
Tevens geprobeerd een Bfc2000 via midi aan te sluiten, dit nam een avondje
google in beslag. Uiteindelijk wel aan de praat gekregen.
Ook vreemd dat je het midi-protocol "uit" moet vinken in de software om een
connectie toemaken met een externe midi controller.
Kortom, weer eens een leuk product van Behringer waar helaas geen bruikbare
handleiding voor is geschreven, vooral als je iets "out of the box" wil doen.
Dan de mixer zelf. Is eigenlijk gewoon geweldig in deze prijsklasse.
De Midas pre-apps zijn hoorbaar beter dan de vorige uitvoering en
de mogelijkheden zijn best wel uitgebreid voor een mixer in deze klasse.
Hier in gebruik als extra mixer op festivals ( presentatie, pauze-muziek en DJ)
Zodat engineers hun files kunnen laden in de wat professionele mixers.
