General
Behringer's XR18 is an impressively complete rack mixer with no fewer than 16 microphone inputs and eight separate outputs. It can also be used as an audio interface, making it a great choice for studio and mobile recordings. You can easily control it via a smart phone, tablet or computer, and it even has its own Wi-Fi access point built-in so you can connect automatically. Furthermore, it has no fewer than four internal stereo FX processors (eight mono!) so you can make use of an impressive collection of classic effects.
Behringer X Air XR18: Great for demanding technicians
A big, heavy, cumbersome multi-cable won't be necessary with the XR18. It's compatible with iOS and Android, and it can also be used with Mac, Linux and PC, whether you want to connect via wireless internet of a LAN network. There's enough processing power to equip every input signal with a separate gate, 4-band EQ and a compressor. Furthermore, each output channel can be equipped with a 6-band EQ, a compressor and a 31-band EQ. When you use the rack for recording you can use these effects and the built-in FX processor slots in real time. The effects won't affect your computer's CPU either because they work on the internal DSP of the X Air XR18.
XR18: Overview
The sixteen 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 XR18 also has a MIDI input and output so you can connect your MIDI controller directly, so you can easily control the mixer via the Mackie HUI protocol and there's a USB on-board for recording audio to an iPad, for example. Finally, rack mounts are included in the purchase so you can safely use the XR18 in a rack.

For live performance I will probably use the Network cable option because one of my laptops has an Ethernet connection option.
heel fijn ding voor weinig geld!
Ben er zeer tevreden over.
Mooi vorm gegeven.
Stevig gebouwd.
Genoeg om te ontdekken.
Fijn om mee te werken.
Gewoon een goed product.
Gebruik hem samen met mac-book een X-touch DAW controler en Ipad.
Werkt allemaal naar behoren
Is even uitzoeken hoe alles werkt maar dan heb je ook wel heel erg veel
Ik gebruik hem in mijn home studio .
Ik ga ermee aan de slag en kom er nog eens op terug.
Wat een super apparaat.
Nadat ik de RCF-M18 had gekocht toch voor de Behringer XR18 gegaan.
Alles wat je maar wenst kan met de Behringer XR18! Omdat ik hem hobbymatig gebruik moest hij voldoen aan verschillende wensen.
Ik wilde hem graag gebruiken voor recording, maar ook voor het live mixen.
Met deze mixer kun je alle sporen los opnemen, live mixen, als geluidskaart gebruiken.
Enigste min/nadeel is dat er weinig presets in de mixer zitten en je best wel wat kennis nodig hebt van EQ. Dit is voor mij nog geheel nieuw en dus in het begin best lastig!
