X AIR X18The Behringer X32 completely changed the game by rethinking what is possible from a digital mixer – and over 100,000 users are enjoying the results. Now, that same technology has been incorporated into a small, but incredibly powerful, rack-mountable mixer that will forever change both the way you record – and the way you play live music. The revolutionary X18 is a powerhouse 18 input/12 bus digital mixer that also serves as the launch pad for your favorite computer tablet – including iPad and Android tablets. It is ideally suited for both live and studio applications, thanks to its 16 MIDAS-designed mic preamps, convenient integrated Wifi module for wireless control – and a lightning-fast, bidirectional USB Audio Interface. |
Midas – The Legend in Sound QualityEver since its formation in the 1970s, Midas has had a long history of innovation and leadership in the world of audio mixing consoles. Employed by the most famous touring acts and installations worldwide, legendary Midas consoles such as the XL4 and Heritage H3000 quickly became industry standards. Midas has earned their impeccable reputation due to their no-compromise approach for audio and build quality and in particular for their Mic Preamps which are considered by industry experts as the industry’s best sounding designs. Building on this legacy, the XL8 and PRO Series of Live Mixing Systems continue this great heritage of audio quality. Behringer is proud to incorporate MIDAS designed mic preamps for the ultimate in high quality audio reproduction in both live and studio environments. Find out more about MIDAS’ amazing legacy by visiting their extensive website. |
Built-In Tri-Mode Wifi RouterDesigned for the ultimate in mobility, the X18 comes with an integrated Wifi module for direct control of your mixer’s functions – without the need to setup 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. Wifi Client allows you to add your mixer to the existing wireless network where the controlling apps and devices are connected. Alternately, wired connections can be made directly to your PC, to a local area network (LAN), or when connecting to a dedicated Wifi router. |
Recording SimplifiedThe incredibly fast and comprehensive 18 x 18 channel, bi-directional 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. |

Revolutionary Auto-MixingWhen 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 gain sharing 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 of each another. X AIR Gain Sharing technology provides a consistent system gain structure, even when multiple speakers are talking at the same time. |
4 Onboard X32 Effects EnginesEquipped 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, 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 sough tafter processors, all effects run inside the low-latency environment of the X18 mix engine, ensuring flawless performance, flexible routing and the end of cable faults forever! |
High-End FX Racks at Your Finger TipsThe immaculate tube signal path in Teletronix’ LA-2A Leveling Amplifier has left its exceptional clarity, its rich and warm compression on countless albums of the past decades. |
100-Band RTA for all Channel/ Bus EQ’sThe 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 has never been easier! |

16 Channels of Personal MonitoringThe easy way to send sound, our 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 up to put on your best show. ULTRANET also provides the perfect conduit for sending your mix to the new Turbosound iQ Series loudspeakers, which can tap into the 16-channel digital bus directly. |
Uncompromised Channel ProcessingThe X18 allows you to achieve the same incredible level of EQ finesse as the 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. You’ll wonder how you ever EQ’d without it! 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. |
MIDI In/Out for Live Performance ControllersThe 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. |
Dedicated Apps and Software – All Platforms CoveredSince we realize that “one size doesn’t always fit all”, we went the extra mile and provided apps for all the most popular devices and operating systems. So we engaged dedicated (and highly caffeinated) development teams for our iOS*, Android*, PC/Mac* and Linux* based applications for the X18 mixer. When you download an X18 app for your OS, you can rest assured that you will get the fully optimized experience we intended. |

X AIR EDIT (PC/Mac/Linux)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. 100 m length) – and all X AIR mixer functions are instantly mirrored on your computer screen.

You can even control multiple mixers remotely from a single computer, or create several strategically placed computer stations to control the same mixer.

X AIR for AndroidDesigned specifically for all Android mobile devices (4.0 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 App for Android, personal monitor mixing just got a whole lot more personal – both live and in the studio!

It provides full control of the mix by having ‘all in the box’. Before I used to carry a 100 feet cable snake, a mixer, a rack with effects (compressors, reverbs, delays, EQs, etc) and now I only carry my XR 18, a wireless router and my laptop.
The 6 auxiliars are excellent as it allows providing individual monitoring for 6 musicians. In rehearsals you can add three more musicians using the phones jack and the main L & R outputs.
The ability to create scenes is terrific, as I can keep the set up for the different artists I work with without the need to start over.
The preamps quality is good enough even for recording. I have used in for live performance mixer and as Studio interface and both worked perfect.
The only area I didn’t like is the inputs 1 and 2 due to the Z feature. For some reason it amplifies the background noise when using microphones, creating feedback noises or a bothering hiss. You have to play around with the input signal, the general mixing volume, and the mic type/brand you use.

- Der Mixer hat 6 Aux-Ausgänge für individuelle Mono-Mixe - diese lassen sich zusammenschalten zu Stereo-Mixe (also max. 3 Stereo Mixe).
- Mixer kann von PC und/oder Smartphone bedient werden; so kann jeder Teilnehmer seinen individuellen Mix selbst steuern.
- Per Ultranet ist es möglich, Behringer Powerplay P16 Mixing Konsolen anzuschließen; womit jeder weiterer Teilnehmer seinen individuellen Mix einstellen kann.
- Jeder Input hat Noise Gate, Kompressor und EQ und kann per FX-Weg an 4 Effekten teilnehmen.
- Mixer kann super als Audio Interface verwendet werden (und zwar alle Kanäle als Input/Output).
Sicher bietet der Mixer noch mehr, aber das obige ist uns sehr positiv aufgefallen.
Negative Punkte es kaum; so gibt es im integrierten AP nur WEP-Verschlüsselung (also am besten, man nutzt einen separaten Router). Weiterhin ist die Behringer‘s eigene Android App nur für ältere Android Versionen gedacht - sie funktioniert auch auf neueren (mit Warnung), aber es gibt auch eine sehr gute Third Party App, auf die Behringer selbst verweist.
Beibt nur zu hoffen, dass die Plattform lange noch unterstützt wird, weil sie lebt ja davon, dass mit weiteren Geräten darauf zugegriffen wird. Aber wir haben zumindest jetzt unseren Spass damit – und das nicht nur mit unserer Band, sondern auch, wenn ich alleine übe (Gitarre, Gesang und Playalong Track).
Fazit: Ich würde den Mixer jederzeit wieder kaufen!!
Firstly, this mixer is small. It’s kind of mind blowing just how compact it is. My previous mixer was a giant Mackie 24 channel monster that took two people to move. This little mixer is the size of a small lunch box.
Second. Once I began to dig into the product I was dumbfounded at the flexibility. Audio routing is, frankly, unbelievable. You can route anything anywhere. There is really no limit to what you can do.
The next great thing is the ability to build scenes. I play in two vastly different bands, so I have a scene for each band. All my settings, effects are dialed in per band and it takes moments to load a new scene. Just great.
The sound is absolutely fine by my ears, and there are some quite impressive effects baked right in. I love having the AC30 amp sim to jam an acoustic directly into. Yes. Plug an acoustic directly into Channel One or Two and you can send the signal to an AC30. Sounds great.
My main band has fallen so in love with this tech, that we went and bought a pair of TurboSound speakers and a bass bin. One RJ45 cable from the mixer to a speaker, then another out to another speaker and so on. Couldn’t be simpler.
Now my favorite feature is that it’s also a USB interface. And again the audio routing is just terrific. All 18 channels show up in Logic Pro. This product is now central to my recording workflow. I’ve got in the habit of recording all our sessions. It doesn’t get easier.
The iPad software works great, but as others have said, it’s probably best to use an external router for shows. We plug a 2017 MacBook in to handle any tweaks - Just fewer things to go wrong.
This is a highly recommended product. I cannot say enough good things about it.
