## Description

From the manufacturer Behringer X18 18-Channel, 12-Bus Digital Mixer for iPad/Android Tablets with 16 Programmable Midas Preamps, Integrated Wifi Module and Multi-Channel USB Audio Interface iPad*/Android* tablet controlled 18-input digital mixer for studio and live applications 16 award-winning Midas-designed, fully programmable mic preamps for audiophile sound quality Built-In Tri-Mode Wifi router for direct operation?no need for external routers 18 x 18 channel, bidirectional USB interface for direct recording on iPad etc. Revolutionary Dugan*-style Auto-Mixing automatically manages microphone gain sharing 100-band Real Time Analyzer (RTA) for all channel and bus EQ's ULTRANET connectivity for Behringer's P-16 Personal Monitoring System* Ultra-wide tray suitable for almost all tablets, iPads and even mini notebooks 6 TRS aux outputs and 2 XLR main outputs plus stereo RCA output and phones connectors X AIR X18 The 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 award-winning MIDAS-designed mic preamps, convenient integrated Wifi module for wireless control – and a lightning-fast, bidirectional USB Audio Interface. MIDAS – The Legend in Sound Quality Ever 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 award-winning 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 award-winning 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 Router Designed 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 Simplified The 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-Mixing 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 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 Engines 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, 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 Tips The 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’s 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 has never been easier! 16 Channels of Personal Monitoring The 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 Processing The X18 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. 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 Controllers 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. Dedicated Apps and Software – All Platforms Covered Since 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. 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. With X AIR EDIT, your PC, Linux or Mac computer becomes your virtual mixer – both live and in the studio! Download the free X AIR EDIT software from behringer.com. X AIR for iPad Front of House is wherever you and your iPad are – thanks to the new X AIR 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 app, select the mixer image, and all of your X AIR mixer’s settings can now 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. Download the free X AIR App for iPad from the Apple App Store. X AIR for Android Designed 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! 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. Download the free X AIR for Android App from the androidapps.com. Stunning Performance – Superb Value Three companies shared a common vision – to engineer and build the very best sounding, technically advanced audio products for discerning professionals. The feature-packed X18 is the result of the engineering, manufacturing and application expertise of legendary console manufacturer MIDAS, the iconic signal processing genius of KLARK TEKNIK – and Behringer’s unique ability to deliver a superior value proposition.

Review: Brilliant use of 3U of rack space, a great mixer for synths in a home or project studio - it's really good and does lots of good things, worked really well. I wrote a full review explaining why it's so good, but desertcart didn't like it and discarded the draft and pictures, so you'll just have to imagine Behringer's excellent channel strips and EQ visualiser, the ease of connecting USB to an Akai MPC and routing signals to sample, while sending mix busses to an audio interface. You already know the X-Air is a multi-channel audio interface in itself, after all. And the way it took over from a huge 24-channel beast in just 3U of space? Sorry, I can't illustrate that. It also makes posting screenshots of the desktop app's easy routing and controls, intuitive channel strip and effects, and scene management rather difficult. In short, this mixer is great if you're using loads of synths and want a clutter-free easy way to mix them and add effects without adding more cables, since there are four effect slots and they're easily as good as most low-cost rack/standalone or VSTs (being VST-type plugins themselves). You'll get it set up and working in less time than I spent writing a really detailed review for desertcart so people could see how great it is. Now you'll just have to take my word for it so I can at least give the thing the five stars it deserves.
Review: Brilliant small band mixer for the price - Straight out of the box this looks and feels like a well made, rugged bit of kit. It is quite small but its as big as it needs to be, after all, there are no controls to speak of on the mixer itself. Behringer categorise this as a 'digital stagebox mixer' which is a good description. I'll place it on the floor behind the drums I think. After setting it up for the first time I felt the following could have been better; 1. Locating the correct X-Air software was a little confusing with different versions and even 3rd party options available on the Behringer web site. 2. Only 4 XLR inputs is pretty limiting but I was able to change a couple of inputs to 1/4 jack and now, everyone can connect. To balance the negatives I also noticed these positives early on; 1. Built-in power supply requiring only an IEC cable (kettle lead to you and me) is perfect for a stage power connection. 2. The mixer 'remembers' all the settings when you switch it off and the X-Air software can be set to sync with it automatically on connection. I recommend this because we'll be using 4 devices to control it at various times. two phones, one PC and one tablet. X-Air can also be set to send it's configuration to the mixer when it connects if that would be more useful to you. Both of these sync options can be done manually rather than automatically if you prefer. I guess if you've pre-programmed a stage set-up off-line for example. It took me a while to understand and set up the access point but once it was done reconnection was pretty swift. Add a password to the access point and the Wifi client options because both are open by default and you never know, some technically savvy joker might see an opportunity to mess up your mix. I used an ethernet cable to connect to my home windows PC. Editing the settings is easier using the PC than a phone because the software shows more parameters at once but the phone app is pretty impressive too. I also have a windows tablet which, although smaller than the PC screen, is just as comprehensive and fairly easy to use too (it is exactly the same software). I reckon we'll use the tablet mainly on stage to just mix the sound levels rather than fully configure the mixer. There's a terrific feature for saving a setup and re-loading it is called 'Snapshot' (rather confusingly I felt). If you're using the mixer for multiple events or multiple bands you can can save the setups for all of them (up to 64). The data is saved on the mixer itself so, when you connect to it with a different device you can see new saves right away. One thing to note is that, if you are making changes off-line the Snapshot feature won't be available because it can't save to the mixer if it is not connected. All you have to do is have the mixer on your desk and connect to it. If you really have to do this on the train though you can always sync the PC to the mixer when you do eventually connect rather than the other way around. This is why you might not want to use the auto-sync feature though because, if the device automatically syncs from the mixer on connection, all your work on the train will have been overwritten. The control software is pretty intuitive although some parts are really confusing. Like, why is it that the USB play and record controls are present on the Android version but not on my Win PC version? They're both attached to the same mixer! And what are all those little boxes with 'On' written in them above each track? The user manual doesn't seem to cover them and no tool tip comes up when you hover over them? For goodness sake give me a clue because one of them is engaged and I've no idea why. There are two 'Hi-Z' 1/4" jack inputs (Ch 11 & 12). I used these for my guitar processor stereo outs but I found there was so much noise I had to switch to using inputs 7 & 8 which are not Hi-Z. Maybe I had something set wrong. I'll have to try this again sometime. I like that you can EQ the monitor mixes. That makes my Behringer Eurolive B205D sound much nicer. I was able to take out all the harshness from it. I also like all the effects from which you can select four to use in a kind of pseudo rack. You can access these via send or Insert. I was able to set a nice reverb for the vocals, a separate one for the drums and create a slight doubling effect for my own, weak voice using a pitch shifter. And I still have one slot left. I'm very impressed with this mixer and I can't wait to use it at an actual gig. I do worry about losing connection but I guess that's only because I'm new to digital mixers. Update: I struggled to connect via WiFi Client until a user's video told me I had to set it up from an ethernet connection first THEN switch to WiFi Client. This is mentioned in the user guide but I feel it is not clear. Also, the X-Air software on my Windows PC crashed out while I was dragging the 'Low Cut' to a lower frequency in channel 1's PEQ. This only happened once and nothing was lost after reconnecting. Not something I'd like to experience at a gig. I bought a couple of XLR to TRS adaptors to help overcome the limited number of XLR inputs. These are working perfectly but they do stick out a bit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ You MUST update the firmware.
*by D***J on 12 December 2025*

Used one of these for a couple of years at a venue and got on ok with it so decided I'd like one myself. The only reason this is four stars instead of five is the firmware that came with it would drop Wi-Fi connection in seconds, repeatedly. Props for letting me update using a Linux machine (thanks Behringer) but when the Wi-Fi is so bad as to be unusable out of the box, maybe update the firmware before they get sent out. After the update is was rock solid and didn't disconnect for literally twelve hours on a test. On board effects are great, recording is great, all good.
