Mix From Anywhere in the House
Built-in Wi-Fi and tablet integration for unprecedented mixing mobility
Behringer's X18 gives you the ultimate in mixing mobility. Imagine always being able to mix from the most advantageous spot in the house! The X18 acknowledges the reality of modern live mixing — that you don't want to be tied down to a fixed front-of-house mix location. Integrated Wi-Fi gives you remote control over the mixer's functions from your tablet or laptop without needing to set up and configure an external router. Now you can focus on your mix, moving around the venue to experience what your audience is hearing at any place in the auditorium. Tweak the mix from the balcony. Adjust the monitors from the performers' perspective. This is live mixing the way it should be — natural and intuitive. The result will be better-sounding shows!

Let the Performers Mix Their Own Monitors
Compatibility with Behringer's Personal Monitoring System
The X18's wireless capability makes it easy for you to modify a monitor mix from the performers' onstage perspective, but why not let the musicians mix their own IEMs or floor wedges? The X18 features an Ultranet port for easy audio routing over Cat 5e cable to other Ultranet-compatible gear. Compatibility with Behringer's P16-M Personal Monitoring System means you can concentrate on whipping up a killer house mix and leave the monitor mix to the performers (trust us, they'll thank you for it). Now that's smart mixing! With 16 channels of personal monitoring, plus six aux sends to feed stage wedges, delayed mixes, or secondary rooms, you have it covered. If you've got big stadium gigs booked, you'll be glad to know that you can easily integrate the X18 into a larger setup using its Ethernet port to connect to a wired network or a monster router. The X18 includes free iOS and Android apps for remote operation.

Great-sounding Mixes Start Here
Pristine preamps, ultra-wide dynamic range, and more
With 16 Midas-designed mic preamps and 40-bit floating-point DSP that delivers virtually unlimited dynamic range with no internal overload and vanishingly low latency, the X18 delivers impeccable sound quality — the same as Behringer's acclaimed X32 digital mixer. The X18's preamps are fully gain-programmable and remote-controllable from your iOS and Android device, for nearly unlimited flexibility in a live show situation. Because applications are loaded to the specific device, you can prepare your channel layout offline while sitting in the tour bus before a show.

Comprehensive Channel Processing and Routing
Features that will make you a sound-mixing hero
With so many variables beyond a mix engineer's control, Sweetwater knows just how challenging mixing a live show can be. That's why Behringer designed the X18 with smart features that can make you a sound-mixing hero. The X18's channels are fully loaded, with per-channel low-cut filters, gates, full dynamics (including compression, limiting, expansion, ducking, sidechaining, and more) fully parametric 4-band EQ, and routing to the six aux outputs. When it comes to EQ, the XR18 lets you analyze the frequency content of your tracks courtesy of its 100-band Real Time Analyzer, built into every input channel and then sculpt them with the bus equalizer (currently available in Android, PC, and Mac software — iOS coming soon). With visual feedback built right into the control app, you can see exactly what you need to do, and make fast, surgical adjustments to frequencies that need boost or cut.

Studio-quality Effects
Virtual FX Rack with four true-stereo multi-effects processors
The X18 has an entire arsenal of effects under the hood. The X18's virtual FX Rack gives you four true-stereo (8 mono) multi-effects processors, including delay, chorus, and dynamics. This engine is beefy enough to simultaneously run high-quality, true-stereo reverbs and 31-band EQ, without the need for additional hardware. Select any combination of high-end simulations of classic studio reverbs such as the Lexicon 480L and PCM70, the EMT250 or Quantec QRS. The X18's onboard processing means your computer won't be tasked with additional heavy lifting during a mixdown session with numerous plug ins.
