Built-in Wi-Fi and tablet integration for unprecedented mixing mobility
Behringer’s XR18 gives you the ultimate in mixing mobility. Imagine always being able to mix from the most advantageous spot in the house! The XR18 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 XR18’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 XR18 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, then you’ll be glad to know that you can easily integrate the XR18 into a larger setup using its Ethernet port to connect to a wired network or a monster router.
