The Behringer X18 is an 18-channel digital mixer for iPad, Android tablet and computer. The integrated WiFi module enables direct control without an external router and makes the mixer flexible to use - whether at FOH, in the rehearsal room or directly on stage.
With 16 programmable MIDAS preamps, the digital mixer provides a solid basis for vocals, instruments and multi-track recordings. The integrated 18x18 USB interface allows connection to a DAW so that individual channels can be recorded, routed and further processed.
Four stereo FX slots with reverbs, delays, dynamics and other effect variants are available for sound processing. In addition, the 100-band Real Time Analyser, channel-specific dynamics functions and extensive EQ options support adaptation to different rooms and live situations.
Six aux paths enable separate monitor mixes for musicians. The Behringer P-16 personal monitoring system can also be integrated via ULTRANET. This makes the mixer suitable for bands, smaller stages, rehearsal rooms and mobile recording setups that are looking for a compact digital mixing solution with flexible tablet control.
Behringer X18 Digital Mixer for iPad/TabletThat mixer is best for my needs, amazing sound, perfect fx, flexible settings. Ability of multitrack recording is another huge plus. It has some latency, and not precision fader feeling, but that is a price for wireless connection. This mixer (or rack version) is totally best for the buck for small clubs and bends.
I've been looking for a new mixer after owning a Yamaha O3d mixer for 20 years - The behringer x 18 has really impressed me its a very well thought out piece of kit with small footprint you control it with iPhone , mac pc iPad etc - I only use this mixer in my studio and its superb in quality very flexable in operation EQ Gate Compressor and an insert on each channel -Also has 4 FX slots with lots of processors all of which are great quality - 18 in and out usb to your computer mac iPad or pc - Its took me a few days to work out how this mixer works, but now I've learnt it its turned out to be a superb piece of kit - Great flexible routing and 6 bus aux outs for sending signals to any place including outboard - i'm really enjoying using it
Tested already recording 12 inputs via USB in addition to basic live setup (2 vox, 2 guitars, bass and drums). Everything worked great out of the box. Very easy to operate. Tested with Windows, Android, iOS. Mic preamps have also good quality for recording dynamic mics, line and even phantom-required condenser mics. Haven't A/B tested between phantom and tube preamp (goldmike) side by side yet but first impression was that the preamp did not sound too cold at least when using small condenser overhead mics (matched Neumann km187). I personally prefer warm tube-like sounds with precense when recording
with consenser mics and the result was satisfying enough. Maybe when recording vocals it would be better to use more warmer preamp.
Bought for a home studio application and so far I'm very pleased with it. The sound is excellent, FX are very good. USB routing to my recording PC is a bit confusing but that's probably just me. Overall though there's been an immediate and big step up in in the quality of my recordings. Recommended.
