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. Read more

mesa boa, marca reconhecida, otima compra! Read more

Okzuje się, że aplikacja na androida nie jest wspierana przez producenta. To trochę słąbye, że na dwuletnim smartfonie nie jestem w stanie zainstalować zalecanej i wskazanej na stronie producenta aplikacji Jest zbyt nowy (sic!). Aplikacja alternatywna jest bardzo mało intuicyjna i w wersji pro dodatkowo płatna (niedroga - 25zł jednorazowo, ale płatna). Read more

Spent a lot of time researching which WiFi type mixer to use. Eventually landed on this one for a number of reasons. At church we use a Mackie 1608 and this has been outstanding, so I nearly went for one of those. I also looked closely at the Soundcraft UI16 too. So what set the XR18 out ahead of the pack? Well, many things! First, the size of the XR18 is excellent and very compact, unlike say the X18 or the Mackie 1608. Second, the pre-amps are excellent and definitely clearer than even the Mackie, in my view at least. Third, unlike the badly titled Soundcraft UI16 which only really gives you 12 'proper' channels, the XR18 gives 16 XLR channels and a couple of jack inputs, making it truly have 18 channels. Fourth, the XR18 has software across various devices, including Mac, PC, Android and iOS. OK so I believe only a third party app is available for iPhone (forgive me if I'm wrong there) but this is very cheap off the App Store. But the ability to use various devices and operating systems to control the XR18 sets it well above the Mackie, which can only (currently, as of this review) be controlled by iPad. The Soundcraft has an html5 interface which means can be controlled by anything with a browser and is therefore consistent across devices - unlike the XR18. The Behringer software across devices is different - I've used on Mac, iPad and Android and they all have various quirks. But as we live stream, the Behringer into a Mac works very well (albeit via USB return from the device). Be aware that the XR18 software does has a learning curve and the one downside that I have found (compared to the Mackie) is that the X Air software does not have such a clear GUI as Mackie's Master Fader 4, which is very easy to navigate. However, the X Air software gives you more and the reverbs are significantly better on the X Air compared to Master Fader, as one example. The X Air has more depth and options and its inconsistency across devices can lead to some head scratching at times. But I highly recommend Behringer's online videos and other user videos. Build quality on the XR18 is bomber (as it is on the Mackie). The Soundcraft has had huge issues with noise and other problems. I'm sure this will be sorted in time but as of now, the XR18 has a very clear edge. I actually chose to buy an Airport Express instead of using the XR18 built-in WiFi, but that was about being able to use the 5GHz range (less crowded than the 2.4GHz range) and so I could use AirPlay from an iPad. The setup was confusing (I used a forum tutorial on Behringer's website) but it worked. Have also used the Behringer's in-built WiFi no problems as well. All in all an outstanding system. Behringer makes some dodgy products IMO (for example their DI boxes!) but this is outstanding. Read more

El producto es increíble, creo que los años que se esta comercializando, demuestra la fortaleza del mismo. Les recomiendo buscar información y ver videos al respecto, hay muchos y muy buenos. El vendedor fue increíble la velocidad con la que trato el envío, literalmente me llegó en un día, cuando en la plataforma me informaba que llegaría 3 o 4 días después. Igual con la facturación, súper rápidos. Estas acciones si son de recomendar. Saludos. Read more

Mein Bruder und haben entschlossen, unsere musikalische Vergangenheit neu zu beleben. Mangels Proberaum wollten wir dies zunächst geräuschlos mit In-Ear Systemen versuchen. Dazu haben wir uns für den Mixer XR18 entschieden. Der Mixer bietet gerade hierfür sehr gute Möglichkeiten und ist dafür super günstig. Folgende Features haben uns besonders gefallen: - 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!! Read more

Muy buena actualización de una analoga a digital, la compre porque es muy útil para no utilizar medusa en eventos en vivo, compre esta versión por el precio 9 mil y porque mayormente la usaré en mi escritorio para grabar multitrack Read more
