Behringer X18 X Air Tablet-Controlled Digital Mixer

The Behringer X Air X18 is an 18-channel digital mixer that replaces the traditional console layout with wireless tablet control, putting a full mixing surface on your iPad or Android device. At its core are 16 gain-programmable Midas-designed microphone preamps, delivering the clean and transparent audio quality that Midas preamps are known for. The integrated WiFi module connects directly to your tablet without the need for an external router, though an external router can be added for extended range in larger venues. The 12-bus architecture provides flexible routing for monitor mixes, effects sends, and subgroups.

Beyond live mixing, the X18 doubles as a multi-channel USB audio interface, enabling you to record all input channels individually to a DAW for studio production or live show archival. The compact desktop form factor includes a built-in tablet tray to keep your control surface close at hand, and the unit takes up a fraction of the space required by a traditional mixing console. For small to mid-sized live sound applications, rehearsal spaces, houses of worship, and home studios, the X18 provides a capable and affordable digital mixing solution that eliminates the bulk and cost of conventional hardware while maintaining professional-grade audio quality through its Midas preamp stage.
