Is the Behringer XR18 your next Mixer?

I got this when it first came out. Now we have 6 of them in different variations. For the money they are so good!

DAVID ❗ Where have you been! You got me up to speed years ago with I don't even remember what equipment it was. But you were the Man. STILL are. Awesome to see you still going strong. OH it was the Boss Gt8. You taught us how to get under the hood so to speak.
Over 14 yrs ago

I got mine when they first came out and its still going strong.

I bought one years ago. Never had a problem with it. It's as reliable as a rock. I recommend it to everyone.

You need to use an external router because the onboard one isn’t strong enough and should be bypassed. The mixer itself is amazing and that is the only weak point but a fairly cheap dual band router fixes the problem and gives you a secure network that can’t be hacked into a live gig.

Our Church is still using our old Mackie CFX20 from 1999. It has worked quite well until about a year ago when it started having some problems. We are in the process of replacing it with an A&H SQ6. I am not looking forward to this as I have been running analog boards since the early 1970s. And yes, I know about your SQ learning video series. I ordered them during your Black Friday sale.

My problem with using mixers like the X18 is needing to use a touchscreen. I suffered a series of strokes a few years ago and while I recovered fairly well I can't work with touchscreens well enough to use something like this. I physically don't have the manual dexterity anymore to work virtual faders and knobs in a live setting.

Can you connect it to electric guitars and without having DI box, if yes, how?

[Rafaelfo.]

Looks great. Do you know if you can hook up a midi controller keyboard to the XR18 to play software instruments in your DAW?

Newer laptops don’t have Ethernet ports to connect to the the XR18 should you need to hard wire it if the wireless is not working well. I just ordered an usb to Ethernet adaptor. I hope this works as I need to know that I will NEVER be stuck if an iPad has troubles or there’s wireless troubles. I really don’t want to carry around a back up mixer. Has anyone ever done this? I’m not even sure it’s possible at all?

[marshallpjesky]

If the iPad you’re controlling it with dies, does the mixer still function as it did before? Does it freeze the settings where they are or does it just fall apart?

[HereAfterNow]

you ocan't add inputs to this though right?

[Thundercatsie]

Dont connect to the xr18 with the build-in wifi... owners know why.. :)

[drumscholar]

he must've said "...about the size of a brick." But it sure sounded like a 'p' to me. funny.

[OrionGarcia]

What happens when the app stops being updated?

[Scott__C]

The biggest problem with this mixer is they shortchanged the Wifi. It's terrible and insecure.
