Best Behringer X Air XR18 Alternatives

Based on 8 reviews

Excelent mixer, another one in XM32 ecosystem. Use it as standalone mixer together with DL32, and as monitor mixer in adition to X32 FOH for bigger events. Although due to mixing from tablet in most cases, the most appropriate monitoring would be wireless IEM, I am missing a headphones output jack on the front panel. The scenes brought with USB from external can be loadad only thorugh the PC M32 Edit App. I would like to have this option this also with tablet/mobile app. Anyway, looking overall, recommend it for live or installed applications.

I bought this 2 years ago. Early glitches were ironed out after firmware upgrade. Also initially only supported iOS devices, but then the Android app. was released..at last!! I have been working for more than 40 years in bands etc., This mixer was so easy to set up, using the onboard library. Every time we set up, we plug everything in switch it on and without changing ANYTHING it sounds exactly as the previous gig. People always comment saying " you get a great sound". There are a lot of other mixers out there, some a lot cheaper but none in this price range with the connectivity of in's and out's. It can still be used free standing without an external control from a tablet/phone etc. My only niggle is that there is no external fx bypass, there was talk of a firmware upgrade...

I use the A & H QU 32 for large gigs as a hire company and bought the QU - PAC for smaller indoor venues. The QU - PAC is fantastic, a very well thought out mixer which has all the advantages of the QU 32 but can be used remotely from an ipad. It has all the features of the larger desk and can be upgraded to 32 channels, it is intuitive and easy to handle. An added advantage is that it can also be controlled directly if needed. Overall a superb piece of kit. It would have been nice to be able to use the headphone out on the ipad to PFL/AFL the mixer but you can't have everything.

I bought this digital mixing desk for use in a theatre and arts centre. We do about 3 or 4 live music gigs each month and had been getting by with an old Allen and Heath GL 4000 analogue desk and all the outboard kit that goes with it. I am not a sound engineer and would admit to just knowing the basics. I had used a Yamaha M7 Cl before this and was hoping that the Allen and Heath would be something similar. For the money, this desk is fantastic, its is very very intuitive and straight forward to navigate even for a fair weather sound engineer like myself. It sounds great and is super light weight and compact. I absolutely love this desk and whilst an m7 might sound just a little bit crisper this desk is every bit as good for small to medium sized gigs - how they've packed so much into...

I do not have this product for a long time, but I use it quite often. I use it in the studio as well as in live shows with my band. Very easy-to-use in both cases, this equipment gathers all the features that one can expect from a digital mixer. Till now, I 've found only pros! I haven't discover a con yet! Lightweight considering its features. Clear and wide touch Digital Screen, which is very easy to navigate and the aspects of the overall mixer are very visible. A lot of inputs and outputs for the size! The mic preamps are class A and sound great! It could be a great audio interface when connecting to a DAW. The disadvantage of not working with Windows was solved with the QSC’s new drivers. The effects are very nice! And the recordings from it, also sound great! The apps for...

This is my 4th M32R console... What can I say... INCREDIBLE little console! You've got even "MORE" than what you pay for! They took over the market with the X/M32 consoles, and there's a reason for it: they are the best for the price! Make sure to update to the newer firmware though (4.02 as I write this review); the new routing options are much more powerful. Also, you can choose between the FAST and SLOW fader speed. The built-in SD Card recorder is very handy (I've got it to work with a 128 GB card BTW, despite the spec listed 32 GB maximum). On the CON side, the screen is a bit small (but very bright), but you can control the full console with the PC/Mac APP in a breeze anyway... Thanks Midas for such a great product!! A+++++++

I have to say straight off that I I am completely bowled over by The x32 Rack , I don't need most of it's facilities although I may use some of them in the future. I am using mine at the moment for small pub gigs looking after bands using a wifi router an Ipad and sitting at the bar ! Mine is loaded into a rack on wheels with a couple of power amps and I just roll it on stage plug in a few mics and thats it . I have programmed the rack at home with channels for vocals/kick drum etc Normally Soundcheck is the first song , how did we manage before? I seem to remember a lot of running around and shouting at each other ! It's nice to be able to have a lot of FX/Compression /EQ at hand without another rack full of equipment and associated leads (and ages to set it up!) When playing with my...

I'll jump straight into this by saying that this XR12 is solid. Behringer are always considered the next best thing with their gear but this is as good as it gets. There's not much on the hardware side to shout about apart from the sockets - excellent quality and gives a confident connection. There are 2U rack ears included if you want to use them. It's early days for this technology and the available apps will be where it scores the most against the competition. Having said that, you may already know about the x32 engine running the show and I am impressed with effects available. Once you work out how this mixer works without having an in depth manual, then you can appreciate it's uses. The app differs slightly across platforms with PC/Mac giving better control and other features...
