Wireless control and operation
The XR18 revolutionises the mixing experience with its integrated WiFi capability, allowing full control from your iPad, Android tablet, or computer. This feature liberates sound engineers from the constraints of the mixing desk, enabling them to adjust mixes from any location in the venue. Whether fine-tuning monitor mixes onstage or adjusting the main mix from the audience's perspective, the XR18's wireless control ensures that you always get the perfect sound, tailored to each environment.
Quality MIDAS preamps
The XR18's sound starts with its 16 MIDAS-designed preamps, renowned for their transparency and detail. These award-winning preamps ensure that every vocal and instrument is captured with exceptional clarity and warmth, making the XR18 an ideal choice for both live performances and studio recordings. The presence of these preamps in a compact, digital format underscores the XR18's commitment to uncompromised sound quality, even in the most demanding scenarios.
Auto-mixing for clean sound
Handling multiple microphones in live settings has never been easier, thanks to the XR18's advanced Dugan-style Auto-Mixing. This smart technology dynamically adjusts the microphone gain levels in real time, ensuring a clean, feedback-free sound without the artefacts typically associated with gating or compression. Ideal for panel discussions, theatrical performances, and conferences, this feature simplifies complex mixing scenarios, allowing you to focus on delivering the best possible mix.
Studio-quality effects
With its onboard X32 effects rack, the XR18 offers access to four stereo (8 mono) multi-effects processors, including high-quality simulations of famous Lexicon and EMT reverbs. This not only enriches your mixes with studio-grade effects but also eliminates the need for external processing hardware. The XR18's comprehensive effects suite, combined with its 100-band Real Time Analyzer for every channel and bus EQ, makes it a formidable tool for achieving professional-sounding mixes in any context.
