The groundbreaking XR16 is a powerful 16-input portable/rack-mountable mixer for iPad and Android tablets. With eight award-winning MIDAS designed mic preamps, a convenient onboard WiFi module and USB connection for control, it's perfect for live and studio applications. Additionally, file storage, system updates, and uncompressed stereo recording is possible via the USB stereo recorder. It also incorporates rack ears and protective bumpers for added flexibility in studio and stage applications.
Free iOS and PC apps give you the freedom to move around and control every parameter of your mix, so you can dial in the perfect sound wherever you are in the venue or the tracking room! Advanced engineering and meticulous design deliver stellar sonic performance at an extremely affordable price – changing the game once again.
Whether you’re making rock history in the studio, or you want to capture intimate live performances – it’s never been easier to record stunning tracks with exceptional clarity.
When your application calls for a multiple-microphone setup, such as an onstage panel discussion, press conference or courtroom proceeding, etc., it can become a challenge to maintain so many open mics – and preserve maximum gain and priority for the moderator.
A major first for compact audio mixers, Behringer's revolutionary X AIR Gain Sharing technology can easily manage fully automated mixes with up to 4 live microphones. Based on the legendary Dan Dugan automix system, the XR12’s gain sharing paradigm automatically controls the levels of all selected microphones in real time, without any gating artifacts or noise modulation.
This function dramatically reduces the typical feedback, studio noise and comb filtering challenges that can occur when two, or more mics are in close proximity of each another. X AIR Gain Sharing technology provides a consistent system gain structure, even when multiple speakers are talking at the same time.
The easy way to send sound, Behringer's ULTRANET connectivity allows you to send 16 digital sources over a lightweight and easy-to-deploy Cat 5 cable to P16-D Digital ULTRANET Distributors, or directly to P16-M Personal Monitor Mixers. This powerful and advanced technology makes it easy for individual performers to create their own “more me” mix – and frees you up to put on yBehringer's best show. ULTRANET also provides the perfect conduit for sending yBehringer's mix to the new TURBOSOUND iQ Series loudspeakers, which can tap into the 16-channel digital bus directly.
The XR12 allows you to achieve the same incredible level of EQ finesse as the award-winning X32 thanks to its 100-band Real Time Analyzer, which is built into every input channel and bus EQ. Visual feedback built into the control app allows you to see and make fast, surgical adjustments to frequencies in need of a boost or a cut. You’ll wonder how you ever EQ’d without it!
Three companies shared a common vision – to engineer and build the very bestsounding, technically advanced audio products for discerning professionals. The feature-packed XR12 is the result of the engineering, manufacturing and application expertise of legendary console manufacturer MIDAS, the iconic signal processing genius of KLARK TEKNIK – and Behringer’s unique ability to deliver a superior value proposition.
