Behringer XR18
Avantages et inconvénients
par nos spécialistes
Le Behringer X AIR XR18 est souvent salué pour ses très bons préamplis Midas, son traitement numérique complet et son routage flexible. Les utilisateurs apprécient surtout la combinaison de 18 entrées, du contrôle Wi-Fi intégré et de l’interface USB 18x18, qui permet de mixer en live et d’enregistrer en multipiste avec une seule unité compacte. Les effets X32 et le RTA 100 bandes offrent un contrôle précis du son et du monitoring. En contrepartie, beaucoup soulignent que l’on dépend entièrement d’une tablette ou d’un ordinateur, ce qui convient moins à ceux qui préfèrent des faders physiques. De nombreux retours indiquent aussi que le Wi-Fi interne n’est pas toujours assez stable pour les concerts critiques, d’où la recommandation d’un routeur externe. Pour les acheteurs prêts à se familiariser avec le logiciel et le routage, le XR18 offre toutefois énormément de fonctionnalités pour le prix.

I am a videographer shooting 4 camera shoots of live house concert performances. I have always wanted a multi-track recorder. The Behringer XR18 combined with a laptop makes a great inexpensive 18 track digital recorder. I have combined this with a pair of ART S8 passive microphone splitter so I can drop it between stage mics and the PA snake and record all the channels. With careful buying I assembled this including 2 x 16 channels of snake for about $1,000 total. The mixer itself sounds great and provides lots of audio processing power. Fully parametric EQ, compressor and noise gate on every channel. Four effects processors are good. The builtin WiFi is only so-so. I use an external WiFi router. This biggest drawback is no control surface. You have to use a laptop or smartphone. I miss knobs I can grab to tweak the sound. Is this a Soundcraft or Allen & Heath, no. But at $500 new on ebay it is a great deal. Lots of bang for the buck.

*I've put this under recording but my band are also using it as a live desk and for recording.* We purchased this a couple of weeks ago as a group and we couldn't be happier.

This is the second Behringer X Air XR18 we have gotten for our church. First one was for our fellowship room (3 years ago) now we are replacing a very old system in our chapel. I love their versatility the operator can sit anywhere they choose to operate the PA. Now with the PC Software you can set up a computer to control it as well. I am hoping they update the software so you can make it fit your screen side to side and top to bottom. Right now I have to scroll up and down in order to see everything.

The most for your money! Blown away. This replaces my snake, mixing console, and a bunch of rack units, and has more capability. And it's only the size of my snake head! Can use it live with far simpler setup than before. Can use it in my garage studio to record directly into my PC, so it replaces my Omega Lexicon. A complete PA is now only this box, a tablet for mixing, two powered speakers, and a few powered monitor speakers or in ears. This is definitely the way to go!

This is a great little device, full of good sounding channels, routing, effects, etc. BUT: do not rely on running this from an iPad over WiFi. It looses connection every so often. Use a PC or Android tablet and wired Ethernet!
