Behringer rewrote the live sound playbook with the X32 digital mixer. The X Air series of tablet-controlled mixers is going to change the game once again. Much of what made the X32 so massively popular is present in the X Air series, plus on-board Wi-Fi and more, in a much smaller format you control via your iPad, laptop, and/or Android devices.
Key Features
iPad / Android tablet-controlled 16-input digital mixer for studio and live applications
8 award-winning Midas-designed, fully programmable mic preamps for audiophile sound quality
Built-in tri-mode Wi-Fi router for wireless operation - no need for external routers
Award-winning X32 effects rack featuring 4 stereo FX slots
Four aux and main LR buses with inserts, full dynamics processing and 6-band parametric or 31-band graphic EQ
100-band Real Time Analyzer (RTA) for all channel and bus EQs

Behringer XR16 X Air 16-Channel Rack Mount Digital iPad / Tablet Mixer with WiFi & USB
The revolutionary XR16 is a powerhouse 12 input portable mixer housed in an sturdy rack-mountable stage box, designed for use with iPad and Android tablets or PC/Mac computers. It is ideally suited for both live and studio applications, thanks to its 8 award-winning Midas-designed mic preamps, 8 line inputs, convenient integrated Wi-Fi module for wireless control, and a handy USB port for L/R stereo recording.
The freedom to move around and manipulate all parameters of your mix with the free iOS, Android and computer apps lets you dial in the perfect sound from anywhere in the venue, or the tracking room. Advanced engineering and meticulous design deliver stellar sonic performance at an extremely affordable price. Behringer is changing the game -- again!
Legendary Sound Quality by Midas Ever since its formation in the 1970s, Midas has had a long history of innovation and leadership in the world of audio mixing consoles. Employed by the most famous touring acts and installations worldwide, legendary Midas consoles such as the XL4 and Heritage H3000 quickly became industry standards.
Behringer is proud to incorporate Midas-designed mic preamps in the X Air mixers, for the ultimate in high-quality audio reproduction in both live and studio environments.
Wi-Fi or Hard-Wired - No Router Required Designed for the ultimate in mobility, the XR16 comes with an integrated Wi-Fi module for direct control of your mixer’s functions, without the need to setup and configure an external router. The XR16 gives you the freedom to focus on your mix, while allowing you to move about the venue to experience what every part of the audience is hearing. Plus you can adjust live monitor wedges from the artist’s perspective – or better yet, let them mix their own IEMs and floor monitors via their own tablets or smartphones.
• Access Point is the easiest way to connect up to 4 clients directly and concurrently (i.e., iPad, Android smartphone/tablet or laptop). This mode should have your remote control up and running in less than a minute. • Wi-Fi Client allows you to add your mixer to the existing wireless network where the controlling apps and devices are connected. • Alternately, wired connections can be made directly to your PC, to a local area network (LAN), or when connecting to a dedicated Wi-Fi router, e.g., for extended range or 5 GHz applications.
Did Someone Say "Recording"
The front panel USB type-A connector makes the XR16 not only an amazingly powerful digital mixing solution, but also allows recording your live stereo tracks directly to attached USB flash media or hard drives. Dial in the perfect live mix with effects and zero-latency, while sending a dedicated stereo mix to your thumb drive for recording, or play background music on a break. 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.
Effective Effects - Minus The Rack Equipped with the very same FX engines as the now legendary X32 Digital Mixing Console, the X Air's onboard Virtual FX Rack provides access to four true-stereo (8 mono), multi-effects processors including delay, chorus, dynamics, and the XR16 can run production-quality, true-stereo reverbs concurrently with 31-band EQ on the main and aux buses, all without the need for any additional hardware.
You can select any combination of high-end simulations of legendary studio effects, such as the Lexicon 480L and PCM70, as well as the EMT250 and Quantec QRS reverbs. Onboard processing means your computer doesn’t have to do the heavy lifting during a mixing session with DAW plugins, as the XR16 has a whole studio of FX under the hood.
Custom-designed and physically modeled after some of the most iconic and sought-after processors, all effects run inside the low-latency environment of the XR16 mix engine, ensuring flawless performance, flexible routing and the end of insert and patch cable faults -- forever!
Analyze and Conquer The XR16 includes a high-resolution 100-band real-time analyzer (RTA), with full Bar and Spectrograph views. This high-resolution RTA displays the audio energy distribution in 100 frequency bands over time, capturing a sonogram window of a full 10 seconds.
Switch between the large RTA view, displaying any available signal in full screen resolution, or the combined RTA view shown above each of the channel and bus EQ curves, and instantly see the results of your filtering choices. Additionally, the RTA can be displayed on top of the 31-band graphic EQs in the Main LR or Aux buses. Monitoring and controlling frequencies has never been easier!
Process Every Channel - Like A Boss The XR16 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!
Every input channel also features Low-Cut, 4-band fully parametric EQ and the same Gate and Compressor dynamics suite found in the X32, with one very special addition: you can choose either Expert or Simple functionality. In Expert mode, you can drill down and get your hands on every nuance of your dynamics. Or, if you’re more of the ‘plug and play’ type, Simple mode lets you either select from one of our 4 carefully-optimized presets or load your own channel templates. Add to this 40-bit, floating-point DSP and you’ll experience virtually unlimited dynamic range with no internal overload and near-zero overall latency.
In addition to the Main L/R bus for front of house, 6 Aux buses are provided for dialing in the perfect monitor mixes, or creating a dedicated mix for your USB stereo recording – complete with inserts, dynamics, and either a 6-band parametric EQ or 31-band graphic EQ. And if all these outstanding EQ options put a smile on your face, you’ll love it even more when we tell you that 100-band RTAs are available for these, too!
MIDI For Fun And Profit The physical MIDI I/O port on the XR16 mixer can also be used for connecting external MIDI controllers, such as Behringer X-Touch or B-Control products, for dynamically controlling channel level, muting and panorama adjustments during your performance. And since the full-featured XR16 also supports the Mackie Control protocol, you can easily apply comprehensive remote editing and parameter adjustments via any compatible MIDI devices.
