BEHRINGER X Air XR16 Digital Mixer

BEHRINGER X Air XR16 Digital Mixer

The Behringer X Air XR16 is a revolutionary 16-input digital mixer designed to be controlled exclusively via iPad, Android tablets, or computers. This robust "stage box" type device eliminates the need for a large physical console and a multitude of cables, allowing the sound engineer or musician to move freely around the venue and adjust the sound from any location.

The mixer is equipped with 8 award-winning, Midas-designed programmable microphone preamplifiers, ensuring audiophile sound quality. The XR16 has a built-in three-mode Wi-Fi router, so it doesn't require any additional external equipment – just connect and control. Another significant advantage is the USB port, which not only allows for system updates but also enables recording uncompressed stereo (WAV) audio directly to a USB stick or playing background music during breaks. Furthermore, the mixer features the revolutionary "Dugan Auto-Mixing" function, which automatically manages microphone levels, making it ideal for conferences and discussions.
