The XR16 redefines portable mixing with its groundbreaking 16-input digital architecture designed for both iPad and Android tablet control. This rack-mountable powerhouse combines eight award-winning MIDAS-designed mic preamps with built-in WiFi connectivity and USB recording capabilities, making it equally at home in professional studios and live performance venues. The inclusion of rack ears and protective bumpers provides the flexibility needed for demanding stage and studio applications.
Revolutionary X AIR Gain Sharing technology sets this mixer apart from conventional compact units, automatically managing up to four live microphones without gating artifacts or noise modulation. Based on the legendary Dan Dugan automix system, this feature dramatically reduces feedback, studio noise and comb filtering issues that typically plague multi-microphone setups. The system maintains consistent gain structure even when multiple speakers are active simultaneously, making it ideal for panel discussions, press conferences and courtroom proceedings.
Advanced connectivity options include ULTRANET technology for sending 16 digital sources over standard Cat 5 cable to P16-D Digital ULTRANET Distributors or P16-M Personal Monitor Mixers. The XR12 incorporates the same 100-band Real Time Analyzer found in the award-winning X32, providing visual feedback through the control app for precise EQ adjustments. With 40-bit floating-point DSP processing, four stereo FX slots featuring high-end simulations, and comprehensive dynamics processing across all channels, this mixer represents the combined expertise of MIDAS, KLARK TEKNIK and Behringer engineering.
