Great Mixer

I bought this for our church to replace our 15 year old mixer. This is so much better for our church because we don't have a dedicated sound room and this allows us to control the audio from basically anywhere in the building with a phone or tablet. Been using it for over a month and it always works, never had any issues with the Android or IOS apps.

Bangarang Rufio!

This is an amazing machine. The Future! I play all around the southeast, and this head saves time and the signal sounds crystal clear. I do have two critiques...one is that I would advise an external router. If you are in a setting where there are lots of different wifi signals running around, sometimes the head won't show up. With an external router, it boosts the signal and you can password protect it so no one interferes with your sweet jams. Secondly, and this is a big deal for me...there needs to be balanced rca inputs on the head itself. I have been through numerous different chord arrangements to finally have the ability to play music from my phone or from a laptop between sets. That being said, I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend.

Great addition to any PA

This is not plug and play but it has all the parameters of a digital studio brought to the stage and the ability to mix from the back of the hall, or on stage is worth the price of admission. Be prepared to spend some time getting to know how to use this product and you won't regret buying one. recently my band performed in a hall with a pro sound company. They had a very slick system. When I go close I saw they were using the '18 as the mixer!

Hallelujah!

I bought this mixer two months for our church's Sunday service, 90% of which is spoken, and the other 10% is music. Previously, we were using a borrowed Yamaha analog mixer, and even though we're not sound techs, we figured out the basic operations after some study and experimentation. Having that experience proved very useful for learning how to use the Behringer mixer. We figured out how to rack-mount the mixer with the supplied brackets (instructions were not included). For setup, we have all of our inputs feeding into the mixer, a combination of wireless receivers, wired microphones, and an iPod audio input cable. We use either an iPad Mini or an iPad to control the mixer; they both work well, but of course the iPad is easier to read. The iPad connects to the mixer via the built-in wireless network. I can control the mixer from anywhere in the room, and slightly beyond, at distances ranging from a few feet up to about 60 feet. We also video record the sermon, which we record from the back of the room. For the best audio, we ran a 75' XLR cable from one of the mixer's "Aux send" jacks (we used "AUX 1") to an audio adapter (specifically, I bought an old BeachTek DXA-4 Dual XLR audio adapter on eBay) which then connects to the mic input on the video camera. The adapter is required as it converts the balanced signal to a signal the camera can use. Note that you can download the mixer's app and try it out (the app has multiple demo modes) before buying the mixer. That helped to ease my mind before purchase, that I could learn how to use the mixer. There's still a lot I don't know how to control or use on the mixer, but I know the basics, and for now, that's all I need.

Great for small to medium band situations

Using this for band practice at my house and for small gigs. It's really amazing what you get for this price. Easy set up but powerful features. Really love the software effects for adding reverb and other effect. Wish it had a way to wirelessly play music from your phone(you have to run cable). Not being a soundman, I've found this unit excellent for running sound for my band.

Knowing the name of the Xair wifi.

Once you get past the learning curve its real good. When setting it up have your phone's wifi search it out so you know the actual wifi name of your unit. Then use the tablet to match that name when searching. It may require a bit of editing of the last 3 numbers. The tablet to unit controls are very responsive and its fun to check out the effects on instruments and voices. We use it with two Bose compacts but if you have a separate PA amplifier for monitors and big speakers on tripods it will work fine. Download the Xair pro app for best results.If you don't get a connection right away turn off the app then reinitiate and search again it will connect again no problem. I've found if I disconnect the app it still retains the last settings given so it doesn't seem to interfere with the show so like any other PA it's set and forget once you have all of your settings.There are two outputs for left and right speakers and 4 outputs for monitors as well as a headphone output.

Best way to mix a multipurpose room

Best way to mix a multipurpose room. Your not stuck in a corner when you mix and you have the flexibility to go anywhere if you rack it. This mixer is great as many people have tablets that sync right up and kids can't really screw it up cause there is no knobs. It sounds great too.

Lots of bang for the buck

An amazing amount of functionality at a very reasonable price. But do keep in mind that this box is only one third of a triad: you also need a stable computer and the X-air application software. All three work together to create a working mixer.

Great Mixer!!!

Which we had a budget for the XR32. This thing even got rid of some annoying static we had for months.
