Employed by the most famous touring acts and installations worldwide, legendary MIDAS consoles such as the XL4 and Heritage H3000 quickly became industry standards.MIDAS has earned their impeccable reputation due to their no-compromise approach for audio and build quality and in particular for their Award-winning Mic Preamps which are considered by industry experts as the industryäó»s best sounding designs. Building on this legacy, the XL8 and PRO Series of Live Mixing Systems continue this great heritage of Award-winning audio quality.BEHRINGER is proud to incorporate MIDAS designed mic preamps for the ultimate in high-quality audio reproduction in both live and studio environments. Find out more about MIDASäó» amazing legacy by visiting their extensive website.Built-In Tri-Mode Wifi RouterDesigned for the ultimate in mobility, the XR12 comes with an integrated Wifi module for direct control of your mixeräó»s functions äóñ without the need to setup and configure an external router. The XR12 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 artistäó»s perspective äóñ or better yet, let them mix their own IEMs and floor monitors via their own tablets.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.Wifi 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 Wifi router, e.g., for extended range or 5 GHz applications.USB Connectivity and Stereo RecordingThe front panel USB type-A connector makes the XR12 not only an amazingly powerful digital mixing solution, but also allows recording your live stereo tracks directly to attached USB flash media or harddrives. 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 in a break.Whether youäó»re making rock history in the studio, or you want to capture intimate live performances äóñ itäó»s never been easier to record stunning tracks with exceptional clarity.Revolutionary Auto-MixingWhen your application calls for a multiple-microphone setup, such as an onstage panel discussion, press conference or courtroom proceeding, etc., it can become a challenge to maintain so many open mics äóñ and preserve maximum gain and priority for the moderator.A major first for compact audio mixers, our revolutionary X AIR Gain Sharing technology can easily manage fully automated mixes with several live microphones. Based on the legendary Dan Dugan automix system, the XR12äó»s gain sharing paradigm automatically controls the levels of all selected microphones in real time, without any gating artifacts or noise modulation.This function dramatically reduces the typical feedback, studio noise and comb filtering challenges that can occur when two, or more mics are in close proximity of each another. X AIR Gain Sharing technology provides a consistent system gain structure, even when multiple speakers are talking at the same time.4 Onboard X32 Effects EnginesEquipped with the very same FX engines as the now legendary X32 Digital Mixing Console, the onboard virtual FX Rack provides access to four true-stereo (8 mono), multi-effects processors including delay, chorus, dynamics äóñ plus the XR12 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 doesnäó»t have to do the heavy lifting during a mixing session with DAW plugins as the XR12 has a whole studio of FX under itäó»s 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 X32 mix engine, ensuring flawless performance, flexible routing and the end of cable faults forever!100-Band RTA for all Channel/ Bus EQäó»sThe XR12 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 äóñ 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 äóñ and 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!Uncompromised Channel ProcessingThe XR12 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. Youäó»ll wonder how you ever EQäó»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 äóñ 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 youäó»re more of the äóÖplug and playäó» type, Simple mode lets you either select from one of our 4 carefully-optimized presets äóñ or load your own channel templates. Add to this 40-Bit, floating-point DSP and youäó»ll experience virtually äóìunlimitedäó? 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 äóñ 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, youäó»ll love it even more when we tell you that 100-band RTAs are available for these, too!MIDI In/Out for Live Performance ControllersThe physical MIDI I/O port on the XR12 mixer can also be used for connecting external MIDI controllers, such as our X-TOUCH or B-CONTROL products, for dynamically controlling channel level, muting and panorama adjustments during your performance. And since the full-featured XR12 also supports the Mackie Control protocol, you easily apply comprehensive remote editing and parameter adjustments via any compatible MIDI devices.Dedicated Apps and Software äóñ All Platforms CoveredSince we realize that äóìone size doesnäó»t always fit alläó?, we went the extra mile and provided apps for all the most popular devices and operating systems. So we engaged dedicated (and highly caffeinated) development teams for our iOS*, Android*, PC/Mac* and Linux* based applications for the XR12 mixer. When you download an XR12 app for your OS, you can rest assured that you will get the fully optimized experience we intended.Stunning Performance äóñ Superb Value
