Tweak the mix from the balcony. Adjust the monitors from the performers' perspective. This is live mixing the way it should be — natural and intuitive. And the result? Better-sounding shows!

• Complete remote control over mix functions
• No need to set up and configure an exteal router

The XR16 includes free iOS, Android, and PC/Mac/Linux apps for remote operation via Etheet, LAN, or Wi-Fi.

Great-sounding mixes start here

Pristine preamps, ultra-wide dynamic range, and more

With eight Midas-designed mic preamps, and 40-bit floating-point DSP that delivers virtually unlimited dynamic range with no inteal overload and vanishingly low latency, the XR16 delivers impeccable sound quality — the same as Behringer's acclaimed X32 digital mixer. The XR16's preamps are fully programmable and remote-controllable from your iOS, Android, Mac, PC, or Linux device, for tons of flexibility in a live show situation. And because applications are loaded to the specific device, you can, for instance, prepare your channel layout offline while sitting in your car before a show.

• Acclaimed X32 technology for impeccable sound quality
• Fully programmable, remote-controllable preamps
• Applications loaded to specific device
• Facilitates offline pre-production

Full-featured Channel Processing and Routing

Features that will make you a sound-mixing hero

With numerous variables beyond your control, Sweetwater knows just how challenging mixing a live show can be. That's why Behringer designed the XR16 with smart features that can make you a sound-mixing hero. The XR16's channels are loaded for bear, with per-channel low-cut filters, gates, full dynamics (including compression, limiting, expansion, ducking, sidechaining, and more) fully parametric 4-band EQ, and routing to the four Aux outputs. When it comes to EQ, the XR16 lets you sculpt your tracks to perfection, courtesy of its 100-band Real Time Analyzer, built into every input channel and bus equalizer. With visual feedback built right into the control app, you can see exactly what you need to do, and make fast, surgical adjustments to frequencies that need a bit of boost or cut.

• Smart features make mixing easier
• Extensive per-channel processing
• 100-band Real Time Analyzer
• Visual feedback simplifies EQ

Studio-quality Effects

Virtual FX Rack with four true-stereo multi-effects processors

The XR16 has an entire arsenal of effects under the hood. The XR16's virtual FX Rack gives you access to four true-stereo (8 mono) multi-effects processors, including delay, chorus, and dynamics. This engine is beefy enough to simultaneously run high-quality, true-stereo reverbs and 31-band EQ, without the need for additional hardware. Select any combination of high-end simulations of classic studio reverbs such as the Lexicon 480L and PCM70, the EMT250 or Quantec QRS. The XR16's onboard processing means your computer won't be tasked with additional heavy lifting during a mixdown session with numerous plug ins.

• Four stereo multi-effects processors
• Simulations of legendary studio reverbs
• Robust FX engine
• Lightens the load on your computer
