18-Input Digital Mixer for iPad/Android Tablets with 16 Midas PRO Preamps,
Integrated WiFi Module and Multi-Channel USB Audio Interface
The Midas M32 completely redefined what is possible from a digital mixer – and thousands of users are enjoying the results. Now that technology has been incorporated into the small but powerful MR18 rack-mountable mixer, which will forever change the way you record and the way you play live music.
 
16 Midas Pro Mic Preamps
The Midas Pro mic amp was developed for the PRO Series mixing consolea, It is found in the M32, and has been recognized by leading live sound and recording engineers as the very essence of the famous Midas sound. It is here in the MR18 that more than 40 years of design excellence has come together with premium-grade components to provide unparalleled warmth and depth, subtle ambience, and immaculate spatial positioning, for more precise imaging than competing models.
The award-winning Midas microphone preamplifier has inspired generations of live sound engineers to do their best work, creating sonic landscapes that have captivated audiences worldwide. MR18 comes equipped with 16 Midas Pro preamps, all of which are literally ready for your input via Neutrik combo connectors with locking latches.
 
Built-In Tri-Mode Wi-Fi Router
Designed for the ultimate in mobility, the MR18 comes with an integrated Wi-Fi module for direct control of your mixer’s functions – without the need to set up and configure an external router. The MR18 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 artist’s perspective—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.
Wi-Fi 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 Wi-Fi router, e.g., for extended range or 5 GHz applications.
Recording Simplified
The incredibly fast and comprehensive 18x18 channel, bidirectional USB interface makes the MR18 an amazingly powerful digital mixing solution for recording directly to your iPad or PC. Dial in the perfect monitoring mix with effects and zero-latency while sending up to 16 source signals and the keyboard player's MIDI notes to your DAW for recording and editing.
 
Advanced Automixing Capabilities
When 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 and still  preserve maximum gain and priority for the moderator.
A major first for compact audio mixers, Behringer's revolutionary M AIR Gain Sharing technology can easily manage fully automated mixes with up to 16 live microphones. Based on the legendary Dan Dugan automix system, the MR18’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 other. M AIR Gain Sharing technology provides a consistent gain structure, even when multiple speakers are talking at the same time.
 
Four Onboard M32 Effect Engines
Equipped with the very same FX engines as the now legendary M32 Digital Mixing Console, the onboard virtual FX Rack provides access to four true-stereo (8 mono) multi-effect processors including delay, chorus, and dynamics, plus the MR18 can run production-quality, true-stereo reverbs concurrently with a 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, or the EMT250 and Quantec QRS reverbs. Onboard processing means your computer no longer has to do the heavy lifting during a mixing session with DAW plug-ins, as the MR18 has a whole studio of FX under its bonnet.
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 M32 mix engine, ensuring flawless performance, flexible routing, and the end of cable faults.
     100-Band RTA for all Channels / Bus EQs.
The MR18 includes a high-resolution, 100-band, real-time analyzer (RTA), with full bar and spectrograph views. This high-resolution RTA displays audio energy distribution in 100 frequency bands over time, capturing a sonogram window for 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—and see the results of your filter choices. Additionally, the RTA can be displayed on top of the 31-band graphic EQs in the Main LR or Aux buses.
 
16 Channels of Personal Monitoring
Behringer's proprietary ULTRANET connectivity allows you to send 16 digital sources over a lightweight and easy-to-deploy Cat 5e cable to P16-D Digital ULTRANET Distributors (sold separately), or directly to P16-M Personal Monitor Mixers (sold separately). This powerful and advanced technology makes it easy for individual performers to create their own More Me mix, and frees you to put on your best show. ULTRANET provides the perfect conduit for sending your mix to the new Turbosound iQ Series loudspeakers, which can tap directly into the 16-channel digital bus.
