Revolutionary Auto-Mixing
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 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 up to 16 live microphones. Based on the legendary Dan Dugan
automix system, the X18’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 Engines
Equipped 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 – plus the X18 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 doesn’t have to do the heavy lifting during a mixing session with DAW plugins
as the X18 has a whole studio of FX under it’s hood.
Custom-designed, and physically modeled after some of the most iconic and sought-after
