4X AIR User Manual
1.Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the new Behringer X AIR series digital mixer. These mixers offer plenty of analog I/O for most performances in a very compact form factor that is easy to transport, but doesn’t sacrifice any mixing power.
With high-end features taken from the flagship X32 mixer, such as MIDASdesigned preamps, high-quality effects, P-16 monitoring on the X18/XR18, and USB recording capability, these consoles far outperform their size.
Mixing live shows can now be done from anywhere in the venue thanks to the wireless control options that allow all software functions to be controlled from an iPad*, Android* tablet or PC. While a dedicated external router can be used, it is not necessary thanks to the integrated Wifi module. This allows monitors to be adjusted while standing on stage, and the main mix to be perfected from anywhere in the crowd.
In addition to dedicated aux buses for monitoring, the X AIR has 4 studio-quality stereo effects processors. In fact, these are the same great effects found in the acclaimed X32 mixer, including legendary reverb, echo and chorus algorithms.
Not just a live sound tool, the X18 and XR18 feature an 18x18 USB audio/MIDI interface, and the XR12 and XR16 allow 2-track stereo recording. This makes for a great mobile recording device, home studio interface, and enables live performances to be multitracked for later mixing.
Continue through this manual to learn all about the functionality of your mixer, as well as the X AIR software.

4.Network Connection
The X AIR mixers offer convenient digital control of the various mixing functions in three different ways - via Ethernet LAN, or wirelessly as a Wifi Client or as an Access Point. Selection is made with the REMOTE switch. You may view or change the network preferences for these on any of the X AIR remote control applications on the ’Setup/Network’ page.
4.1 IP Address and DHCP
Depending on the connection scenario, the X AIR mixers offer up to 3 options for connecting a tablet or PC for software control – DHCP Client, DHCP Server, and fixed IP operation. Connection is achieved differently depending on which option you choose:
DHCP Client mode is available in Ethernet LAN or Wifi Client operation. The mixer will automatically request an IP lease from the DHCP server that owns the IP addresses in the network to which you are trying to connect.
DHCP Server (DHCPS) is optionally available for Ethernet LAN connections and is standard in Access Point operation. The mixer will own the IP addresses and provide IP leases to devices requesting access to that network. The mixer will always use IP address 192.168.1.1 and assign IP addresses 192.168.1.101 –
192.168.1.132 to its clients.
Static IP is available for Ethernet LAN and Wifi Client operation. The mixer will use the fixed (static) IP address, subnet mask and gateway that you specify for registering on the network. Make sure that the addresses you specify manually are not conflicting with any other addresses on the same network. We generally recommend using the DHCP mode, unless you have a very specific reason to set it up manually.
Note: Changing parameters of the currently selected connection mode will disconnect the software from the console. If the console is erroneously configured for a fixed IP address that is incompatible with the network it is connected to, the console will be inaccessible. In this case, one of the other
two connection modes can be used to regain access and amend the settings. If that does not work, hold the Reset button for 2 seconds to return to default network settings.

4.3 Wifi Client
This mode supports DHCP Client (default) and fixed IP operation. The X AIR mixers can support WEP, WPA and WPA2 security mechanisms in Wifi Client mode and works on Wifi channels 1-11.
Correct SSID (network name) and password need to be supplied to connect to an existing network. WEP passwords have to be either 5 characters or 13 characters long. If the supplied SSID and password are incorrect, the mixer cannot be accessed. In this case the networking parameters have to be reset and another connection mode has to be used to regain access.
The Ethernet connection mode may be used for configuration of the
Wifi Client mode. While being connected in Ethernet mode, the X AIR mixer can scan the available wireless networks and display their SSID network names, field strength and security method. By selecting the preferred wireless network, this information can be copied to the applications’ Wifi Client setup page automatically. You will then be prompted to fill in the security password of that network. After switching from Ethernet to Wifi Client mode, the mixer should connect to the selected wireless network automatically, and will be displayed by remote applications on any device connected to the same network.

This mode supports DHCP Client (default), DHCP Server, and fixed IP operation. Note that if the mixer is connected to a network where no DHCP server is present, the mixer will generate an automatic IP address (range 169.254.1.0 – 169.254.254.255). There are no security options for LAN connections,
so any device in that network may take control of connected X AIR consoles. When connecting via LAN/Ethernet to a Wifi router, make sure the security settings of that router prevent unauthorized access.
