Open Box Behringer X AIR XR16 Digital Rackmount Mixer Level 1

Very compact unit, and nothing to wear out ,all the controls are on the IPad. The software at first seems complicated but it is nice once you get used to it. The ability to control everything digitally is really awesome. Also not having to use a snake will be a big plus. I haven't used at a gig yet but the onboard wireless works good and also used a router and that worked great.

It like a mixer and snake all in one place this on stage and plug in. That's it. All the software modeling effect make easy to convince everyone to us DI. Love this thing cause I'm the baddest and the sound man. It makes it east to control the mix and be on stage.

This is a great, affordable digital mixer that does just about everything we need it to do. There are enough mic inputs to handle the guitars (mic'd from their amps), the vocals and a few drum mics (2 overheads and the kick). Other instruments, like keyboards, plug into the TRS connections. Plus, we can control separate monitor feeds so the drummer and the vocalists can hear the vocals, and the guitar can hear... well... the guitar. ;-) Having a few effects is very nice: adding a little reverb to the backing vocals and gated reverb on the kick gives the sound some pizzazz. Love the effects. We can even route the sound of bus 5 and 6 to the headphones and specialize that mix which we then send to wireless in-ear monitors for the lead vocalist. Love the versatility of this mixer! This would definitely get 5 stars, except that the built-in Access Point is too weak to rely on while on stage. For stage performances, if you want to be able to control it during the show (and you do!), you need to use an external access point (router) and connect through that. Otherwise, it is a bit hit and miss whether you can connect to the router in a space that has maybe 200 cell phones and other electronic devices competing for bandwidth. It's an inconvenience, but it isn't a show stopper by any means. One other note: it is challenging to learn at first. But there are lots of YouTube videos available that will walk you through the basics and get you going. Then you just need to spend a little time and play (and play, and play! I love play time with this thing).

I bought this so I could adjust the sound from my iPad but when i heard the clarity I was very pleased. I did have to call Behringer to get password saved

I purchased my second XR16 as an open box deal. Great Price for a great digital mixer! Once I opened the box, original packaging I will add, I found the rack ears for the rack mountable mixer were no where to be found. Some one opened the box to help them self to the rack ears. Closed it up and now they sold it for less. No where in the description before purchasing did the description say NO RACK EARS for this rack mounted mixer.

Love this mixer! I bought an XR18 for the auditorium I run sound for and, was so impressed, I had to get one for my solo act.
