Nice mixer for a great price
I know this is a PA mixer, but I've purchased it for my small home studio setup after having read up on the extensive samplerate debate ;)
I'm doing every processing in the box (Harrison mixbus) and all I need is enough preamps and an easy way to control them.
I like the fact that you can just save several presets and recall them with the press of a button. This in conjunction with using templates in your DAW gets you on your way and recording in no time.
Figuring out how to setup the device to be used as a usb interface sending the signal back from the box wasn't without hassle though, but after I got it working I couldn't be happier with my choice.
As for how it would perform in the intended environment (as a PA mixer), I can only assume it does more than fine. The feature set is great (compressor, eq, sends, aux busses...) everything you need is there.
So in short, if you need something compact, versatile and clean sounding, look no further. :)

fantastic mixer at the price.
i've been using this at gigs for nearly 2 years (that's about 200 shows). 2 mics, 1 acoustic guitar, plus various keys and guitar processors, so typically 12-14 channels in use. i've also used it in a home studio periodically.
good points: 1 - sound quality is fine; 2 - reliability has been perfect; 3 - functionality and features are quite good; 4 - very easy to set up and use.
bad points: 1 - the built-in wifi is nowhere near good enough for use at gigs (a good dual-band router is a must if you want to take it on the road); 2 - i've used various control devices, and their GUI implementation varies between ok and poor, but i've found using an iPad or other tablet is the best option.
it's a fantastic mixer for the price, but when i can afford to spend more i will invest in something with better audio specs, more reliably functional user control interface and with a better set of recording options.

As expected
A good item. Just what you would expect. Very easy to understand fro a beginner and lots of fun stuff to do if You have experience with this stuff.
We are using this for our in-ear monitoring systems. And there have been no problems up to now.

Almost perfect
We use this mixer for silent rehearsals, 6 buses perfect for personal monitoring for each band member.
Pros: many, many options, flexible routing and separate channel effects. You can save the full setup , and channel setups separate. You can use other users setup, you can change setups on internet.
16 channel recording.
Cons: the internal wifi router is very poor quality. I suggest to use an external wifi router.

Very nice!
Lots of features, effects, good sound, perfect for smaller bands.
Although I wasn't really a Behringer "fan" (one of the worst analog mixer I ever had was a Behringer :) ), I got it because of the very good reviews and the recommendation of a colleague of mine, who also has one and only had positive experiences!

Good mixer for the price.
Check out the features in the XR18 description. The built in router is not so great. Better buy external router. Everything else worked great. Mixer is easy to set up and control. For rehearsals, small concerts and a project studio it does everything.
