Great on-stage monitor mixer
My band has the XR18 set up for stage monitoring. Guitars, bass, metronome, backing tracks, and kick samples run to the inputs and mixed wirelessly from a device with the app (drummer has a tablet, I use my MacBook). Each member gets a personalized mix from an Aux Out wireless in-ear transmitters. Everyone gets the metronome in their ears. Sound quality is top notch, and the onboard fx are nice (especially the eq). We also use some remaining outputs to run backing tracks to the FOH.
The XR18 also makes it possible to play without using cabs at all (we can run directly from our Avid Eleven Racks to FOH too), and sometimes we actually do practice in virtual silence when it's just guitars/bass.
Sturdy unit uses 3 rack spaces and works like a charm. For the price and functionality, it's a sweet deal.
