## What is XAir Monitor Mixer?

XAir Monitor Mixer is a personal monitor mixer for select Behringer and Midas digital mixers. It allows each musician on stage to choose exactly what they hear in their monitor without affecting (or being able to affect, even by accident) the band's main mix.

XAir Monitor Mixer supports the Behringer X18, XR18, XR16, XR12, and the Midas MR18 and MR12.

XAir Monitor Mixer deliberately does not include controls that would allow a musician on stage to accidentally mute channels or otherwise alter the main mix.

Usage:

1. Connect to the same WiFi network as the XR18.  In most cases, this should be enough for the app to find your mixer. However, if your sound engineer has changed the default address of the mixer, you'll have to enter that address in the app's connection screen.
2. Choose which monitor you want to mix. If your sound engineer hasn't named these in a way that makes it obvious which is yours, ask him which is yours.
3. Mix away. :)

If you have feedback, suggestions, or bug reports, please visit the forums at xairmonitormixer.tetzfiles.com or send an email to xairmonitormixer@tetzfiles.com.

Note: support for mixers other than XR18 was recently added. If you run into any issues, please let us know. Ensuring proper compatibility with all supported mixers is our top priority.

### 3/5 — Ok but issues

*2026-08-01*

Disappointing Update – Please Bring Back Portrait Mode

I’ve used XAir Monitor Mixer for a long time, and it used to work great. On my iPad, if the app didn’t open in portrait mode, I could simply rotate the iPad to landscape and then back to portrait, and it would display correctly.

Since the latest update, that workaround no longer works. The app is stuck in landscape, making it much less usable on stage while I’m playing. I need to view it in a vertical portrait orientation, and landscape just isn’t practical in a live performance.

Please restore proper portrait mode support for iPads. It was one of the app’s best features, and without it, the app is far less useful for live musicians.

**Developer response:** Oops. I rushed out a fix for someone and that someone slipped in.

FIXED! Please check out the current version and let me know if you have any issues.

If you need any additional refinements, you can let me know on Discord: https://discord.gg/gpqaujYAr

### 1/5 — July 2026 Doesn’t Work at All Anymore

*2026-07-26*

Don’t bother… This was good for a good while, but doesn’t work anymore and won’t recognize your mixer.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-05-28, version 1.03*

Does
Not work pls give money back

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2026-04-30, version 1.03*

This app won’t connect to Xair 99% of the time. Yes, I’m on the xair router.

### 5/5 — So far, so good

*2026-03-29*

I was able to connect with the external wifi but I had to make sure the IP address was correct.    For some reason it was automatically trying to connect to an IP address that was off by one digit.   Once I noticed it and made the correction it connected right away

### 2/5 — No me gusta

*2026-03-06, version 1.03*

Se cierra sola y o poner en negro

### 1/5 — Cost

*2025-12-20, version 1.03*

Why paying for a product i already purchase

### 1/5 — Review

*2025-08-08, version 1.03*

I paid for the App. Gig after gig, I was not able to connect to the mixer. Big disappointment.

### 1/5 — Not connecting to external

*2025-07-26, version 1.03*

App is not connecting to our external router. It does connect to Xair 18 internal router.
I see this may be a common issue from other reviews. Yes IP address is correct. Is there a fix for this? Hate to pay for something that we can’t use.

### 1/5 — Don’t spend the money

*2025-06-17, version 1.03*

Complete garbage
