The Behringer XR12 is a 12-input digital mixer for iPad and Android tablets. It has four programmable mic preamps designed by Midas and eight line inputs. It also has a built-in Wi-Fi module and a USB stereo recorder. There is no control surface, so you mix it from the X AIR apps. Showcaller AI adds voice and chat control to the Behringer XR12 through the Showcaller Bridge App. The [Behringer X AIR and Midas MR integration](/integrations/behringer-xair-midas-mr/) page lists every function.

### What Showcaller controls on the Behringer XR12

Showcaller talks to the mixer over the network with OSC on port 10024. For example, you can say **mute the lectern mic** or **bring channel 3 up 2 dB**. On Starter, Showcaller sets and reads channel faders and mutes, and renames channels. It also rides and mutes the main LR output and the mix buses. Pro adds the four DCA groups, the four-band channel EQ, gates and compressors. It also adds preamp gain, 48V phantom power, polarity and the high-pass filter. Then Enterprise adds effects sends, FX and aux return levels, channel colors and snapshots 1 to 64. Showcaller asks you first before it loads or saves a snapshot, switches phantom power or changes an effects send.

### What is different on the XR12

The model you pick in Showcaller sets which buses it offers. On the XR12, Showcaller offers mix buses 1 to 4, while the XR18 gets six. In hardware, the XR12 has two aux outputs on TRS jacks. Behringer also lists six aux buses in its processing. Only inputs 1 to 4 have mic preamps with 48V phantom power. So gain and phantom power requests apply to those four inputs. In addition, the USB port records stereo files to a drive, but Showcaller does not control that recorder. For network setup, a wired Ethernet link to the Bridge App computer is the better choice. That is because Showcaller waits at most 0.3 seconds for each read.

### Behringer XR12 vs Midas MR12

The Midas MR12 is the closest relative of the XR12. Behringer and Midas are both part of Music Tribe. Both mixers have 12 inputs, four mic preamps and eight line inputs. They also share the same outputs, Wi-Fi module and USB recorder. However, the preamps differ. Behringer describes the XR12 preamps as designed by Midas, while the MR12 uses Midas PRO preamps. The apps differ too: X AIR for the XR12 and M AIR for the MR12. Also, the MR12 weighs 2.9 kg, against 2.4 kg for the XR12. In Showcaller, both belong to the same XAir model family and get the same Tool Functions. See the [Midas MR12 page](/integrations/behringer-xair-midas-mr/midas-mr12/) for that model.
