Hi! Awesome video! But I would advice using splitters with input and direct output in front and second output in the back. Like ART S8 3way. Yes its more expensive but makes your kit cleaner and wont require keeping all wires for FOH hanging out of the rack. Cutting the hole in the XR18s rack mount will make it easier for cable management especially for those racks where you will have to leave one unit empty for cables and you wont need to take out behringer from the rack to change cables. OR just put xr18 with its inputs inside the rack. XR18 does not have any faders/buttons/triggers on it that are crucial on the stage
Thanks for info, as the splitter is only occasionally used, I have gone over to a 0.25m 8way to db25, and plug in the other side of the db25 when needed which is much better. I also use an X32 rack which has inputs on back. Thanks for sharing your advice - all useful to others building racks
Ohhh, cutting a hole in the fins of the XR18 is an inspired idea! I'm trying to adjust how my system works because it's a pain running all the cables every show - currently I use 2 6U soft bags and have to cable it all up for each show. The split snake I bought is a floor box so there's no way to leave that plugged up. Looking at a new 14U rolling rack w/rack mount splitters and all of it contained and hooked up. When running a show with my own sound, just plug in mic inputs like normal. When running IEMs only - allow house tech to plug directly into my rig and hand him (marked) tail. Should work a lot more efficiently and cut down on set-up time by 15-30m. Only problem is how to get a 14/16U rolling rack up/down stairs. Does a hand-truck work OK for that? I'm getting too old to just
Great walk through. I've just ordered the X18R for my band and will at some point be looking to install it in a rack system. Question about the tray for the IEM transmitters, where did you get this as the standard rack kit is for only 1 transmitter? I have the LD Systems MEI 1000 G2 transmitter (as does my oppo) and would be looking to recreate your setup. Cheers Andy
hi, great video! it is exactly what i want to build with my behringer xr18 for IEM for rehearsals and smaller gigs! one question - how do you plug in the keys into the splitter? is it 2x jack from keboard into some kind of DI Box -> xlr to splitter? i wuld like to use 17/18 inputs on behringer for keys, do you think it's possible?
Yep I have looked at that - just a cost issue as it is a few hundred pounds, which I have not got at present! It is a great solution though. The splitter also protects the x32 sockets from damage as well…
Hey ! Thanks for the video ! Very nice since I am looking into building a similar system. Quick question: can you plug all these standard XLR and stille close the rack flawlessly? We would like to have kind of a set and forget approach.
Yes, the XLRs that plug into the mixer stay plugged in, and the case front closes fine. I have revised the rack now with an X32 Rack and P-16 units, so have a look at that video too!
The Midas DN4816-O makes the splitter unnecessary. Use the ultranet out from the mixer to the DN4816, which requires one shielded CAT cable and provides 16 XLR outs.
Indeed it does. Very good point. I don’t think this was available at the time I built the rack, but it is something I have looked at, thanks. I also use my split now for a backup mixer - connected with xlr to db25 at the splitter, and then a db25 to mixer pre connected, so I just have to plug in. I also have a separate db25 to xlr for connecting to a managed PA if needed. If the DN4816 is used, if the mixer failed, it would not work…. I always like a backup plan!
Greetings - do you have a workaround for sending a stereo output for each of the individual Aux outs where my IEM amplifiers are connected to? I essentially just want to be able to pan different instruments on both my left and right ears. I currently use a Behringer PM-1 and all my sound comes in on the left ear which is a big mush of sound.
Behringer make the powerplay P1 which is a powered stereo unit. Thus it can take a stereo input. The XR18 also has ultranet output, so you can use the P-16 16 channel units, which I have just bought, and they are amazing as you can pan and eq.
The XR18 can only do 3 stereo aux mixes: buss 1/2, buss 3/4, buss 5/6 plus the LR mix. Stereo mixes always use up two busses. If you need more than three stereo mixes (plus the LR mix) the P16 is your best option. If you just need one stereo mix, the PM1 will work fine. Note: the PM1 is great unit but it’s not designed to work from balanced aux outs. It’s designed to be a remote volume control for an unbalanced headphone output. Lucky for you, the XR18 has a headphone jack. Headphone jack… plug your PM1 into the headphone jack on the XR18 with a 1/4” TRS to XLR cable as shown in the PM1 quick start guide. You will still need a pair of busses linked in stereo on the XR18 (BUSS 5/6 for example). To get your stereo linked buss pair to the headphone jack instead of the aux outs, go the the monitor page in the app (“monitor” means headphone output on the XR18) and assign your linked stereo buss pair (BUSS 5/6 for example) as the “source” for monitor (the headphone jack). This puts your linked stereo buss pair into the headphone jack. Turn up the headphone volume control on the XR18 front panel, turn up PM1, turn up the buss (BUSS 5/6 for example) and mix. You could use a balanced aux out on the XR18 for a mono mix into the PM1 or even get a stereo mix by using two aux outs into a Y adaptor that converts the two balanced mono signals into a single unbalanced stereo stereo signal, (see the XR18 quick start guide) but just like mono, you might not have enough volume. If you really need to use the aux outs in stereo, just get a P1 and a pair of XLRs.
Hi, nice video, it gave me quite a few ideas for my own rack case. Just one question how did you attach wireless router to the top of the IEM transmitter?
Most (or many) splitters work by having a true wired link and a second transformer link. As long as your mixer or source of phantom power is on the true link, then it passes. So when we play in a venue with a managed PA we give the PA the transformer split, and control the phantom power ourselves. Hope this helps.
Can you please explain how you managed the antenna connections from the IEM wireless units and the the router? Do you have them all going to that one big antenna on the front?
@@tmmmusicstudioYou're not kidding more cost. I hadn't heard of these before you just mentioned it - $800 gets you about the cheapest on the market it seems. Costly, but what a space-saver. I think I'll just continue to use my cobbled together antenna wiring.
Hi, I had a look on ebay at the power strip that you're using. Is it possible to flip the rack ears so that the power outlets are facing the interior of the rack?
Unfortunately not. Its a fairly cheap unit that provides surge protection only, and the rack ears are fixed. You might be able to mount it on the inside of a very thin rack shelf, as it is only 7 or 8 cm wide. I have it facing outwards as I plug the Artnet light interface and laptop into it at the gig.
Just had a look on ebay. Mine is a metal frame which goes along the whole strip, but there are some that look like there are rack ears that could be reversed. Mine is poss 7 years old, so probably not available now
Hello! Thank you for sharing your experience! I have Soundcraft UI24 and searching to buy a shallow rack 8 or 10 units. Didn't find it. Any idea? Thanks!
@@tmmmusicstudio Thanks for your answer. Meantime I have built my own custom rack... :) I have put inside my mixer, two mic and guitar receivers and my guitar VOX20 amp\processor.
The link connection goes to the rack mixer so that 48v phantom (for DI box and drum overhead condenser mic) can be controlled from mixer, and the transformer side split goes to the cable for passing to a FoH PA, or we would also use it for our backup mixer… Thanks
@@tmmmusicstudio thank you - in reading the MS8000 manual, I found that part confusing. What about the warning here: "WARNING! Be careful when using phantom power on linked channels. If two linked channels both have phantom power sources connected to their respective LINK OUT XLR jacks, phantom-powered mics or DI boxes may receive too much current." I don't think we will be using the link function in a traditional in ear mixer setup as we need 1:1 inputs/outputs for all the different instruments. Any information you can provide would be of great help! THNX!
@DavidMacVicar did not see that but seems reasonable if linked, however I am not sure of a practical use of the channel linking. I’ll dig out the manual and take a look - thanks
@@tmmmusicstudio however i think that they can only fit like those thinner balanced cables. Like example the Canare L2B2AT or something similar. Just a thinner balanced cable
Difficult to say without looking in person. Make sure the input gain on the mixer is at a good level, set to 0db (although some people will set at -6), and then have a good signal that is green on the meter and only occasionally peaks into yellow. I assume your in ears are fed through a bus, so just make sure the levels to the buss are good. Are you using cables to a headphone amp, or to a wireless box. The headphone side needs to be active to amplify the line level signal (I know its obvious but just checking), some wireless in ears will also have a gain knob you can turn up. Use good cables. They dont need to be mega expensive - for live stuff I use visiosound or stagg, cheap but good quality. Hope this helps. Also splitter does have ground lift and link buttons - make sure these are off unless you want them on…
The case was bought off ebay - not labelled - but “gator” style, and the power strip is just a cheap one from ebay with surge protection only, not conditioning.
no. it sounds fine. I am a big advocate of Behringer gear. it is often criticised, but I have always found it to be reliable, good quality and good build quality too
I'm using an MS8000 too and have had zero problems. One thing to note - make sure to wire the correct output to the mixer (the wired link) so you can pass phantom power to microphones - I learnt that lesson recently!
We have actually gone over to P-16 personal monitors now, but there was not an issue. I think there can be , and a combiner with a separate antenna is always best if you can afford it. I tried to space them i. The box as much as I could.
Superb. Just superb. Both bands i play with use them. I use them for theatre pit stuff i do, and I have a P-16i and two in the studio too. They are great
Absolutely, however, the good thing about many of the digital mixers is the number of auxiliary outputs available to be separate mixes for different people. But some analog mixers might be adequate
Digital mixer will let you do SO much more and cost about the same. But there is no reason it wouldn't work if you found a unit that has all the i/o you need. I love having gates and high pass on every channel.
As a solo act I wouldn't imagine you would need a system setup like this but if you did than you just need 1 channel for every mic cable you plug in. The splitters usually only come in groups of 8 so if your plugins are less than 8 channels than yes you would only need 1 splitter.

link case?
Do you mean is the brand link?
@@tmmmusicstudio Yes, case link please
