 ==== Introduction ====
-This document proposes a test procedure and results comparing Behringer XR18, Midas MR18 and Behringer WING performance.
+This document proposes for this purpose
+  * a test procedure
+  * RAW measurements
+  * Test results comparing Behringer XR18, Midas MR18 and Behringer WING performance
+  * An XR18 filter configuration to compensate its frequency response

     * As a consequence, these results are (1) immune to critical failures on one channel but are (2) prone to specimen bias.
   * **Statement #3** : XR18 has two high impedance instrument inputs which MR18 does not have. For the sake of comparing apples with apples, Input 9/10 and Output 1/2 are used as references on both units.
+  * **Statement #4** : There is a 10 year gap between XR/MR design and WING design. Consequently, the analog part is significantly less noise-sensitive on WING which directly derives from the technology gap.
+    * As a consequence, comparison will focus on analog comparison ONLY, and will not take into account the difference in digital signal processing that units are capable of. The technological gap in this field is even greater (processing bit depth, algorithm quality, etc...).

+===== Going Onwards =====
+Here is an XR18 EQ preset you can load which compensates the poor XR18 frequency response at 36dB Gain.
+Of course, you might need those EQ bands afterwards, it's just a modified starting point for those who want to have the sharpest start when configuring a setup.
