• Channels are automatically configured from the connected Source information and are ready to go. This enables quick setups and on-the-fly adjustments, prevents errors, and makes it easier than ever to manage WING’s 370+ inputs. It’s like having your own custom toolbox, where everything you need is perfectly organized and ready to use.

Massive I/O Capability

Custom Configuration

Record Up to 64 Channels

• The WING LIVE card comes preinstalled and allows you to record up to 64 channels simultaneously to 2 linked SD cards, or take a prerecorded session and do a virtual soundcheck in the venue. You can also use one 32-track SD recorder for playback and the second one for recording the performance.

Swap Out External Cards with Ease

Plus Another 64×64 Channels via Internal AoIP Modules
