Behringer WING RACK

Elevate your production to a new level with the black Behringer WING RACK, a 4 RU, 40-channel, 28-bus full-stereo rackmount digital mixing console with a large, 10″ capacitive touchscreen interface, and touch-sensitive rotary controls for a new ease of operation. The mixer is highly customizable, thanks to the three separate fader sections and a Custom Control section that can be tailored easily and intuitively to meet your personal requirements.

Wing offers 24 Midas PRO mic preamps and features eight XLR outputs as well as five 1/4″ TRS headphone outputs. Thankfully, the number of I/O can be expanded with three AES50 SuperMAC ports, the StageCONNECT port, and optional expansion cards for audio interfaces, digital network bridges, MADI, and ADAT/WC. There are five variable plug-in processing slots for all 40 stereo input channels. Each slot can host plug-ins based on iconic vintage analog equalizers and compressors, plus insert FX slot and 4-band parametric EQ for all 8 stereo aux channels.

• Large touch screen with rotary controls for intuitive parameter adjustments offers the same innovative user interface for which the full-size WING console is famous.

Midas PRO Preamps

24 Midas PRO Preamps Onboard

• Just like the venerable Midas M and PRO series mixers, WING RACK also comes with 24 Midas PRO preamps, delivering the same sweet sound and huge dynamic range.

All the Digital I/O

• It’s tiny but uncompromising. The WING RACK has exactly the same number of digital I/O as the full-size WING: AES50, USB, AoIP, StageConnect—you name it.

Source Audio

• WING stores the configuration (stereo/mono/mid-sides), gain, phantom power, along with a name, an icon, color and tags directly to every input. This combination is called a Source. You can easily edit Sources using your iPad while making the connections onstage.
• 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

• Switch between artists on the fly
• Manage multiple play out destinations with streaming or video
• Navigate complex live events with distributed or networked I/O
• Use the built-in 64-track recorder for virtual sound checks or live playback
• Connect to the 48-track USB audio interface for perfect integration with your DAW

Total Recall

Save and recall precise FX parameters, specific channel settings, console settings, or entire shows. Whether you’re working on a complex live performance or a musical theater project, WING offers an extremely comprehensive toolkit for recalling and triggering all elements of your show instantaneously, with the granularity you need.

World-Class Effects

• WING is equipped with over 80 unique effects and emulations inspired by renowned hardware like the Pultec EQ, SSL Bus Compressor, Gate/Expander, SPL Transient Designer, Neve EQ, Compressor, Gate, Focusrite ISA, and D3, DBX160, LA-2A, 1176, Elysia mPressor, and Empirical Labs Distressor. No external gear is required.
• WING boasts double the effect engines and insert points compared to the X32 and utilizes 40-bit internal processing algorithms, providing greater accuracy and an expanded dynamic range.

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 pre-recorded 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

• You can easily change the WING LIVE card for a WING DANTE card, enabling full 64×64 channel Dante networking connectivity. We are also planning other expansion cards for MADI and Waves Soundgrid, for example.

Plus Another 64×64 Channels via Internal AoIP Modules

• The internal AoIP (Audio over IP) modules can fit directly into the mainboard of your WING console and enable the two internal network ports for Ethernet-based audio transmission. Our retailers can also help you upgrade your existing WING or order a new WING console with your preferred card preinstalled. We currently have AoIP-Dante and AoIP-WSG (Waves Soundgrid) modules available.

StageConnect

• Transfer 32 channels of 44.1 kHz / 48 kHz and 24-bit audio to and from I/O interfaces, hubs, personal monitoring mixers, and more using just one XLR/DMX cable.
• Use a standard XLR mic cable for short connection, like connecting your side rack or internal rack connections.
• Using a regular 3-pin XLR DMX cable allows for long cable runs of over 30m (100 feet).
