Behringer WING COMPACT 48-Channel 28-Bus Digital Mixing Console

Behringer WING COMPACT 48-Channel 28-Bus Digital Mixing Console

The Behringer WING COMPACT 48-Channel 28-Bus Digital Mixing Console features a console surface optimized for fast and accurate operation, excelling specifically in monitor mixing applications. Its dedicated master and bus section, with 4 layers of 16 hotkeys clearly labeled on its own color display, is breaking new ground in terms of speed and overview. The large touch screen with rotary controls for intuitive parameter adjustments offers the same innovative user interface that the full-size WING console is famous for.

24 MIDAS PRO PREAMPS ON BOARD

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

ALL THE DIGITAL I/O

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

YOUR "SOURCE" OF 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 on stage.

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 380+ inputs. It’s like having your own custom toolbox, where everything you need is perfectly organized and ready to use.

INSANE I/O

Literally Hundreds of Ins and Outs, 382 inputs and 368 outputs on WING COMPACT give you the freedom to adapt to any scenario:

• 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

ANALOG XLR/TRS INPUTS

The same Midas PRO preamps as in the M32 and DL32 series provide great sound with unmatched dynamic range. The XLR/TRS combo connector allows connecting both microphone and line-level cables to the input, often removing the need for DI boxes.

STAGECONNECT - THE FUTURE OF XLR

Features 32-channel bidirectional audio transmission with sub-millisecond latency over a standard 3-pin XLR DMX cable or XLR microphone cable for short distances. The StageConnect host device provides 18W of power and control for client devices, several of which can be used in a chain.

AES50 SUPERMAC

The 3 ports provide a total of 144 input and 144 output streams from external devices like digital stageboxes, personal monitoring systems, supplemental consoles, and more. The point-to-point connections don't require any network configuration, are rock-solid, and perform at exactly 6-sample latency (0.125 milliseconds).

EXPERIENCE 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.

ENJOY 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.

RECORD UP TO 64 CHANNELS

The WING LIVE card comes pre-installed 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 64x64 channel Dante networking connectivity. Behringer are also planning other expansion cards for MADI and Waves Soundgrid, for example.

PLUS ANOTHER 64X64 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.
