Behringer Wing Rack Digital Mixing Engine

Behringer Wing Rack Digital Mixing Engine packs the processing power, channel count, effects, expansion slots, and digital I/O of the full-size WING console into a space-saving rack mountable unit. That said, the WING Rack supplements its near-limitless digital connectivity with 24 award-winning Midas Pro preamps, making it an ideal all-in-one solution, even without a separate stage box. You get full access to all the WING Rack’s functions and parameters from its 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen, or you can take command via your mobile device or desktop.

What’s more, the intuitive Sources paradigm enables you to focus on your source audio rather than the nuts and bolts of your mix. You can record up to 64 channels directly to dual SD cards, use optional expansion cards to attain Dante support, or deploy the WING Rack’s built-in 48-in/48-out USB audio interface to record straight to your DAW. Furthermore, IEM users will appreciate the WING Rack’s four additional rear-panel stereo outputs and high-performance headphone amplifiers. Complete with 16 true-stereo processors with Standard and Classic modelled effects, the WING Rack is a top-shelf digital mixer that will elevate the capabilities of any small-scale live sound setup.

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 theatre project, WING offers an extremely comprehensive toolkit for recalling and triggering all elements of your show instantaneously, with the granularity you need. 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. Behringer Wing Rack 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. 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. You can easily change the WING LIVE card for a WING DANTE card, enabling full 64×64 channel Dante networking connectivity.

Transfer 32 channels of 44.1kHz/48kHz 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 30 m (100 feet). The StageConnect Configurator app helps to calculate channel count, power requirements, and cable lengths for StageConnect setups. Available for Mac, PC, and Linux.
