Behringer Announces Wing - A Futuristic New Mixing Console

Published in Nov-Dec 2019 Issue

Behringer has announced Wing, a digital mixing console with a futuristic look that offers eight Midas Pro mic preamps and eight Midas pro outputs. The new Behringer WING digital mixer, with a large capacitive touchscreen, enables the user to add tags (“vocal”, “guitar”, etc.) to each channel and thereby instantly assign a channel to a DCA or mute group. The device also features 24 motorized 100mm faders, 11 color TFT screens to display parameters, a 48-ins/48-outs USB audio interface with HUI control and the option of another 64 I/O via Ethernet, supporting WAVES Soundgrid. There are also two SD cards for recording straight to disk.

The Wing includes an additional four-channel control section, a Premium FX rack that offers eight true-stereo processors and includes TC algorithms and Lexicon, Quantec and EMT emulations, and a standard FX rack that contains a further eight true stereo processors that take care of workhorse effects.

Outboard effects can be blended into the mix as well. There are five variable plug-in processing slots for all 40 stereo input channels, as well as an insert FX slot and 4-band parametric EQ for all eight stereo aux channels. A further custom control section features more buttons and rotary encoders, and you get four main, eight matrix and 16 aux stereo buses that feature dual inserts, 8-parametric EQs, stereo imager, full dynamics processing and more.
