Behringer Wing Compact Digital Mixer

The Behringer WING Compact packs the processing power, channel count, effects, expansion slots, and digital I/O of the full-size WING into a lightweight, 13-fader control surface. That said, the WING Compact 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. A 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen and intuitive Sources paradigm provide streamlined navigation, enabling you to focus on your source audio rather than the nuts and bolts of your mix. You’ll also appreciate the enhanced customization afforded by the WING Compact’s eight user-assignable buttons, plus you get a dedicated Bus/Main/DCA section for fader usage and effect and DCA spill. You can record up to 64 channels directly to dual SD cards, use optional expansion cards to attain Dante support, or deploy the WING Compact’s built-in 48-in/48-out USB audio interface to record straight to your DAW. Complete with 16 true-stereo processors with Standard and Classic modelled effects, the WING Compact is a top-shelf digital console 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. 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.

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 64x64 channel Dante networking connectivity. 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.

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. Need assistance with calculating cable lengths? Try the StageConnect Configurator app. 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.
