Essential Information About the Behringer WING RACK Digital Mixing Engine
- 48 channels / 28 buses with flexible stereo architecture for live, studio, and broadcast applications.
- 24 MIDAS PRO preamps and 8 MIDAS PRO outputs for reference sound quality.
- 64-track recording on dual SD cards and 48x48 USB interface for production workflow.
- Expandable connectivity: 3 AES50 ports (up to 144 I/O), StageConnect, dual Ethernet, optional Dante/WSG/MADI cards.
The Heart of the WING Series in a 19-inch 4U Rack Format
Designed for tours and control rooms where every unit counts, the WING RACK condenses the mixing power of the WING range into a compact chassis. It easily integrates into flight cases, fixed or mobile control rooms, and serves both as a main engine and as a mirror/backup system for large productions.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
Front of house and monitor engineers, recording studios, live captures, houses of worship, and premium installations will find a reliable, silent, and versatile tool. Network control and dedicated apps allow remote operation of the console, while the USB interface and SD recording fit seamlessly into a modern workflow.
Features and Workflow Designed for Stage and Studio
Mixing and Processing
The architecture offers 40 stereo input channels and 8 stereo auxiliary channels, each with 5 variable plugin slots. Flexible routing relies on 4 main buses, 8 matrix buses, and 16 stereo auxiliary buses, with dual inserts, 8-band parametric equalizers, full stereo processing, and dynamics. Sixteen stereo effects engines and over 80 algorithms cover reverbs, delays, modulation, and specialized processing. Eight mute groups and 8 DCAs speed up complex scene management.
Capture and Interface
The dual SD card recorder/player captures up to 64 tracks with markers, while the 48x48 USB audio/MIDI interface ensures seamless integration with your preferred DAW.
Connectivity and Extensions
Three AES50 SuperMac ports handle up to 144 signals with only 6 samples latency. The internal AoIP module is expandable to 64 channels via Dante or Waves SoundGrid, and the rear expansion slot accepts 64-channel interfaces and network cards (Dante, WSG, or MADI). StageConnect allows up to 32 bidirectional channels via a single XLR connection. Dual Ethernet ports with integrated switch facilitate control and redundancy.
Control and Integration
The 10.1-inch multi-touch screen with adjustable tilt, 8 buttons, and 4 customizable encoders provide immediate control. DAW control via Mackie Control Universal protocol offers presets for Cubase, Ableton Live, Logic Pro X, Nuendo, Pro Tools, Reaper, and Studio One. WING-CoPilot, WING-Q, and WING-Edit enable offline editing and mobile control. Four amplified headphone outputs for IEM applications, 4 GPIO channels, and 5-pin MIDI In/Out complete the integration.
