Elevate your production to a new level with the gray Behringer WING, a 40-channel, 28-bus full-stereo digital mixing console with a 24-fader motorized control surface, a large, 10" capacitive touchscreen interface, and touch-sensitive rotary controls for a new ease of operation. The mixer is highly customizable, thanks to the three separate fader sections and a Custom Control section that can be tailored easily and intuitively to meet your personal requirements.
Wing offers 8 Midas PRO mic preamps and features eight XLR outputs as well as eight 1/4" auxiliary inputs and outputs. Thankfully, the number of I/O can be expanded with three AES50 SuperMAC ports, the StageCONNECT port, and optional expansion cards for audio interfaces, digital network bridges, MADI, and ADAT/WC. There are five variable plug-in processing slots for all 40 stereo input channels. Each slot can host plug-ins based on iconic vintage analog equalizers and compressors, plus insert FX slot and 4-band parametric EQ for all 8 stereo aux channels.

Source Driven Design
- Normally, consoles focus on input numbers assigned to channels and auxes. WING is offering a substantially different perspective by focusing on the Source as the reason for any mixing, say a bass drum signal or the lead vocal. Inputs are therefore given more properties than just a number.
- Sources can be in mono, stereo, or mid-side mode, own headamp parameters like gain and phantom power, with specific source mute and metering. They can also be given a color, icon, name, and several tags for grouping and filtering purposes. All of this describes the actual Source first, before channels are used for processing or mixing.
- The beauty of this is that you can label Sources using our WING Co-Pilot app while patching on stage and no matter if the signal is patched to a channel, to SD recording or to any other output, you will always see and refer to that Source.
Mono/Stereo
All 48 input channels and 28 bus mixes can be used for mono, stereo, or mid-side sources. Assigning a stereo source to any channel automatically renders the channel stereo, and its stereo imager stage provides control over width from 150% stereo down to mono. The console does not need a reboot to apply any mode changes. Their channel, bus, and subgroup configuration can be changed at any time on the fly.
Legacy Built in Every Channel
Alternatively, to the excellent WING EQs and dynamics, all channels and buses feature plug-ins for gates, compressors, and equalizers, including high-end simulations modeled after the most famous hardware such as Pultec EQ, SSL Bus Compressor and Gate/Expander, SPL Transient Designer, Neve EQ, Compressor and Gate, Focusrite ISA and D3, DBX160, LA-2A, 1176, Elysia mPressor, and Empirical Labs Distressor.
Evident
WING's innovative channel editing section is designed from the ground-up for immediate channel status overview and flow of operation. It allows working on the selected channel processing, even when the main display is used for something completely unrelated. Touch-sensitive rotary controls allow the most relevant information to be displayed at your fingertips.
Custom Controls
A central section offers user-assignable controls, i.e. 4 rotary encoders and 20 buttons with 2 LCDs. You decide whatever functions you'd like to have within your reach, always. A big rotary wheel offers fine-adjustments of up to 8 user parameters or can be used for DAW remote control via USB MIDI. The control configuration also includes predefined functionality for USB and SD card recorder transport, show control, and mute groups.
Ultimate Tone Shaping
WING Input channels feature lo-cut and hi-cut filters, tilt-EQ, all-pass, or Sound Maxer, in addition to the 6-band parametric EQ. All buses, matrices, and mains even feature an 8-band parametric EQ. Alternatively, WING offers 8 meticulous emulations of famous hardware equalizers for use on each and every channel, whenever you need that special vibe on your signals.
Premium Effects
Premium Effects
- The WING Premium FX rack boasts 8 true-stereo processors, including spectacular emulations of some of the industry's most revered reverbs, original TC VSS3 algorithms, along with Lexicon, Quantec, and EMT emulations. Fantastic delays, voice doubling, chromatic pitch correction, tape saturation, and there is way more to it.
Effects Unleashed
- Another set of 8 true-stereo processors provides a wide array of modulation, equalization, dynamics, non-linear effects, and even four iconic guitar amplifiers with cabinet simulations. If push comes to shove, a guitarist can just DI his guitar or pedals straight into the stage box, which is especially useful on quiet stages and house of worship applications.
Expanded Connections
- With 374 inputs and 374 outputs, a lot of digital connectivity is required. WING provides 3 AES50 SuperMAC audio networking ports for connecting digital stageboxes or sharing up to 144 input and 144 output streams with other mixing consoles. There are 48x48 channels of USB audio and another 64x64 channels of Audio over IP (AoIP module optional), plus AES/EBU stereo I/O. The WING expansion card slot, featuring the LIVE SD recording card or accommodating option cards for various standards, such as ADAT, MADI, DANTE, and WSG, offers another 64x64 channels of audio in/out.
- The brand new Klark Teknik StageConnect interface allows transmission of 32 channels, 24-bit audio with sub-millisecond latency, together with control data and 18W of power over a single standard XLR cable. Given its flexibility and ease of use, this may well become the future of XLR. For optimum performance and long cable runs, 110-ohm DMX-Cable is required.
- Behringer is proud to incorporate 8 original Midas PRO-Series microphone preamps and 8 XLR outputs with towering audio quality for both live and studio environments. 8x8 TRS line auxiliary ins and outs help bring in signals from media players or computers. If that's not enough local analog I/O, the new StageConnect interface allows connection of breakout boxes with up to 32 channels of input and output, e.g. connecting the console to the side rack via a single XLR or DMX cable.
Auto Pilot
Automixing with 2 groups of gain sharing is available on any 16 input channels. The dependable and fast algorithm automatically tracks which microphone is receiving the highest levels, increases its channel gain, while reducing the sum of gain for all other channels in the same group. The ambient noise level will remain constantly low, while intelligibility and gain before feedback are increased considerably. It is the ideal tool for corporate events, panel discussions, house of worship, or broadcast applications with several speakers.
Additional Features
Trigger
- MIDI In/Out plus additional 2x2 GPIO provide an interface for console event triggers and external show control.
