Introducing the ALL NEW Behringer WING Compact

[@nungu60a]

Wing now the clear market leader from the X32 hit makers. Good job! happy to see Drew as a great behringer partner. A blessing indeed

[@DrewBrashler]

Much appreciated!!

[@bristar3004]

Bro, that integrated WSG module is a GAMECHANGER! 🔥🔥🔥

[@DrewBrashler]

Right!! I’m so excited to make some Waves integration videos with the WING soon. Some of the plugins I can see right away would be L2 and SSL Buss Compressor for the Main LR, Feedback Hunter or X-FDBK for floor monitor sends. Vocal tuning and compression stuff, all of it!! Let me know if there are any plugin chains you want me to cover!!

my question is can waves be inserted on any channel you want as an insert?

Hope you enjoy it! I’m so excited about this console. Great price for all of the I/O and capabilities of the mixer!

[@not0evn]

@@DrewBrashler btw I enjoyed seeing you at ChurchFront! I'm curious your thoughts on how this console with the waves card compares with the brand new LV1 Classic we got to see. The LV1 looks awesome, but this seems like an incredible value

[@DrewBrashler]

Thanks so much!!!

[@tonywilliams4336]

In watching this video I start to realize that the architecture functionality is similar to the X air somewhat in term of the basic access for input and bus and effects on the right side of the board. Sometimes you just have to let logic take over and you will see where similar process apply to systems with a few miner steps here and there.

[@dove690]

Finally Wing compact 👍

[@coolceeofficialmusic7608]

Drew please can you do some Wing mixing series videos for musicians mixing pop Rnb and rock?

[@DrewBrashler]

Yeah! What type of content would you want me to focus on with a mixing series? Specific settings for different channels or more of how I set up the console for a show?

[@agork]

And recording in different sample rates and maybe how to setup for remote control for Cubase

[@petercastle4381]

Mixing billboard type music.

[@myemuk]

Finally there is a WSG card for Wing 🥳

[@DrewBrashler]

I’m so pumped for the WSG card for it! Let me know if you want me to cover any specific plugins!!

[@schattenheim]

👍😁 you got the job 🎉

[@austinfarley4971]

I was hoping you'd get one!

[@oscarrojas5050]

Hey Drew, great Video!! Whats the status on waves module for us existing wing owners?

[@iamharleydavis]

So is the Waves card already installed? Or is it an add-on?

[@christianschneidawind5620]

Amazing! How can we order the WSG version at the dealer?

[@Waynyce]

I was just wondering if they were gonna make a smaller version yesterday 🤯

[@FVDaudio]

Nice with 24 Mic Ins almost nice Outputs count. But they are attractive Out expansion options. Monitors (up to inmersive) + fills and so on is a today rider need.

[@chuck2678]

Will you be doing a Waves Module video?

[@lazerbsound]

Nice to notice that you have a DL32 connected on AES50A and a full size old wing on AES50C

[@DrewBrashler]

Yes indeed! I’ll be making a multi console video soon!

[@SparkleDiamond-tu6od]

Thank you soo much Drew , but is it possible to do a deeper dive into this mixer at later time.( IEMs, broadcast connections & Subs & Matrix routing options & Effects)

[@DrewBrashler]

Yes! I’ll be planning on making a full IEM setup video for the WING Rack in the next few months. What specifically would you want to see in a video like that? WING Rack walkthrough video posts tomorrow on my channel, so check it out!

[@SparkleDiamond-tu6od]

​@@DrewBrashler Thanks for your reply. Im more interested in the Wing Compact as that what I intend to by soon. So the same points I asked in previous msg .

[@PerfectedDetails]

Could you make a video on how to connect a p16 to the new wing rack/compact?

[@420barrymcockiner]

Drew can you make a video on how to set playback from protools into the behringer wing? You have one for the x32. Would be nice for a wing.

[@WilliamBunch-qd2qf]

Have not seen the WSG internal or expansion board anywhere. Still don't see it. Timeline?

[@faluquilombo]

Can I connect the behringer xair18 to it and hqve those additional 18 inputs on the Wing Rack?

[@DrewBrashler]

No sadly the XAir series does not connect with any other mixers outside of the XLR outputs.

[@faluquilombo]

@@DrewBrashler what about the ultranet? The usb?

[@DrewBrashler]

Ultranet is only an output for systems like the P16, you can’t take inputs off of ultranet into the WING or any other console.

[@isaacleal12]

any word on when the WSG module will be available?

[@KGTv123]

Any idea when these are going to start shipping?

[@Banksyyt]

Hey Drew. Thank you for doing this video. May I ask a couple of questions please? I'm thinking about using this console to run my studio with Logic. I often send audio out for processing and return and I'd like to know the time this round trip takes please? Also, when sending a live signal arriving at the mixer to an aux output, does it go through a A/D D/A conversion, or is it direct out? Thanks in advance, Alexander

[@djaubreyclark47]

Can you please do a video on how to set up waves sound grid with the waves card. I want to buy a wing and use waves sound grid but I don’t know how to

[@stankobby6422]

Hi Drew am Stan from Ghana. You didn't talk about the mute groups on the wing.

[@djaubreyclark47]

Where do I buy this waves card? Can’t find it

[@ayay5340]

That's a really nice shirt you have on 😉. Any link to where I can get it.

[@stevenhoo8541]

Hi Drew, can I ask how many auto mix channels are there? If so, are they restricted to chronological order or ? Thanks.

[@michlmania]

Hi Drew, thanks for the video! Is it possible to change the Main 1 fader in the USER page on the right to any other bus? I'd love to put my vocal FX bus fader there for quick adjustments.

[@enochmarfo6158]

please is the WSG module on the old wing consoles or only on the new ones??

[@joerama]

@1m30s Why didn’t Beringer make the outputs combo outputs (like the inputs)? The huge wing is probably going to have different use cases than the compact wing, so the lack of TRS could be a bigger deal for the compact version. Seems like a missed opportunity to cover bases, especially when the form factor has changed significantly.

[@jjax633]

Not understanding how that's a big deal when there are dozens of conversion cables available?

[@joerama]

@@jjax633 It’s not the end of the world, but it’s a lose (small L). But since they used combo for all the inputs, why didn’t they finish the job combos on the inputs. Frustrating and weird. Also the logic to use them seems off.

[@DrewBrashler]

There actually isn’t a design of a combo output of XLR and TRS on the same plug. So an adapter cable would be your best bet.

[@joerama]

@@DrewBrashler Yikes, I would never have guessed. TY for the insight.

[@NoahWebster-McTaw]

Is this only the compact version is it on the other new Behringer wing

[@UtibeOkuk]

Can i connect the Wing Rack to the Wing Complete version and get the full inputs for broadcast

[@theragepack2929]

Hi, does it still have mutegroups?

[@DrewBrashler]

Yup!! It does!

[@ryanbrooks8544]

Do you know if the “Midas pro” preamps are DL251 or DL32?

[@georgesnow]

I bet they're not as good as the HD96

[@ryanbrooks8544]

Right, but if they’re on par with the DL32 that’s amazing. I pre ordered a wing rack today. I’ve already got multiple DL32s in inventory, so this will interface well with those. The DL251 still has the very best preamps I’ve ever heard when I mixed on a Pro2 years ago. As far as the Wing goes, frankly, I don’t know who can beat them at these price points and feature sets. It’s pretty insane. It rivals desks that cost 5-10x what this costs and is only limited really by the sample rate. And a PSE 5045 plugin to boot. Omg lol. Can’t wait to dive into it.

[@андрейкещиян-х1ы]

Наконец-то 🔥🤘👍

[@donmiller-robinson1378]

Can the tempo of delay effects on the wing be controlled over external MIDI?

[@jackturek42]

will it work with studio one 5 - in and out and show up as an interface in that program

[@KD_PRODUCTIONS_G]

So surprised by Behringer hopefully I’ll get my hands on this console

[@LeeMatches]

Any idea how many Rack Units it occupies? Would really love to mount this in the top of a rolling mixer flightcase.

[@bryanboeholt50]

Does this wing console connect or interface to the original S32 digital snake that mated with the X32 and allowed you to connect everything remote and Ethernet it back to the console? Or do you need to buy a whole new setup for this functionality as well for remote input😢

[@DrewBrashler]

Yup! You can use the S32 or the X32 via AES50 to use them as inputs and outputs for the WING! Any AES50 stage boxes that worked with the X32, you can use with the WING.

[@jazbasoundandmedia786]

And also other question do you need always stageboxes for ultranet ? There is no internface on the board

[@DrewBrashler]

Correct there is not an ultra net output on the console

[@victornna6137]

Excellent video as always. When placing an order, do I need to emphasize that I need the Waves module installed or its shipped preinstalled? I don't seem to find info anywhere else. Whats the approximate extra cost?

[@AshtonCurtis-jm6sl]

I'd also like to know this. I've reached out to resellers and they don't seem to know.

[@DrewBrashler]

I don’t have details on it yet. But I have heard that you can order it from the factory pre installed. As I get more info, I’ll update in a video!

[@victornna6137]

​Excellent!!! Thank you very much, Drew

[@KyeBlomeley]

@DrewBrashler awesome thanks mate, Just a bit ambiguous it seems for the moment

[@naakaalastudio6655]

What is the build quality of the Wing compared to the M32? I know they use the same pres. What about the faders are they same on the Wing as the M32?

[@jeremiahjackson3248]

Different preamps

[@DrewBrashler]

Yup! Build quality on mine is great, I’m really impressed by this console. The 24 preamps on the new series of WING’s are true MIDAS Pro Series preamps, so audio quality is great! Faders feel awesome too!

What external clocking options are possible for Wing, and what internal settings (sampling rate) can be selected from the Wing itself?

[@wordfellowshipchurch5164]

So the waves card is 64 out? The old waves card for the x32 was 32 right?

[@DrewBrashler]

Yup!

[@wordfellowshipchurch5164]

That’s huge for us. I am wondering who the new LV1 is for versus this option if upgrading consoles.

[@dzb9]

Hi Drew, the Wing Compact doesn't have inserts. Is it possible to bypass te preamps to connect outboard gear to the combo jacks?

[@DrewBrashler]

The WING does have inserts, just you would need to utilize any of the ports on the WING that you have. For instance the XLR outputs and the combo jacks, or the USB, etc.

[@juukoisaac9421]

I heard the inputs are stereo!!! Is that so?

[@thesteamybgshefightsforus8206]

@Drew: I know the audio interface specs are 24/48k, but the WING will still playback and mix stems (tracks) pre-recorded at 96k from the SD card without downsampling at all, correct?. I'm asking because the A/D Resolution on Sweetwater appears to be 24/192k. This must mean the 48k sample rate only comes into play when you use the USB port for conversion.

[@DrewBrashler]

I have never tried that and my understanding is that the SD card reader will only play sessions at 24 bit and the sample rate of the console. Hope this helps!

Can you use Dante and AES/EBU simultaneously?

[@DrewBrashler]

Yes, just pick up a WING-Dante card or the AoiP Dante module. The AES/EBU is two channels over one XLR and there is an input and an output jack on the wing, so keep that in mind.

LETS GOOOOO. finally

[@hzs-net]

Is it possible to use the display outside with direct sun on it? x32 is not usable, can’t see anything…

[@DrewBrashler]

There is not an external screen port on the console. The tilt of the WING screen is a real help to be honest. But you could always use WING-Edit on a computer to the side as an extra interface to the console.

[@IOldsmbl]

Can Scenes, Ques, etc. be downloaded from Wing, and transferred to X32? Most places still have x32, would like to transfer this function to other pre-existing units. An option?

[@DrewBrashler]

There is not an official Behringer tool that does this. I always start from scratch when making a show file for a new console.

[@notsure1135]

Does it have a hi z input?

No it does not. But that can be very simply solved using a DI Box.

[@xcirey]

Hi Drew, just a quick question, if I add DN 4816-o to setup how much stereo IEM`s is possible to get with existing LR+sub and 4 fx? Thanks.

[@DrewBrashler]

Well you have your 16 mixbusses that are all stereo on top of the 8 stereo matrix, and the 4 stereo busses. So you really can do a lot with those. But if you wanted to stick to only using the mixbusses for FX and IEM, then you would have 12 stereo IEM’s.

[@xcirey]

@@DrewBrashler Thanks Drew!

[@JohnSmith-rb2sl]

no 96kHz using Dante or Sound Grid card expansion, means these have higher latency in comparison to Yamaha DM3-D which operates utilizing Dante at 96kHz, correct?

[@DrewBrashler]

Correct, only 48k or 44.1k sample rate. Honesty, latency using WSG is not a problem even at 48kHz. Depending on your Dante devices same situation. But there is no SRC on the WING-Dante card, so you would not be able to integrate with a 96kHz Dante network. Only 48kHz.

[@michael7018]

What’s the price of this thing?

[@darvintoc]

Is the 3.0 firmware meant for all the wings. Cuz the download is only Avail on the website when I select wing black. Yet I did download it and updated the original wing with the 3.0 I noticed the sends on all 16 buses. But I lost a feature. Before updating when using the copilot app, I could pan instruments in the monitors without affecting the FOH but now it’s gone I can no longer pan only the monitors

Depends on if the preamp sound really matters in your situation. I would say that if your speaker system is 10+ years old, or is not a super high quality system, go with the S32. If you have a really good PA, or the tonality of the preamp really matters for you, go with the DL32!
