Behringer Wing 48-Channel Digital Mixer - A Closer Look

Join us at Gold-Diggers Sound in East Hollywood, CA as we take a closer look at the new Behringer Wing Digital Mixer.

Behringer Wing is a 48-channel digital mixer designed for great sound, unrivaled routing flexibility, expandability, and, most importantly, ease of use.
Right from the start, Behringer designed Wing for intuitive operation. Wing features a large 10” touch screen which is flanked by touch sensitive rotary controls. Whether you’re tweaking an EQ, selecting a compressor, or routing your sources, Wing is quick and easy to use. Wing’s three customizable banks of faders, as well as a Custom Controls section, let you personalize the mixer to your exact needs.
Taking a unique approach, Wing places the focus on the Source, rather than the Input number. Thinking of it this way, your Snare is no longer “Input 4”. It’s simply “Snare”. From there your “Snare” can be routed, grouped, and processed in any number of ways. While this may seem small, it fundamentally changes your thought process and focus, resulting in a more natural approach to routing and mixing. Even better, you can use the cross-platform Wing Co-Pilot app to setup your Sources right from the stage.
Speaking of mixing, Wing is loaded with fantastic effects, compressors, limiters and EQ options. Modeled after some of the most revered hardware in recording history, bring racks full of classic studio gear to your live sound.
Able to handle up to 374 inputs and 374 outputs, Wing can be expanded in a variety of ways. With 3 AES50 SuperMAC networking ports, you can connect digital stage boxes, expanding as you need. You can also run up to 48 channels of input and 48 channels of output back and forth from a computer via USB audio. LIVE SD recording and other optional connections across a variety of digital audio standards provide even further expandability.

Great Job Once again guys 🚀🚀🚀

Being a live sound engineer, this desk really stood out to me. It gives me almost studio abilities with my live sound. I bought the desk. After multiple A/B tests I sent it back. It is a n amazingly clean desk with zero preamp noise. The reverb and delays all sound amazing. The compressor and eq mods are OK. The channel strip and layout is amazing. My only real issue of the desk was the preamp sound. I have used Midas and the preamp are definatley better in the Midas. My Roland M480 preamps are far better. I don't know if it's the software that makes it sound different. But for me it doesn't capture those fine details that addds depth and feeling to the mix. It's super clean... I'll be sticking to my Roland for now until I can get a Digico.

[@idjpashka]

Doesn't Wing have Midas Pro preamps?

[@barniax]

Could it be difference between 48/96khz?

[@Gruntos]

It’s a non starter for me, all of my gear is AVB

[@kronk358]

You should have just used it with a midas stagebox then.

[@soundidesign9653]

@@kronk358 it supposodly has the exact same preamps as the midas stagebox, hence the confussion

[@Oratazana]

Good job behringer,looks promissing.

[@CallesenOnFire]

Thx for the video. I love the option allowing to put comp, reverbs etc. directly on the channels. I would looove to see a nerdy video on the work put in, to make the mixer sound better than the X32: Better preamps? Faster processing? Better wirering? At the end of the day, sound rules.

[@doceamz7972]

will sound and perform the same as an x32

[@derkhedemann5606]

what I miss is the recording options in this demonstration. how does it work in your Daw & can you also control Daw software with the Behringer Wing?

[@darsmatias]

i think you need to assign the output of each channel from your DAW to the Wing. for example in Reaper there is a hardware output in the routing where you can assign it.

[@maurolimaok]

Very nice video. What speaker are those on back!

[@samwelpaul8225]

Hello is there any training or customer services for the wing cuz I have just bought it for my studio but it’s been a lot of trouble configuring

[@nathanshoemaker4615]

Didn't they just update the x32 and M32 where they could have point to point routing. So no more 8 channel?

[@ExisteDiosInc]

Correct

[@charlottewilliamcover3568]

I really can't understand such mistake from a Behringer tech..... Unbelievable....

[@Heywoodj1969]

Agreed, but they are trying to sell their “new toy”... personally I have x32,m32 - no need for a new remote control surface that isn’t even fully operating ( no app, no gain control on pro series boxes, no usb recording...etc...). Also I am very lost of the “stereo” channel feature - especially seeing led metering on a channel that may or may not be stereo... even using stereo channels on one fader sucks, especially when it comes to patch. I like 1 to 1 channel to fader numbering, because in the fray of festival patch - I don’t wanna have to think is keyboard ch 13/14 on fader 13 only, and fader 14 is really ch 15 patch... stupid.

[@kosmikmusa]

I am looking this to be used in theather. How many snapshots I can save and recall? Can I recall snapshots using midi note commands from example Qlab? Or can I fire sound cues from Wing using midi notes? Can I assing soft buttons to recall save snapshots? Does the recall work in away so when I used it to recall next snapshot so I could run the show linearly and not staring the menus and select manually next snapshot? Can I use sanpshots recall for just channel mutes and not efecting any other parameters faders etc? Many thanks in advance

[@andregodfrey559]

How can I use multiple instruments and may be outboard gear at the same time ?????

[@jerbinromero5562]

Has anyone had one of their scribble strips on the wing go out? Like the led is still on but it's blank and wont display anything

[@ennis437]

None of the videos mention remote mixing capabalities for IEM on the 16 busses, I love the fact that any bus can now be stereo but the last thing I want to go back to (as a FOH engineer or a drummer) is having musicians yell what they want in there ears. Please tell me there will be a remote app to handle this!

[@365expressions5]

i'd put a lot of money that the guy who created the mixing station app is developing (or already has) an app that could be used for remote control. and i'm sure they wouldn't abandon such useful features by not having remote phone apps..

[@AnuEletu]

can someone expand a little on the stereo sourcing ?

[@johnlopez2475]

where can i find the copilot app, and is it going to be available for apple devices?

[@mjsstujo1]

This!

[@TimmyP1955]

It has not yet been released.

[@djazz0]

Where did you get the Wing Copilot app?

[@domiageless]

From the Captain 😢😂

[@jamesparish7234]

I was told you can hook 2 wings boards up on the same snake and have 1 for FOH and 2nd board for Broadcast...totally diff mix for and setup for each?..TRUE...and how would setup look..

[@johnnyrg3000]

James Parish Yes that is true.... as long as your stage box has an AES A and AES B ethernet output.... you can send each ethernet cable to each mixer and have independent control

[@stephenevans2518]

You can also route all stageboxes into the aes50 a on the desk,then take the b port to connect to another desk and send all the channels to the other desk that way

[@HenryCoule]

Is there a wat to split input sources to let's say X32 for a separate mix of the same source? What I mean is, if Wing is my mainboard and I Have X32 which I want to use to mix to let's say my KZbin Streaming, is there a way I can get my inputs on Wing duplicated to X32 where whatever is done on Wing doesn't affect my dupes on X32 so I can do a separate mix on X32 going to my online streaming? Can I even achieve this with X32 if I don't have Wing?

[@stephenevans2518]

That is correct, you can do it with x32 or wing. Just go to routing and then aes50b (or c on the wing) and you can choose your inputs to go out of the spare aes50 port and then bring them into the second mixer. If you have spare channels on your x32 you could bring the same input to two channels and process them separately

[@richbalam6092]

What are the monitors in the back please?

[@gregcooper1305]

Thank you Tom Cruise for asking great questions!

[@MadelnMachines]

It's a shame it lacks physical analog inputs compared to the X32

[@stephenevans2518]

Tbh I think it's a good move, a lot of people were using remote stageboxes anyway, and it may well have come in at a lower price point as a result of having fewer preamps onboard which a lot of users would never use anyway. Just consider a s32 as part of the cost of the desk, it still comes in at an attractive price point, and gives you choice how many preamps you want and how much you want to spend!

[@user-rn2jo3kz4k]

really hoping they come out with a rack version of this Wing product, just can't bring myself to spend a bunch of money on the x32 rack that's now 8-9 years old..

[@luisgregoriojr762]

It works great until the touchscreen starts giving you problems and start “ghosting” itself. Basically the touchscreen gets defective and starts moving faders and pressing buttons in the touchscreen by itself. Be aware!! Trying to sell this mixer as soon as possible.

[@365expressions5]

odd question but does anyone know whether the wing can allow a separate mute for the auxes that ignores the main mute?

[@magoostus]

yes, you can do this. every channel can have individual bus-send settings that can be set for example a pre-fader send that ignores the main mute

[@joeybaronstudio]

As I said before it looks like you can flush mount it in a desk

[@NURREDIN]

WHERE is the master fader?

[@VickersDoorter]

Good point!

[@Will-xk4nm]

Master L and R will default to one of the 4 right-hand faders in the Master section. You can assign your Master to literally any fader you want.

[@NURREDIN]

@@Will-xk4nm I don't mean to be a pain in the rear end,but I use an IZ Radar recorder,not Pro-Tools. If I've used all 24 tracks (which i normally do),what do I do then if there are only 24 faders? Do I assign two tracks to each fader so I have a few spare faders?

[@jakethegiant8267]

Stay with you console midas m32 is even better then this I own a allen & heath GLD 112 i was about to switch to this but no i can wait for a dlive or digico s21

[@CybreSmee]

I had a play with this the other day, its a nightmare. Very complicated. If you had time and patience to really learn it (and not from the manual, its shocking), it might be ok. But no chance a new engineer could sit in on a session and immediately get whats going on. I'd go for the PreSonus Studiolive, they're a lot cheaper and much easier to work on.
