Members Dookietwo 38 Posted November 18, 2019 Author Members Share Posted November 18, 2019 $3500 U.S. price (Retail)Â Pretty loaded for what it is. Â Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil O'Keefe 12,609 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 It certainly looks interesting, and seems to have a lot of features. Interesting physical design too. I wonder if they'll be discontinuing the X32 series now, and whether or not other (smaller / rack mountable?) Wing models will be forthcoming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I also heard rumors of more coming out in this line but time will tell. Looks like a loaded desk for $3500 retail. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Members agedhorse 182 Posted June 22 Members Share Posted June 22 How many physical inputs and outputs on the console? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members Dookietwo 38 Posted June 23 Author Members Share Posted June 23 (edited) 2 hours ago, agedhorse said: How many physical inputs and outputs on the console? It's more of a control surface. 8 on board XLR inputs, 8 XLR outputs and 8 Aux in/outs on 1/4 balanced. 40 full featured Stereo inputs, 8 Aux inputs. The newest firmware added quite a bit but I see it as a desk still in the making. Loaded in a way for the price. It can use any X/M32 stage boxes as well as many of the current Midas Pro Series Stage boxes. More here. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/WING--behringer-wing-48-channel-digital-mixer Edited June 23 by Dookietwo spelling Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members agedhorse 182 Posted June 26 Members Share Posted June 26 40 STEREO inputs? Has something changed in pro audio that I am unaware of? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Has something changed in pro audio that I am unaware of? It's all how you look at it. There is 40 stereo channels but they can't be switched to Mono for 80 mono inputs. The reverse is if you have lots of stereo keys boards or other stereo inputs then you don't use up 2 channels for every stereo input needed. Each channel also has an alternative channel input as well. To me I like the 16 stereo Buses available. ( the same as 32 mono if you needed 16 stereo outs for IEM ) The desk is truly loaded in its price range. If its the right desk only the person who is buying it will know. I like a desk with more local inputs so I can bring only a desk for small shows. I have a Midas M32R for this with 32 channels of stage boxes down Cat5e for a little more channels if needed. With the Wing your committed to going out all the time with stage boxes. The Wing is much different than most standard console. As long as it doesn't become an Edsel there should be a use for it.   https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Behringer+Wing+input+processing&&view=detail&mid=4609E6B576174BAD922C4609E6B576174BAD922C&&FORM=VRDGAR&ru=%2Fvideos%2Fsearch%3Fq%3DBehringer%2BWing%2Binput%2Bprocessing%26FORM%3DVDVVXX Quote Link to post Share on other sites
