Behringer Wing Rack Digital Mixer

Behringer Wing Rack — 48-Channel Rackmount Digital Mixing Engine

The Behringer Wing Rack condenses the flagship WING console's full-stereo processing into a 4U rackmount chassis weighing 9.4 kg. Forty stereo input processing channels plus eight stereo aux returns give engineers 48 FlexChannels that switch between mono, stereo, and mid-side on the fly without rebooting. AES50, AES/EBU, StageConnect, and a class-compliant USB audio interface cover every modern live, broadcast, and studio scenario. The 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen drives the entire workflow from a 19-inch rack drawer.

What Sets the Wing Rack Apart

The Sources paradigm tags each input with metadata — name, icon, color, gain, phantom state — that follows the signal to any channel with one tap. Forty-bit floating-point processing at 48 kHz with 1 ms round-trip latency keeps dynamics transparent, while 16 true-stereo effects engines run emulations of Pultec, SSL, Neve, dbx, LA-2A, 1176, and Empirical Labs Distressor without consuming insert slots. The internal AoIP slot accepts optional 64×64 Dante or Waves SoundGrid cards for networked audio.

Insane I/O for Any Scenario

Connectivity is the headline, with 374 physical inputs and outputs routed through analog XLR/TRS, AES50, AES/EBU, StageConnect, MIDI, GPIO, and USB. Three AES50 ports deliver 144 signals on SuperMAC CAT5 with 6-sample latency.

• Inputs: AES/EBU (XLR), AES50 — digital stagebox feeds alongside 24 analog Midas PRO preamps
• Outputs: AES/EBU XLR, StageConnect — stereo digital sends plus 32-channel XLR runs to IEM mixers and stage boxes
• Phantom Power: +48 V on all 24 preamps — full condenser and active-DI compatibility across the entire input count without external supply

Studio-Grade Processing Built In

Each of the 48 FlexChannels ships with three plug-in slots for gate, dynamics, and EQ, plus five variable insert slots on the 40 stereo input channels. Sixteen true-stereo effects engines deliver 80+ algorithms modeled on legendary outboard gear.

• Internal Effects: 16 true-stereo processors with 80+ algorithms — modeled EQ, dynamics, reverb, delay, modulation, and amp sims in one chassis
• Channel EQ: 6-band parametric plus high/low cut per channel — surgical shaping without consuming FX slots
• Bus architecture runs 4 main, 8 matrix, and 16 aux stereo buses, each with dual inserts and 8-band parametric EQ for full dynamics and imaging on every mix destination

Built-In Multitrack Recording in a 4U Chassis

The pre-installed WING-LIVE card captures up to 64 channels of 32-bit/48 kHz audio to dual SD cards for virtual soundcheck. A 48-in/48-out USB audio interface feeds any DAW directly, while the rear expansion slot accepts optional Dante, MADI, or Waves SoundGrid cards.

• Rackmount Format: 19-inch, 4U chassis (486 × 183 × 326 mm) — slides into fly racks and shallow install cases
• Multitrack Recorder: 64 channels to dual SD cards via WING-LIVE — virtual soundcheck and live capture without extra hardware
• USB audio interface streams 48 inputs and 48 outputs class-compliant to any DAW, so no driver install is required before tracking sessions

Who Should Choose the Behringer Wing Rack

The Behringer Wing Rack is the right choice for touring engineers, worship techs, and broadcast operators who need 48 channels of processing in a road-ready 4U chassis. Bands upgrading from an X32 rack gain more channels, more effect slots, stereo buses, and a touchscreen workflow without leaving the Behringer/Midas ecosystem. Studio owners get a 48-in/48-out USB interface, 24 Midas PRO preamps, and 16 stereo effects engines in one chassis.

Behringer — Affordable Innovation Since 1989

Behringer was founded in Germany by Uli Behringer and built its reputation on the Studio Exciter F and the Eurodesk MX8000, putting pro-grade consoles within reach of project studios and mobile PAs. The acquisitions of Midas, Klark Teknik, and TC Electronic folded decades of high-end expertise into the WING platform, which is why this rack ships with Midas PRO preamps and TC Electronic / Lexicon / Quantec / EMT-derived effects.
