Experience 48 Amazing FlexChannels
Stereo or Mono - You DecideSet all channel and buses to mono, stereo or even M/S while maintaining the full channel count (FX slots included) at no performance cost at all.
Superior Sound, Seamless Setup
Give musicians an immersive experience of full stereo in-ear monitoring with WING's 16 stereo buses. You can also add stereo insert effects to any channel with just a single click!
Limitless Potential
WING's flexible channel configuration adapts to your needs, offering up to 48 channels in any Mono, Stereo or M/S format.
Take Full Control
WING RACK features a control front panel on a unique swivel, allowing for fully convenient operation. Its dedicated Custom Control section, with 16 customizable layers and 3 pre-configured channel layers, is clearly labeled on a separate LCD. The large touch screen with rotary controls for intuitive parameter adjustments offers the same innovative user interface that the full-size WING console is famous for.
24 Midas PRO Preamps On Board
Just like the venerable Midas M and PRO series mixers, WING RACK also comes with 24 Midas PRO preamps, delivering the same sweet sound and huge dynamic range.
All the Digital I/O
It's tiny but uncompromising. The WING RACK has exactly the same number of digital I/O as the full-size WING: AES50, USB, AoIP, StageConnect-you name it.
Your "Source" of Audio
WING stores the configuration (stereo/mono/mid-sides), gain, phantom power, along with a name, an icon, color and tags directly to every input. This combination is called a Source. You can easily edit Sources using your iPad while making the connections on stage.
Channels are automatically configured from the connected Source information and are ready to go. This enables quick setups and on-the-fly adjustments, prevents errors, and makes it easier than ever to manage WING's 370+ inputs. It's like having your own custom toolbox, where everything you need is perfectly organized and ready to use.
Literally Hundreds of Ins and Outs
382 inputs and 368 outputs on WING COMPACT give you the freedom to adapt to any scenario:
- Switch between artists on the fly
- Manage multiple play out destinations with streaming or video
- Navigate complex live events with distributed or networked i/o
- Use the built-in 64-track recorder for virtual sound checks or live playback
- Connect to the 48-track USB audio interface for perfect integration with your DAW
Experience Total Recall
Save and recall precise FX parameters, specific channel settings, console settings, or entire shows. Whether you're working on a complex live performance or a musical theater project, WING offers an extremely comprehensive toolkit for recalling and triggering all elements of your show instantaneously, with the granularity you need.
Enjoy World-Class Effects
WING is equipped with over 80 unique effects and emulations inspired by renowned hardware like the Pultec EQ, SSL Bus Compressor, Gate/Expander, SPL Transient Designer, Neve EQ, Compressor, Gate, Focusrite ISA and D3, DBX160, LA-2A, 1176, Elysia mPressor, and Empirical Labs Distressor. No external gear is required.
WING boasts double the effect engines and insert points compared to the X32 and utilizes 40-bit internal processing algorithms, providing greater accuracy and an expanded dynamic range.
Record Up to 64 Channels
The WING LIVE card comes pre-installed and allows you to record up to 64 channels simultaneously to 2 linked SD cards, or take a pre-recorded session and do a virtual soundcheck in the venue. You can also use one 32-track SD recorder for playback and the second one for recording the performance.
Swap Out External Cards with Ease
You can easily change the WING LIVE card for a WING DANTE card, enabling full 64x64 channel Dante networking connectivity. Behringer is also planning other expansion cards for MADI and Waves Soundgrid, for example.
Plus Another 64x64 Channels via Internal AoIP Modules
The internal AoIP (Audio over IP) modules can fit directly into the mainboard of your WING console and enable the two internal network ports for Ethernet-based audio transmission. Our retailers can also help you upgrade your existing WING or order a new WING console with your preferred card pre-installed. We currently have AoIP-Dante and AoIP-WSG (Waves Soundgrid) modules available.
StageConnect - Connect More with Less
Transfer 32 channels of 44.1kHz/48kHz and 24-bit audio to and from I/O interfaces, hubs, personal monitoring mixers, and more using just one XLR/DMX cable.

Q & A

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
