Behringer Wing

Behringer's affordable high-end digital desk

Description

The Wing flips the X32 script: a 40-bit engine, every channel in stereo, five plug-in slots per input and a workflow built around a large touchscreen and context-aware faders. Behringer adds Midas preamps and the AES50 ecosystem while opening up to Dante, Waves SoundGrid and StageConnect. The result is a touring or studio desk whose feature-to-price ratio is still hard to beat.
