A Full-Featured Digital Console in a Compact Footprint
The Behringer WING Compact 48-Channel Digital Mixer is a 48-channel, 28-bus digital mixing console designed for professional audio engineers, built for those who need flagship-level mixing power without the footprint of a full-size console. It's compact but uncompromising, sharing exactly the same number of digital I/O as the full-size WING console, including AES50, USB, AoIP, and StageCONNECT connectivity.
Designed for Live and Studio Flexibility
This mixer is made for engineers who move between stage and studio without wanting two different workflows. WING's flexible channel configuration adapts to your needs, offering up to 48 channels in any Mono, Stereo, or M/S format, while the console surface is optimized for fast and accurate operation, excelling specifically in monitor mixing applications. A dedicated master and bus section with four layers of 16 hotkeys, each clearly labeled on its own color display, keeps navigation fast even during demanding live sessions.
Reference-Grade Preamps and Processing
The WING Compact comes equipped with 24 Midas PRO preamps, delivering the same sweet sound and huge dynamic range found in the venerable Midas M and PRO series mixers. Each of the 40 stereo input channels includes 5 variable plug-in processing slots, while 4 main, 8 matrix, and 16 aux stereo buses feature dual inserts, 8-band parametric EQs, a stereo imager, and full dynamics processing, all within a single effect chain.
An Intuitive, Touch-Driven Interface
A 10.1-inch multi-touch display with an adjustable swivel angle brings the same innovative user interface that the full-size WING console is famous for, augmented by touch-sensitive rotary controls for intuitive parameter adjustment. Its three fader sections and user-assignable buttons can be tailored to individual workflow preferences, making a genuinely powerful digital console approachable even for engineers new to the WING platform.
Extensive Connectivity and Recording
The console offers a 48x48 channel USB audio interface for direct DAW integration, along with dual-SD card recording for seamless live capture. Three AES50 ports provide a total of 144 input and output signals over SuperMAC CAT5 connections with ultra-low jitter, while a rear panel expansion slot supports optional 64-channel audio interface and networking cards, including Dante, Waves SoundGrid, and MADI.
