The Behringer WING RACK is a rack-mount digital mixer offering the core mixing features of the WING series in a compact chassis. Designed for live sound, studio and installed applications, this unit provides flexible channel routing, scene management and onboard processing in a form factor intended for front-of-house racks, monitor racks or broadcast racks. The WING RACK aims to deliver digital mixing workflows where space is limited but full routing and mixing capabilities are required.
Advantages
The WING RACK consolidates input and bus routing, recallable scenes and channel processing into a single rack-mount enclosure. It supports comprehensive signal processing per channel and group, allowing precise EQ, dynamics and routing without external outboard gear. Its rack format simplifies integration into existing rack systems and makes it suitable for mobile rigs, fixed installs and broadcast environments that require remote or centralized control.
Suitable for
- Front-of-house mixing in small to medium venues where rack space is preferred
- Monitor mixing when used with in-ear or wedge workflows in a rack-based system
- Broadcast and streaming setups requiring compact, recallable mixing
- Fixed installations in houses of worship, conference rooms and clubs with limited console space
When it may not be suitable
This rack-mounted mixer is designed to provide the functionality of a larger console in a compact chassis; it may not be ideal for users who require a full-size control surface with large tactile faders and an integrated touchscreen interface. If hands-on, dedicated surface controls and a physically large fader bank are essential to your workflow, a full-console model could be preferable.
Key specifications
- Form factor: 19" rack-mount enclosure
- Digital mixing engine with channel and bus processing
- Recallable scene management and preset storage
- Flexible channel routing and group assignments
- Onboard EQ and dynamics per channel/group
- Integration options for FOH, monitor and broadcast workflows
How to use
Install the WING RACK into a standard 19" equipment rack and connect inputs and outputs according to your stage or installation wiring. Use the mixer’s routing and scene management functions to map input channels to buses and outputs, and create or recall scenes for different events or sets. Configure per-channel processing such as EQ, compression and gating as required. Remote control and automation may be used from compatible control surfaces or networked control software depending on your system setup.
What to consider before purchase
- Confirm rack space and ventilation requirements in your rack enclosure
- Verify required I/O and whether additional stage boxes or interfaces are needed
- Ensure compatibility with your monitoring and FOH workflow and any remote control devices
- Plan for power and network connectivity if remote control or audio-over-IP is used
Usage recommendations
For reliable performance, allow adequate airflow in the rack, use balanced connections for critical audio paths, and maintain scene backups. When integrating into broadcast or fixed installations, document routing and scene names to simplify operation and troubleshooting.
