As a user of the original Wing console and all great features and expansions included with this mixer - I was dreaming of a similar system with all the bells and whistles - but which could save my back a bit! (The original Wing with case weight almost 40 kg)
I am mainly doing smaller gigs so a rack mixer with an iPad is suitable for most my engagements.
Now it is here! The Wing Rack, all my old presets (for EQ, Gate and compressor) and settings (effects) could easily be shared between the original and new console!
The Wing Rack also includes 24 inputs - just perfect for most gigs. The Midas pre-amps sounds great! If doing bigger events, the same infrastructure with stage boxes like S16 and S32 can be used also with the “Rack” as the original Wing and x32 used!!!
Then I must add that the new touch screen found on Wing Rack is just fantastic to work with! You could easily sneak by at stage and make changes directly on it and continue with the work at FoH on the iPad. Marvelous screen!
The only feature missing which could have wiped the market completely is to be able to split the 4 stereo headphones outputs from the 8 XLR outputs - they are today tied to each other - you need to choose which one you want use. But for the price tag that Behringer have set…I would still have paid the double price for a Wing Rack!
A great console and it will wipe the market!
