Finally, All the Preamps You Need

• 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 380+ inputs. It’s like having your own custom toolbox, where everything you need is perfectly organized and ready to use.

Insane I/O Literally Hundreds of Ins and Outs

382 inputs and 368 outputs on WING RACK give you the freedom to adapt to any scenario:

• Switch between artists on the fly

• Connect to the 48-track USB audio interface for perfect integration with your DAW

Configure WING to Suit You

Record Up to 64 ChannelsThe 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 EaseYou can easily change the WING LIVE card for a WING DANTE card, enabling full 64x64 channel Dante networking connectivity. We are also planning other expansion cards for MADI and Waves Soundgrid, for example.

Plus Another 64x64 Channels via Internal AoIP ModulesThe 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.
