The WING is a complete redesign, not an update. Major differences include:

• 40‑bit floating‑point internal processing
• Fully customizable channel strip order
• 48 stereo input channels
• Touchscreen‑centric workflow
• User‑defined buses and main outputs
• Advanced USB audio interface and virtual soundcheck capabilities

The WING is ideal for:

• Churches and houses of worship
• Touring audio engineers
• Broadcast and live-stream environments
• Hybrid live/studio workflows
• Users who want high‑end routing flexibility without a large‑format console

The WING uses a 40‑bit floating‑point internal processing engine, providing extremely high internal headroom and precision.

40‑bit floating‑point processing allows:

• Massive internal headroom
• Protection against internal clipping
• Cleaner summing across buses
• Greater accuracy in dynamics and EQ processing

This makes the WING very forgiving during live mixing and complex routing scenarios.

Yes—only at the A/D (input) and D/A (output) conversion stages. Inside the mixer, the floating‑point engine prevents clipping even when signals exceed 0 dBFS internally.

The WING operates at 44.1kHz & 48 kHz, ensuring compatibility with most digital stage boxes, broadcast workflows, and live sound environments.

The WING provides:

• 48 stereo input channels (96 mono sources)
• Dedicated FX returns
• Auxiliary and virtual input channels

A virtual channel receives audio from a non‑physical source, such as:

• USB audio from a computer
• The 4 Track USB Recorder
• SD card playback
• Network or internal routing

Virtual channels enable virtual soundcheck, playback, and recording without re‑patching stage inputs.

Yes. The WING uses source‑based patching, meaning any physical or virtual input can be assigned to any channel, independently of channel numbers.

Yes. The WING allows full reordering of channel processing blocks, including:

• Gate
• Compressor
• EQ
• Inserts
• Saturation

This enables advanced workflows like compression before EQ or inserts placed anywhere in the signal path.

The WING includes multiple EQ models, such as:

• Standard parametric EQ
• Vintage‑style EQ models
• Dynamic EQ options on supported models

Each channel supports high‑resolution EQ with flexible band control.

Yes. Select EQ models include dynamic EQ, allowing frequency‑specific compression or expansion directly on the channel.

Each channel supports multiple insert points, which can be placed pre‑ or post‑processing depending on your channel strip configuration.

The WING supports:

• Up to 16 stereo buses
• Mono or stereo bus configuration
• Use as aux sends, groups, or submixes

Sends on Fader temporarily turns the channel faders into send controls for a selected bus. This allows fast, intuitive monitor and effects mixing.

Yes. Each send can be configured as:

• Pre‑fader
• Post‑fader
• Post‑processing

This flexibility is critical for monitor, broadcast, and effects workflows.

Yes. The WING includes matrix buses, allowing you to combine multiple mixes and route them to different speaker zones or broadcast feeds.

The WING includes multiple internal FX slots supporting:

• Reverbs
• Delays
• Modulation effects
• Dynamics and tone‑shaping processors

Yes. Effects can be used:

• As inserts on channels or buses
• As traditional send/return effects

The WING does not host third‑party plugins internally, but it integrates easily with external plugin hosts via USB or network audio.

Yes. The WING functions as a multi‑channel USB audio interface, enabling direct multitrack recording into a DAW or into the default WLive Card.

The WING supports up to 48 inputs and 48 outputs over USB, depending on configuration.

Yes. By routing USB or SD card playback back into input channels, the WING supports full virtual soundcheck workflows.

Yes. The WING can be controlled using:

• WING CoPilot
• Mixing Station
• Wing Edit

This is especially powerful for the WING Rack and Compact systems.

Yes. Multiple devices can connect simultaneously, each with independent control and permission levels.

• WING – Full‑size console with motorized faders
• WING Compact – Smaller footprint with fewer faders
• WING Rack – Rack‑mounted version with no physical faders

All models share the same audio engine and software capabilities.

Yes. When properly configured, the WING is used worldwide in churches, touring rigs, and broadcast environments.
