One of the essential aspects of the WING is its tap points, which refer to the various points in the signal path where you can access audio signals for processing, routing, or monitoring.
Key Tap Points on the Behringer WING:
- Input Tap Points: Direct access from physical inputs, allowing for processing of individual signals before they are mixed.
- Channel Strip Tap Points: Each channel strip may offer multiple tap points for prefader and postfader processing, allowing engineers to utilize different effects or routing options within the mixing chain.
- Mix Buses: Tap points associated with mix buses can let you route signals to effects or different outputs, enabling complex sound design and routing configurations.
- Matrix Outputs: The WING features matrix outputs that serve as tap points for sending a mix of various inputs, channels, or buses to external devices or monitors.
- Aux Sends: Aux sends provide tap points for creating monitor mixes or sending signals to effects processors, allowing for precise control over the audio being sent out.
- Master Outputs: These tap points allow for the final mixed signal to be routed out to the main speakers or recording systems.
- USB Interfaces: USB connectivity can serve as a tap point for multitrack recording or playback, integrating with DAWs for further manipulation.
- Effects Processing: Onboard effects processors can function as tap points where the signal can be creatively altered before returning to the channel or mix bus.
Utilizing Tap Points: Using tap points effectively within the WING’s architecture can greatly enhance control and creativity in sound mixing. Understanding where each tap point lies within the signal path will empower users to use the console to its full potential, whether for live sound reinforcement or studio applications. Route signals carefully to ensure that you maintain audio quality and avoid unwanted feedback.
