WING RACK Quick Start Guide
WING RACK Overview
4. Rear Panel
Analog I/O, MIDI and GPIO
The rear panel analog connections include 24 Midas PRO series microphone preamps with combo jack connectors and 8 XLR outputs.
Four stereo headphones can be used for monitoring. To assign buses to these outputs, go to ROUTING>OUTPUTS>LOCAL OUT.
5-pin MIDI IN and OUT jacks allow external MIDI control, and a pair of ¼" TRS jacks for up to four GPIOs allow basic input and output commands.
ETHERNET/AES50/Control/StageConnect
A pair of Ethernet ports allow a network to be set up via router for wired or wireless control using one of the control apps on a computer or mobile device.
The console also can be connected to a computer via the USB type B connector for the following uses:
• • 48 input/48 output audio interface. The corresponding ASIO driver can be downloaded from behringer.com.
• • Firmware updates.
• • Data exchange.
3 AES50 ports each provide up to 48 input and output channels to and from digital stage boxes, ensuring a high channel count and allowing patching to and from
multiple locations. The WING is fully compatible with all X32 series mixers and stage boxes.
All AES50 connections between WING and stage boxes should have:
• • Shielded CAT-5e cables.
• • Ethercon-terminated cable ends.
• • Maximum cable length of 80 meters.
StageConnect transmits up to 32 digital audio input or output channels using a standard balanced XLR cable (110 Ω impedance DMX-cable recommended).
The interface supports different bus configurations of input and output channels and uses digital, uncompressed PCM audio at 44.1/48 kHz and 24-bit resolution.
StageConnect was developed for flexible connections on stage or to a side rack, supporting a wide range of applications at sub-millisecond latency.
Stereo AES3 (AES/EBU) input and output connections can be made via XLR cables.
Expansion Slot
The WING console ships with the WING-LIVE card installed, which allows up to 64 channels of 48 kHz / 32-bit audio to be recorded onto a pair of SD or SDHC cards.
Cards with other protocols such as Dante, MADI and SoundGrid can be installed in this slot.
Power
Connect the included IEC cable.
5. Main Screens
Most of the advanced editing and control is done on the Main Display. Screens can be navigated via the seven buttons to the left of the screen, or via VIEW buttons in
each section of the top panel.
There are six screens accessible via the buttons next to the Main Display:
• • HOME
• • EFFECTS
• • METERS
• • ROUTING
• • SETUP
• • LIBRARY
Note that the UTILITY button does not have a specific screen related to it.
A status bar is displayed at the top of the screen to provide a quick reference for channel name, clock, and alerts. This also allows constant access to the SD card
controls, setup menu, library functions and other tools.
