Description

WING COMPACT features a console surface optimized for fast and accurate operation, excelling specifically in monitor mixing applications. Its dedicated master and bus section, with 4 layers of 16 hotkeys clearly labeled on its own color display, is breaking new ground in terms of speed and overview. The large touch screen with rotary controls for intuitive parameter adjustments offers the same innovative user interface that the full-size WING console is famous for.
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.
Experience Total Recall
Save and recall precise FX parameters, specific channel settings, console settings, or entire shows. Whether you’re working on a complex live performance or a musical theater project, WING offers an extremely comprehensive toolkit for recalling and triggering all elements of your show instantaneously, with the granularity you need.
Enjoy World-Class Effects
WING is equipped with over 80 unique effects and emulations inspired by renowned hardware like the Pultec EQ, SSL Bus Compressor, Gate/Expander, SPL Transient Designer, Neve EQ, Compressor, Gate, Focusrite ISA and D3, DBX160, LA-2A, 1176, Elysia mPressor, and Empirical Labs Distressor. No external gear is required.
WING boasts double the effect engines and insert points compared to the X32 and utilizes 40-bit internal processing algorithms, providing greater accuracy and an expanded dynamic range.
