Behringer Wing Black Digital Mixer

Behringer WING Black Digital Mixer — Flagship Console for Live and Broadcast

The Behringer WING Black is a 48-stereo-channel, 28-bus full-stereo digital mixing console built for high-channel-count live production, broadcast, and hybrid studio workflows. 8 Midas PRO mic preamps, 24 motorized 100 mm faders, and a 10.1" capacitive touchscreen anchor the control surface. This console is the right choice for engineers who need flagship-tier I/O density and tactile control in a single desk.

What Sets This Console Apart in the Flagship Tier

Three features set this model apart from mid-tier desks. The Sources architecture attaches metadata — tags, icons, colors, gain, phantom power, and mono/stereo/M-S mode — to every input so it follows the signal across any channel. StageConnect transmits 32 channels of 24-bit / 48 kHz audio plus power over a single XLR cable for runs beyond 30 m. Forty-bit floating-point processing preserves headroom that 24-bit desks clip.

Reference Conversion and Headroom for Demanding Sources

Capture quality starts at the Midas PRO preamps and runs through the signal chain at 40-bit floating-point precision. Phantom power is available on every XLR input.

• Mic Preamps: 8 Midas PRO — 112 dB A/D dynamic range
• Analog Outputs: 8 Midas PRO XLR with 118 dB D/A dynamic range and +21 dBu maximum level
• Digital I/O: AES/EBU XLR in/out for stereo digital links to outboard gear

Insane I/O for Distributed Stage and Networked Rigs

With 374 inputs and 376 outputs, this desk adapts to multi-band festivals and networked broadcast splits. The expansion slot accepts Dante, MADI, or Waves SoundGrid cards.

• AES50 Ports: 3 SuperMAC — 144 signals with 6-sample latency
• StageConnect: 32 channels over a single XLR cable
• USB Audio Interface: 48 in / 48 out class-compliant for DAW recording

Tactile Workflow With World-Class Processing Built In

Twenty-four motorized faders across three sections, plus a 10.1" touchscreen and 2.4" channel-editing display, keep critical parameters within reach. Sixteen true-stereo effects engines run 80+ algorithms modeled on classic hardware.

• Faders: 24 motorized 100 mm in three sections (12 + 8 + 4)
• Main Display: 10.1" TFT capacitive touch, 1280 × 800 px with 15°–60° swivel
• Effects Engines: 16 true-stereo processors with Pultec, SSL, Neve, LA-2A, 1176 emulations

Engineers Running Demanding Live, Broadcast, and Hybrid Productions

This console fits touring engineers at multi-band festivals, where 48 stereo FlexChannels and 28 buses eliminate repatching. Houses of worship benefit from Auto Pilot's two-group gain sharing on 16 channels. Recording studios that double as live rooms get a 48-in/48-out USB audio interface plus the WING-LIVE 64-track SD recorder for virtual soundcheck. This console is the right choice for audio professionals who need flagship-tier I/O and Midas-grade conversion.

The WING Line — Behringer's Flagship Successor to the X32

Behringer launched the WING family as the evolution of the X32 platform that reshaped affordable digital mixing. Since 2019, the WING has been refined through firmware updates and expanded into three form factors, with this model representing the flagship desk.
