I wrote this after about six months with the Behringer Wing. It's 2026 now and nothing below has changed.
It's still our sound board. We use it every single week. I still love it.
And I still don't love the physical layout. That's the one thing. Years of running it didn't change my mind, which is probably more useful to you than anything I could've said at six months.
Everything below is the original review.
There are plenty of professional reviews of this board out there. This one's from someone who's usually on stage playing guitar rather than behind the console. If that's closer to your situation, this'll be more useful.
Setting it up was surprisingly intuitive. I didn't read any manuals or watch setup videos and I still found my way through the menus to configure sources, channels, and outputs. That separation of sources (inputs), channels (signal paths), and outputs (destinations) made sense to me right away and made routing a lot simpler.
You can build custom layouts for different banks of faders, and set up personalized user presets for different operators.
That last part matters more than it sounds. Your volunteer walks up, loads their own preset, and the controls they actually use are right in front of them. Nobody's hunting through menus five minutes before service.
The channel strip layout is great. You get a clear picture of signal flow and quick access to gain, EQ, compression, and effects without digging.
Big upgrade from the X32. The delays and reverbs are good enough that you stop needing outboard gear, which takes a whole layer of complexity out of the room.
The physical layout.
The custom control section and some of the extra buttons and knobs just go unused in our room. And I want more faders per bank. 16 instead of 12. That one change would make this thing noticeably faster to mix on.
Three-plus years later, that's still my only complaint.
The jump is smooth. The Wing works with your existing Behringer stage boxes, so most of the pain of an upgrade just isn't there.
On sound, I noticed the difference immediately, before touching any EQ or compression.
If we'd owned the Wing back in 2020, I would've built a dedicated stream mix bus on it and run it from an iPad.
We eventually did exactly that, and it's the single biggest improvement we've made to our stream audio. I broke down that switch in a separate post on the best live stream mix our small church has ever had.
We put out free templates, checklists, and training for church media teams. Grab the free resources here.
