Roadmap

[Wing Rack] Is there a plan for a hardware update? [XLR/TRS outputs]

Hello Behringer Team,

We greatly appreciate the features and flexibility of the Wing Rack; however, there's one particular limitation that's causing genuine difficulties for many users—the internal hardwiring of the XLR and TRS outputs.

The Wing is celebrated for its remarkable routing versatility, which makes it even more noticeable that the current fixed output setup is limiting our workflow and creative options. Compared to the X32 Rack, which provided 8 outputs and 8 auxes, the current setup feels restrictive, especially for bands purchasing a Wing Rack specifically to integrate it into their racks. It's frustrating to consider extending the mobile rack of the band by buying an additional stagebox just to gain more outputs when the console itself already physically includes these ports. Currently, if using the standard LR + sub arrangement, we only have three stereo monitoring outputs (main left, main right, main sub, in-ear 1, in-ear 2 on the back, and in-ear 3 on the front panel), which frequently isn't sufficient.

A hardware upgrade that separates the XLR and TRS outputs, allowing users the choice to link them programmatically, would significantly enhance the Wing Rack's flexibility. Moreover, allowing TRS outputs to be directly assigned to AUX channels would restore and surpass the functionality we previously enjoyed with the X32 Rack.

We're hopeful that this request resonates with your ongoing commitment to user-centric innovation.

Could you please share if there are any plans or considerations underway for addressing this limitation?
Your support in this matter would be highly appreciated by many users.

Thank you very much for considering our feedback.
