WING : Not what you'd expect!

This mixer is great, undoubtedly the best at its price point by a large margin. For similar flexibility you'll have to look at A&H's SQ7 or Yamaha's QL5, but you'll find many features within the wing that neither the SQ or QL have are in the Wing, with many more on the way. It's new approach to routing can be a little confusing at first, but this is in order to maximise flexibility and is actually very intuitive after a short familiarisation period. There are a few features within the firmware that are as yet unreleased while the developers are finalising the functionality. Some see this as a disadvantage, but I am finding that the features currently enabled in the firmware already put it above the X/M32, and music group are listening to current users in the development of future firmware releases.

The sound quality is first class - the on board mic preamps and output stages are from the Midas Pro range - although users will need to own or purchase an additional stage box to take advantage of all the available mix channels. All round an astoundingly capable mixer for the money.
