This WING Compact is a serious piece of kit—it’s essentially an X32 in a more compact form factor. It’s fantastic for bands, touring acts, or studios needing a ton of channels and flexible routing, but be prepared for a learning curve. It’s a real workhorse, and a surprisingly powerful solution for the price.
