WING COMPACT Quick Start Guide
WING COMPACT Overview
Monitoring/Talkback/USB
A USB type-A connector allows a flash drive to be plugged directly into the console for saving or loading data. This allows you to back up your show files or load your
usual setup on a rented WING console.
This USB connection allows recording and playback of two- or four-channel-WAV audio files. The port can also charge a portable device such as a phone or tablet.
Flash drives connected to the USB port can be disconnected whenever the ACCESS light has turned off.
Dedicated knobs control the headphone and monitor output level of the buses MONITOR A and MONITOR B, respectively, found in the source group "Monitor" in the
ROUTING screen. Both stereo buses can be routed to any physical output.
Engaging the DIM button reduces the monitor volume temporarily. The MONO button sums the monitor signal to mono. Holding the DIM button mutes the monitor.
Holding the MONO button swaps left and right monitor signals. In order to use the headphone connectors on the console the monitor signals must be routed to the
corresponding outputs (these are indicated with a headphone symbol on the output routing page, i.e. Aux 7/8 for the WING COMPACT console).
The talkback mic level can be adjusted via the TALK LEVEL knob and TALK A and B buttons send the talkback signal to different destinations. Either Channel 40 or Aux 8
can be used as processing channel for the talkback signal. Processing can be applied as needed. Any input can be assigned to the selected talkback channel.
Press the VIEW button to control the monitor settings, adjust the amount of Dim attenuation, setup the routing for the talkback mic, and other parameters.
Fader Sections
The WING COMPACT has two fader sections: the input channels section and the main fader section.
Input Channels
The 12 faders to the left side of the console can accommodate multiple sources: input channels, aux channels, buses, mains, matrices, DCAs and user-customizable
banks or layers. Note that all banks can be customized. USER1 and USER2 are empty by default.
Selecting different fader banks with the layer/bank buttons on the left grey area will bring a new set of channels to the input channels fader section. If a particular
bank exceeds the amount of available physical faders in the section, the shift arrows will scroll in blocks of four (or 12 or 8 depending on setup configuration) channels
to access the remaining ones.
To access the fader bank configuration, press and hold the VIEW button. To assign channels to the selected bank, drag and drop them from the CHANNELS, BUS/MAIN
and DCA tabs to the bottom of the screen.
Main fader
WING Compact's main fader section is especially designed for applications where quick adjustments to bus sends are vital. 16 hot keys automatically activate sends on
fader mode to the corresponding bus. For instance, when pressing the "1" button, each channel's fader controls the send level to bus 1.
On top of the 16 buses, this section also controls the 4 main buses, 8 matrices, 16 DCAs and user-customizable banks.
The screen shows what is currently controlled by the main fader and each of the 1-16 buttons.
By default, when none of the 1-16 buttons are highlighted, the main fader controls the MAIN1 level, independent of the BUS MASTER, DCA, MAIN/MATRIX and USER
buttons state. This can be changed on the SETUP>SURFACE menu.
• •
MAIN/MATRIX: buttons 1-4 control the sends to the main buses 1 to 4. "Sends on Faders" is activated on the input channels section when pressing one of the 1-4
buttons. The sends from specific channels to the selected bus are activated by unmuting the respective channel. The corresponding fader controls the send level.
Holding down one of the 1-4 buttons activates "spill" mode on the input channels section, so that the channels currently being sent to the selected main bus are
shown on the input channel faders.
Buttons 9-16 control the sends to matrices 1-8. Pressing one of the buttons 9-16 activates spill mode for the desired matrix. Holding down the button activates "sends
on fader mode" for the desired matrix. Note that only buses and main buses can be sent to matrices.
Note that the send level to the main buses and the channel fader are independent. When none of the 1-16 buttons are lit, each fader controls the corresponding
channel's level. When one of the 1-16 buttons are lit, each fader controls the corresponding send level to the selected main bus or matrix.
To change whether sends on fader or spill mode will be activated when pressing the 1-16 buttons once and when holding them down, go to:
SETUP>SURFACE>MAIN SPILL ON/OFF
SETUP>SURFACE>MATRIX SPILL ON/OFF
• •
BUS MASTER: buttons 1-16 control each of the 16 buses. Pressing a button once activates sends on fader mode for the corresponding bus. Holding down the
button activates spill mode for the same bus. To change how each mode is activated, go to:
SETUP>SURFACE>BUS SPILL ON/OFF
• •
DCA: buttons 1-16 activate spill mode for each of the corresponding DCAs. Channels can be assigned to a DCA by pressing the DCA button on the master section,
then pressing one of the 1-16 buttons, holding down the SELECT button on the master section, navigating through the desired fader banks on the input channels
and pressing SELECT on the desired channels. Alternatively, a channel can be assigned to a DCA through HOME>TAGS.
• •
USER: up to 20 different controls can be assigned to the 1-16 buttons on the master section. To do so, hold down the VIEW button. 5 layers of 4 buttons each are
available to the left of the screen. The layers can be navigated with the arrows on the top left-hand corner. Each layer is assigned to the following buttons:
• •
LAYER 1: USER 1-4
• •
LAYER 2: USER 5-8
• •
LAYER 3: USER 9-12
• •
LAYER 4: USER 13-16
• •
LAYER 5: MAIN/MATRIX 5-8
