- Using a Behringer P16-M over UltranetUpdate info was released on .
While the WING doesn't have an Ultranet routing menu as the X32 did, it can still output Ultranet via stage boxes. The WING itself doesn't have an Ultranet port, but in most cases, you're going to connect the P16-M or P16-D to your stage box instead of directly to the mixer. Supported stage boxes receive the 16 Ultranet channels over AES50 on channels 33 to 48. Use the outputs tab in the routing menu and select AES50 A/B/C (depending on your setup) to choose which sources you want to send to the P16-Ms.

- Fader layer customizationUpdate info was released on .
Behringer made the WING's surface very flexible. It's divided into three bays. The left bay has twelve faders, the center bay has eight faders, and the right bay has four faders. Each bank comes with predefined layers that vaguely correspond with traditional mixing layouts. The left bay is input focussed, the center bay is for busses, matrixes, and DCAs, and the right bay is for mains. All banks additionally have a USER 1 and USER 2 layer that's user-assignable. To edit the assignments, press the VIEW button on the corresponding bank and tap the ASSIGN button with the wrench icon at the top of the main display.

Behringer WING allows for increased customization in comparison with older consoles. You can change the channel processing order and pre-fader tap point (starting with firmware version 1.09) on a channel by channel basis.
- Automatically sync channel name and icon with the sourceUpdate info was released on .
Most of the time, I enjoy the separation of channel and source on the Behringer WING, but practically all of my channels will have the source's name, color, and icon. Until firmware version 1.10, you had to sync the them manually, but now the console can do this automatically.
- How to quickly select a different channelUpdate info was released on .
It's cumbersome to select a channel from the fader banks when setting up a new show or changing some utility channels because they might be on a different layer and not in order. With firmware version 1.09, Behringer added a neat little shortcut: Tap the channel number in the main display to open a quick-select menu of all channels.
