Decksaver Behringer Wing Cover
The Decksaver Behringer Wing Cover is a custom-moulded protective shell designed specifically for the Behringer Wing digital mixing console. Manufactured from high-durability polycarbonate, it shields delicate faders, screens, and controls from dust, liquid, and impact during transport or downtime.

The Decksaver Behringer Wing Cover is a professional-grade protective accessory engineered to fit the unique geometry of the Behringer Wing digital mixer. Recognising the complexity and sensitivity of modern digital consoles, Decksaver utilizes a slim-profile design that adds minimal bulk while offering significant structural reinforcement. It is primarily used in studio environments, live venues, and during transit to prevent mechanical failure and cosmetic wear.
Design and Material
The cover is constructed from polycarbonate, a transparent thermoplastic renowned for its impact resistance and toughness—the same material often used in bulletproof glass. The shell is precision-trimmed using modern manufacturing processes to follow the contours of the Behringer Wing exactly. This ensures that every fader, knob, and the large touchscreen interface is shielded without the cover shifting or slipping accidentally.
Practical Features
A key design feature of the Decksaver cover is its ability to accommodate rear-panel cabling. Unlike universal cases that require a complete teardown of the setup, this cover allows the mixer to remain fully patched.
- Custom Moulding: Tailored specifically for the Wing's interface.
- Clear Visibility: The transparent material allows users to check the status of the board without removal.
- Space Management: The low profile enables the mixer to still fit inside most compatible flight cases even with the cover attached.
Applications
This cover is suited to a variety of professional users:
1. Studio Engineers: It prevents dust accumulation in the fader tracks during long periods of inactivity. 2. Live Venues: It offers protection against accidental liquid spills or debris in high-traffic booth areas. 3. Touring Professionals: It provides an extra layer of security inside a road case, preventing the case lid or internal padding from putting undue pressure on the mixer's encoders and screen.
Comparison to Alternatives
While generic fabric dust covers exist, they do not provide protection against impact or liquid penetration. Compared to hard flight cases, the Decksaver is significantly lighter and more convenient for daily studio use where a heavy lid is impractical. Specialized cases like the BAM Conservatoire or Artisto series are designed for instruments like violins and cellos, whereas this Decksaver is a technical protective solution specifically for large-format digital electronics.

Frequently asked questions
- What material is the Decksaver Behringer Wing Cover made from?
- The cover is manufactured from a highly durable polycarbonate shell. This material is chosen for its extreme strength-to-weight ratio and its ability to withstand significant physical impact.
- Does the cover protect against water and other liquids?
- Yes, the solid polycarbonate construction acts as a barrier against accidental liquid spills. However, it is not a waterproof seal and will not protect the unit if the entire mixer is submerged.
- Can I leave my cables plugged in while using the cover?
- The design is precision-trimmed to accommodate cables. This allows you to keep the Behringer Wing fully patched and ready for use as soon as the cover is removed.
- Does this cover include the Behringer Wing mixer?
- No, the product is a protective accessory only. The Behringer Wing digital mixer must be purchased separately.
- Is the cover transparent or opaque?
- Decksaver covers are typically transparent or smoked-clear. This allows the user to see the console layout and any indicator lights even while the protection is in place.
- How much does the Decksaver for the Behringer Wing typically cost?
- The typical price range for this specific model is approximately £117 in the United Kingdom. Prices may vary slightly based on the retailer and shipping costs.
- Does the cover protect the touchscreen on the Behringer Wing?
- Yes, the custom-moulded shell covers the entire top surface of the mixer. This includes the large capacitive touchscreen, protecting it from scratches and impact.
- Can I fit the mixer into a flight case with the Decksaver on?
- In most instances, yes. The low-profile design is intended to add minimal height, allowing it to serve as a secondary layer of protection inside a standard road case.
- Why is polycarbonate better than fabric covers?
- Polycarbonate provides rigid structural protection against blunt force and sharp objects. Fabric covers only protect against dust and cannot prevent physical damage to faders or screens.
- Is this cover compatible with other mixers like the Midas M32?
- No, this specific model is custom-built exclusively for the Behringer Wing. Because of the precision moulding, it will not fit mixers with different dimensions or control layouts.
- Does the cover help during transport?
- Yes, it is ideal for use during movement. It prevents faders from being snagged and shields the control surface from shifting items inside a vehicle or gig bag.
- How do I clean the Decksaver cover?
- It can be cleaned using a soft microfibre cloth and specialized plastic cleaners. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could scratch the polycarbonate surface.
