WMX1 Mk3 introduces a refined industrial design, an improved button mechanism, modern USB-Cconnectivity, and a precision-molded enclosure designed to integrate seamlessly with the upcoming WING expansion controller.
Designed for users who want professional creative control without the complexity of a traditional lighting console, the WMX1 Mk3 operates completely standalone, eliminating the need for a computer during setup or performance. With support for virtually any DMX fixture and access to more than 15,000 fixture profiles, it provides a flexible control solution for lighting systems featuring products from multiple manufacturers. The WMX1 Mk3 retains the intuitive WOLFMIX workflow that made the platform popular with mobile entertainers, venues, production professionals, and lighting enthusiasts, while refining the physical interface for an even more satisfying live operating experience.

Refined for Live PerformanceAt the heart of the WMX1 Mk3 is a brand-new button mechanism, engineered to provide improved responsiveness and a more satisfying tactile experience during live operation. Combined with rotary controls and a 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen, the controller provides direct, hands-on access to lighting parameters, effects, presets, and performance controls.The controller’s enclosure has also been redesigned with a cleaner, more streamlined appearance. Its precision-molded housing is specifically designed to sit flush against the upcoming WING expansion controller – which will introduce motorized faders, establishing the physical foundation for an expandable WOLFMIX control ecosystem.
Connectivity has also been modernized, with USB-Creplacing the previous USB-Bconnection, providing a current-generation interface while maintaining the WMX1’s compact and practical design.
Powered by WOLFMIX 2.0
The WMX1 Mk3 comes equipped with the latest WOLFMIX 2.0 ‘Double Trouble’ firmware, delivering a significant expansion of the platform’s creative capabilities. This firmware is also available as an upgrade for existing WMX1 controllers.
As its name suggests, WOLFMIX 2.0 dramatically expands many of the platform’s core functions. Preset capacity has doubled from 100 to 200 slots, live edits have increased from 40 to 80, and the number of projects that can be stored has increased from six to 100 (depending on project size and available memory).Static elements such as colors, positions, and GOBOs now offer 20 slots instead of 10, with a new Expand Mode providing quick access to the complete palette. Static positions have also been enhanced to allow individual offset positions for each moving head, providing greater flexibility when creating and recalling looks.The updated platform also supports two simultaneous effects across each category — Color, Move, and Beam — opening up further possibilities for creating layered and dynamic lighting looks.
This can be taken even further with a new feature called ‘Clusters’, which allows elements of complex fixtures to be split off and controlled as independent fixtures within the control system. For example, the pixel ring of ADJ’s Vizi Pix Z19 or the strobe strip of the Jolt Series of bars and panels can be controlled independently of the rest of the fixtures’ output.
Enhanced Music Synchronization and Color ControlWOLFMIX 2.0 also introduces new tools for synchronizing lighting effects with music. Users can now manually set BPM with greater precision directly from the HOME screen, while the new JOG function allows the beat to be nudged live for accurate synchronization. A new MUSIC BREAK option can also freeze all FX when an external BPM signal stops.Color control has received an update too, with the Color Picker now offering expanded RGB+ control and support for LIME alongside RGB and other additional color sources.
