The Wolfmix W1 MK2 at a glance
TheWolfmix W1 MK2 is a standalone DMX performance controller designed for creating light shows on the fly without a computer. The MK2 version of the popular controller continues to offer numerous FX modules, music synchronization and up to 4 DMX universes. The updated model can control up to 680 fixtures & beams and furthermore up to 50 fixture types and up to 5000 fixture properties can be set.
New features include new, larger encoder caps, which make it easier to control the settings and effects of your lighting system. At the rear, the USB-A socket allows you to connect a USB memory stick or MIDI controller directly to the controller for even more versatile control of your light show and to import shows from a USB stick. or for a live performance, a disco, a club or a show - the Wolfmix W1 MK2 has everything you need for a varied and breathtaking light show.
The Wolfmix has a powerful processor, which means that the device is ready for use and can start the show in 2 seconds. The DMX controller is equipped with a total of 37 silicone buttons, which are color-coded. These silicone buttons can be used to set a wide variety of things. The standalone controller also has a 4.3" touchscreen with tinted glass and thus offers immediate access to the most important FX effects and functions such as the pan/tilt grids.
Wolfmix W1 MK2 in detail
Simple control
On the fly is the big theme with the Wolfmix W1 MK2. The operation of the effects and FX settings is very intuitive and can be changed very quickly, either via the silicone buttons, the touchscreen or the potentiometers. For example, the color of a spotlight can be easily adjusted. There is a color button for this.
The sound input via the 3.5mm jack should also be emphasized. This makes it easy to automatically synchronize the light show to the music. The DMX Performance Controller also has a built-in microphone. It is also possible to use the BPM sync with Ableton Link, OS2L or BPM TAP.
Expansion options
If one Wolfmix W1 MK2 is not sufficient in terms of functionality, it is possible to connect two W1 MK2s via 5pin-5pin WLINK cables (available separately). This allows up to 8 groups to be controlled side by side.
Alternatively, the WLINK socket can be used to connect a DMX controller like a traditional DMX fader board - so DMX input channels can be mapped to group dimmers or directly to output channels (update subject to charge).
