The Wolfmix W1 MK3 is a standalone performance DMX controller for running a light show live, with no computer in the chain. It drives up to four DMX universes (two as standard, with universes 3 and 4 a paid add-on unlocked through WTOOLS) from an onboard FX engine with dedicated Colour, Move and Beam racks, a 4.3-inch colour touchscreen, four encoders and 37 backlit pads. Music sync comes from the built-in microphone, a 3.5mm line-in or BPM tap, with Ableton Link and OS2L available when it is connected over USB to a computer running WTOOLS, so it locks to the DJ or the band without programming. Thousands of fixture profiles are onboard and over 15,000 are available through the free WTOOLS app, with a built-in fixture builder for anything else. It suits mobile DJs, small clubs, bars, function bands and dry hire where a laptop-based console is too much to set up and too easy to knock over.

Powered over USB-CThe W1 MK3 takes its power from the USB-C port at 5V 900mA, or 1500mA where MIDI or WLINK devices hang off the USB-A port. Any decent USB-C phone charger or a powered USB port on a laptop will run it. The steel base plate carries a 100mm VESA pattern (M4, 6mm maximum) for mounting on an arm or stand in a permanent install.
