WMX Wing

The WMX WING is a hands-on lighting console for smaller productions. It works on its own as a standalone console, and it also pairs with the WMX1 Mk2 to make a bigger system. It's aimed at DJs, but it's also incredibly useful for small bands, churches, and even theatre groups. You get 8 motorized faders, OLED scribble strips, and an RGB backlit button matrix, so busking a show feels natural and you always know what's under your fingers.

Like the WMX1, it's one of the quickest and easiest lighting consoles to learn. Once it's set up, almost anyone can be taught how to run a good-looking show in just 5-10 minutes! When you need more room, fuse it with a WMX1 for up to 8 universes. With no project loaded, it also works as a generic MIDI controller.

From the Manufacturer:

The ADJ WMX WING powered by WOLFMIX is the dedicated control expansion for the ADJ WMX1, WMX1 MK2 and WMX1 MK3, adding motorized faders, OLED displays, an expanded button matrix and hands-on access to the functions that matter most.

WMX WING is compatible with all ADJ WMX1 generations: WMX1 (equivalent to Wolfmix W1 MK1), WMX1 MK2 (equivalent to Wolfmix W1 MK2) and WMX1 Mk3 (equivalent to Wolfmix W1 MK3). ADJ WMX WING is the ADJ version of the Wolfmix WING.

Connect the two and they become a single integrated lighting control system, giving you more space to build, program and perform ambitious shows while retaining the intuitive workflow and standalone operation of WOLFMIX.
