WMX1 Mk3

The ADJ WMX1 MK3 is a standalone DMX lighting controller powered by WOLFMIX for professional lighting control without the need for a computer.

From the Manufacturer

The ADJ WMX1 MK3 brings professional-grade DMX lighting control to users who demand power, flexibility, and simplicity. Designed as a completely standalone solution, the WMX1 MK3 eliminates the need for a computer while providing intuitive control over complex lighting systems through its responsive 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen interface.

Compatible with virtually any DMX fixture, the controller supports up to four DMX universes and 2,048 channels (additional universes available via optional add-ons), allowing control of up to 680 fixtures across 50 device types. With access to more than 15,000 fixture profiles and support for fixture grouping, addressing, sequencing, and project management, the WMX1 MK3 is equally at home in mobile entertainment, clubs, houses of worship, event production, and installation environments.

Create dynamic lighting shows with dedicated Color, Move, and Beam FX engines, each offering eight effect types and extensive customization options including speed, phase, size, fade, fan, sequence, and flicker controls. Built-in music synchronization can be driven by the onboard microphone, line input, Ableton Link, OS2L integration, or manual BPM tapping for perfectly timed effects.

For sophisticated multi-element fixtures, the WMX1 MK3 features Fixture Clusters, allowing a fixture to be divided according to its defined, named sections rather than simply splitting it into equal beams. This makes it easier to control fixtures that incorporate multiple functional lighting elements, such as pixel arrays, RGB rings, strobes, or other independently controllable sections. Each cluster can be recognized as a logical section of the fixture, providing more intuitive control and allowing complex multi-element fixtures to integrate more effectively with the WMX1 MK3's FX engines. Note: Fixture Clusters is currently in beta testing, with the official software release coming November 2026.

The WMX1 MK3 also features 200 preset slots for storing and instantly recalling lighting snapshots, advanced fixture tools such as FLIP and SPLIT functions, automatic gobo alignment across different fixture models, DMX channel testing, and time-controlled triggering of presets and flash buttons.

Additional expansion capabilities include DMX input mapping, WLINK synchronization between multiple Wolfmix controllers, offline 3D visualization with Easy View, and project backup and management through the WTOOLS application. Automatic project recovery ensures your show is always ready to go without the need for manual saving.

Building on the foundation established by the WMX1 and WMX1 MK2, the WMX1 MK3 introduces a refined industrial design and an all-new button mechanism, delivering enhanced responsiveness and a more satisfying tactile experience. With versatile DMX connectivity, MIDI support, USB integration, and a rugged design featuring an ABS enclosure and steel base plate with VESA mounting capability, the WMX1 MK3 provides an innovative and efficient solution for modern lighting control.

Featuring upgraded USB-C connectivity and a sleeker enclosure, the WMX1 MK3 incorporates a precision-molded housing engineered to align seamlessly with the new WMX WING expansion controller (coming Q4 2026). Together, they create a unified control ecosystem designed to work perfectly side by side, expanding creative possibilities while maintaining the intuitive workflow that has made Wolfmix controllers a favorite among lighting professionals.
