ADJ WMX1 Mk2 – Wolfmix Powered Standalone DMX Lighting Controller

The ADJ WMX1 Mk2 is a compact, performance-focused standalone DMX lighting controller powered by the Wolfmix FX engine. Designed for DJs, clubs, churches, and live production, it delivers fast, hands-on control over complex lighting rigs – no laptop or lighting console required. With a 4.3-inch color touchscreen, 37 backlit silicone buttons, up to 4 DMX universes, and powerful built-in FX, the WMX1 Mk2 lets you build professional, music-synced light shows on the fly.

Built for real-world performers, the WMX1 Mk2 combines the simplicity of a DJ controller with the depth of a pro-grade lighting desk. An intuitive touchscreen workflow makes patching fixtures, building groups, and dialing in effects fast and painless, while dedicated performance buttons give you instant access to blackout, strobe, blinder, smoke, and speed. Mk2 updates include larger encoder caps for better grip, MIDI triggering support, and a new USB-A port for MIDI controllers and project backups.
