• Music sync: Omnidirectional microphone with automatic gain, 3.5 mm jack line input and analog peak detection circuit.
• Software BPM synchronization: Ableton Link and OS2L via computer, plus MIDI Clock , TAP and MIDI control.
• FX and creative control: Color FX, Move FX and Beam FX modules (up to 25 FX), 8 groups, 100 presets and 40 live edits.
• Library and compatibility: 15,000+ profiles available (3,500+ in the controller), up to 680 luminaires/beams and 50 types of fixtures per project.
• 3D Visualization: Integration with Easy View 3D (add-on) to preview the show without a DMX interface.
• WTOOLS and backups: Updates, add-on purchases and backup/restoration of projects and fixtures to USB memory.
• Robust construction: ABS chassis with painted steel base and rear; ultra-fast start and password lock.

Product benefits

• Live speed: Touch interface + dedicated buttons to program and trigger effects without complex menus or a computer.
• More musical shows: Audio, BPM, and MIDI synchronization keeps colors, movements, and strobes in rhythm.
• Real scalability: Start with 2 universes and expand to 3–4 as your rig grows, keeping the same hardware.
• Less cabling: Assign universes to XLR outputs and use the equipment as a splitter to simplify DMX runs.
• Efficient preparation: With the 3D visualizer and palettes, you get the show ready before assembly.
• Wide compatibility: Massive library and integrated fixture creator to cover everything from PARs and LED bars to moving heads.

Use cases

• Club and DJ booth: 4 universes for pixel mapping and BPM by Ableton Link/OS2L with synchronized effects.
• Mobile events: A universe divided into several XLR outputs as a splitter for faster assembly and disassembly.
• Theater and live shows: Control of dimmers/groups by external faders via DMX IN with WLINK.
• Studio pre-programming: Creation of presets and queues with Easy View 3D and USB backup.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Do I need a computer? Not for operation. A computer is required for extra features such as Ableton Link/OS2L, the 3D viewer, and purchasing/activating add-ons via WTOOLS.
• How do I expand to 4 universes? By purchasing the Universe 3 and 4 add-ons from WTOOLS. The assignment to XLR outputs is configurable from the controller itself.
• Can I synchronize two Wolfmix units? Yes, with WLINK (add-on) you can link two units or use DMX IN to map faders to groups or channels.
• Does it work as a DMX splitter? Yes, thanks to universe mapping you can use the XLR outputs as a distributor.

Other notable features

• Palettes: 10 static colors per group with gradient, 5 static positions per group with fade /fanning and 5 customizable gobos.
• 6 Flash buttons for special FX, strobe, blinder, speed, blackout and smoke.
• Live DMX level view, Beam Editor , motion limits, Flip / Split for multi-FX bars and password lock.
• Start in <2 s and DMX send in <1 s.
