Wolfmix WING – Motorised DMX Controller Expansion Add-On for Wolfmix W1
Buy the Wolfmix WING, an advanced DMX controller expansion add-on designed for the Wolfmix W1 (MK1, MK2, and MK3). Features 8 motorized faders, 8 monochrome OLED displays, an 8x5 RGB button matrix, dedicated Cue List playback, and 4 DMX output universes. In stock, fast UK delivery.
The Wolfmix WING is a hardware expansion control wing engineered for lighting designers, mobile DJs, venue operators, and production technicians who want hands-on physical control over their Wolfmix W1 standalone lighting ecosystem. Designed to sit flush alongside any Wolfmix W1 unit (MK1, MK2, or MK3), the WING connects via a single USB cable to instantly fuse both units into a unified control console capable of outputting up to 8 DMX universes. Outfitted with eight touch-sensitive motorized faders with expressive RGB lightguides, eight OLED parameter displays, an 8x5 RGB performance pad matrix, and four rotary encoders, the WING introduces powerful dedicated operating workflows including Cue List sequence timing, direct live Control over fixture attributes, and flexible parameter Mapping.
Staff Take: The Expert Verdict
The single strongest selling point of the Wolfmix WING is the addition of smooth, touch-sensitive motorized faders paired with dedicated Cue List sequencing for the Wolfmix W1 system. The standout feature is how the faders dynamically jump to match your active preset parameter values, eliminating jumpy value jumps when switching between groups or effect racks. We highly recommend the WING expansion for mobile wedding DJs who want structured cue-to-cue timing for intros and first dances, as well as venue operators who want hands-on physical fader control over sub-groups, dimmers, and moving head positions.
Why Choose the Wolfmix WING Controller Expansion?
-
8 touch-sensitive motorized faders: Glides smoothly across expressive RGB lightguides with capacitive touch caps for tactile, real-time fixture parameter control.
-
8 monochrome OLED strip displays: Clear 64x32 pixel displays above each channel fader instantly identify active group names, fixture modes, and parameter values.
-
Dedicated Cue List mode: Program up to 1,000 cues per cue list across 100 cue lists with custom fade times, hold times, and MIDI Timecode support for theatrical performances.
-
4 additional DMX output universes: Features 2 x 3-pin and 2 x 2 5-pin XLR outputs on board, expanding your total Wolfmix rig capacity up to 8 universes when linked to a W1.
-
8x5 RGB performance pad matrix: Expanded canvas provides immediate visual status and selection access across all 8 fixture groups and subgroups simultaneously.
-
Flexible Mapping & Subgroups: Divide your fixture groups into up to 8 subgroups and assign custom fader layouts, dimmers, or FX controls across multiple pages.
-
Generic USB-C MIDI controller mode: Can be connected directly to laptops or PC rigs over USB-C to act as a physical MIDI hardware controller for third-party lighting or DJ software.
-
Compact, tour-grade housing: Features an ultra-portable footprint (just over A4 size) with a powder-coated steel base plate and 100mm VESA mounting threads.
Who is the Wolfmix WING best suited for?
The Wolfmix WING is designed first and foremost for active Wolfmix W1 owners (MK1, MK2, and MK3) who require tactile physical control rather than relying solely on touchscreen interaction during high-stakes shows. Its dedicated motorized faders and Cue List engine make it an essential upgrade for mobile wedding DJs, festival lighting operators, and live band technicians who need physical fader control over dimmers, subgroup levels, and moving head positions.
For secondary applications, the WING is an outstanding solution for fixed venue installations, houses of worship, and theater technicians. The ability to lock custom fader mappings, trigger timed cue stacks via GO buttons, or feed external MIDI Timecode ensures smooth, repeatable light show execution for non-technical staff or guest operators.
Wolfmix WING vs Standard W1 Standalone Operation — What's Changed?
The primary advancement when adding the Wolfmix WING to a Wolfmix W1 controller is the immediate shift from a touch-focused menu workflow to a true hardware console experience. Operating a standalone W1 requires switching pages on the touchscreen to adjust individual group levels. The WING places all 8 fixture groups, motorized faders, OLED displays, and an 8x5 RGB button matrix right in front of the operator simultaneously, allowing live parameter adjustments on the fly.
Secondary enhancements focus on programming depth and output scale. While the W1 excels at dynamic live performance FX, the WING introduces structured Cue Lists with programmable fade and hold times, sub-grouping capabilities, custom fader mapping, and onboard DMX output hardware that expands total system capability up to 8 universes.
How to Set Up the Wolfmix WING
-
Place the Wolfmix WING alongside your Wolfmix W1 (MK1, MK2, or MK3) on a flat surface or mount it using the rear 100mm VESA threads.
-
Connect the supplied USB cable between the USB-A port on the WING and the USB port on your Wolfmix W1.
-
Plug a compatible USB-C PD power supply (15V, 3A) into the WING's USB-C power input socket to power both units simultaneously.
-
Power on the system; the W1 will automatically recognize the WING, synchronize project files, and map default group controls across the motorized faders.
-
Connect your DMX lighting lines to the 3-pin or 5-pin XLR output sockets on either the W1 or WING hardware.
-
Select your operating mode (Cue List, Control, or Mapping) using the dedicated mode keys on the WING panel to begin programming or live performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Wolfmix WING work as a standalone controller without a Wolfmix W1?
When connected to a computer via USB-C, the Wolfmix WING can function as a generic USB MIDI controller for third-party lighting or music software. However, to access the standalone Wolfmix beam engine, fixture library, and project files, it must be paired with a Wolfmix W1 (MK1, MK2, or MK3).
Is the WING compatible with older Wolfmix W1 models?
Yes, absolutely. The Wolfmix WING is fully backward and forward compatible with all generations of the Wolfmix W1, including MK1, MK2, and MK3 hardware revisions.
How does the WING expand the total number of DMX universes?
The WING hardware features four physical XLR output ports (two 3-pin and two 5-pin). When linked with a Wolfmix W1, the combined processing engine can address and output up to 8 total DMX universes across both devices.
Does the WING require a separate power supply if connected to a W1?
The WING requires a 15V / 3A USB-C power supply. When plugged into mains power, the WING powers itself and passes power downstream to feed and run the connected Wolfmix W1 via USB.
What is the "PIN" mode on the Wolfmix WING?
The PIN function allows you to lock the WING in a specific operating mode (such as Cue List or Control faders) while allowing another technician or performer to use the touchscreen on the Wolfmix W1 independently for other functions.
