We’ve added the Wolfmix W1 DMX Controller to our hire stock

If you’ve been asking for a compact, performance-ready lighting controller that’s built for live hands-on work, good news: the Wolfmix W1 is now available from AVE Services.

About the kit

The Wolfmix W1 is a standalone DMX lighting controller designed for fast, tactile programming without a laptop. It’s ideal when you need to build looks quickly, trigger effects on the fly, and keep your focus on the show.

Why we like it

• Standalone brain – programme and run shows directly on the unit.

• Live “busking” workflow – faders, colour/effect wheels, and performance-friendly buttons make it easy to react in real time.

• Quick show build – create groups, palettes, and chases rapidly for tight turnarounds.

• Compact & robust – small footprint for FOH tables, DJ booths, and tight control positions.

• Scales with your rig – works nicely for small to mid-sized lighting setups; great as a portable controller for touring techs.

• No-nonsense setup – plug in DMX, patch your fixtures, and you’re off.

(If you’d like us to pre-patch your fixtures or build a base showfile before collection, just ask.)

Use cases
