Product Experience I own it

The WMX 1 fills the space between a conventional DMX controller and a computer with a lighting program when working with more complex fixtures. A number of fixtures have preset profiles - once you add them in then you can start running them right away. An example is the ADJ Rayzer...it's a 29 channel fixture because of the number of circular LED rings so to run this on conventional DMX required a lot of programming and a chase to get the most out of it but with the WMX1 you can set up and unleash the full potential of the fixture in under 5 minutes. For fixtures that don't have a WMX1 profile you can create your own but this does require general knowledge on lighting and DMX to get them fully functioning so there is a bit of a learning curve as this is a more advanced task but once you get them going you will be very impressed. I love the small footprint and efficient operation. Very powerful controller in a compact package.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemednecessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable.The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.

FAQs

American DJ - WMX1 Standalone DMX Controller? ›

DMX lighting is a type of digital lighting control. DMX stands for Digital Multiplex and is a system that allows multiple fixtures to be affected by a single controller. DMX lighting uses a data signal to precisely control the intensity, colour, and other parameters of LED lights.

What does DMX controller stand for? ›

DMX lighting is a type of digital lighting control. DMX stands for Digital Multiplex and is a system that allows multiple fixtures to be affected by a single controller. DMX lighting uses a data signal to precisely control the intensity, colour, and other parameters of LED lights.

Can you have multiple DMX controllers? ›

DMX networks typically only have one master device on the network, usually the controller, and many slave devices — the lights. In more advanced systems, there can be multiple controllers; however, there is still only one master device.

What is a DMX remote? ›

DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a protocol used to control devices such as lights or fog machines. The signal is unidirectional, meaning it only travels in one direction; from the controller or first light, all the way to the last.

How to reset wolfmix? ›

Encoder actions:

Move the first encoder to change the value of the selected feature. Push the encoder to apply the change. Move the second encoder to reset all features on the channel or reset just the selected feature.

What can you control with DMX? ›

This means that a DMX universe of 512 channels is capable of controlling up 170 separate RGB lights or lighting zones. If you're using single-colour LEDs, then a single DMX universe is sufficient to control up to 512 LEDs or lighting zones.

What happens if you use XLR instead of DMX? ›

DMX has a higher impedance (110 ohms) than XLR (75 ohms). This means that XLR uses different signals than DMX is built to handle. An XLR cable can transmit a DMX signal, but not very well. An XLR cable used for this is likely to cause flickering lights or experience signal loss if it even works at all.

How long can you run a DMX signal? ›

As mentioned above ESTA states 300m(1000ft) is acceptable for DMX over CAT5 cable. However, ETC supports DMX over CAT5 with maximum total wire length per run of 500m(1640ft). Cat5 or equivalent is not preferred as a portable cable since it is not as rugged as other DMX cables.

Can you mix wired and wireless DMX? ›

Can wireless DMX and wired DMX be used at the same time? The short answer is YES! The longer answer involves using our free RC4 Commander software found at here. Using this tool, you can select the DMX data source for each device in your system whether on RC4 Data (wireless), or DMX In (wired miniplug port).

What are the benefits of using DMX? ›

Benefits of DMX systems

Energy efficient: The DMX system functions on low voltage, making it an energy efficient option. Ease of use: The DMX system communicates via digital signals. A large number of light fixtures can be easily controlled using a laptop.

How many lights can DMX control? ›

DMX is sometimes referred to as DMX 512, as a DMX system can be used to control up to 512 different channels in a setup. Let's put it this way: each color of an RGB requires 1 DMX channel. RBGW requires 4 channels, so the result is that a DMX Universe can fully control 128 RGBW fixtures (512/4=128).

Is A DMX analog or digital? ›

DMX is an acronym for Digital Multiplex.

It is the standard digital communication protocol that is used to remotely control intelligent lighting fixtures.

How do you delete presets in Wolfmix? ›

Preset deletes by clearing the name. Live edits clearing by highlight the fixture that has a dot and pressing the first encoder to clear or turn to choose all. Then clear the name.

Is A DMX the same as an XLR? ›

DMX has a higher impedance than XLR. An XLR cable uses a different signal than DMX is built to handle. There are some instances where you can use them interchangeably, but again, it's not advised or recommended. Here are some of the complications you can expect if you try to use XLR for DMX and DMX for XLR.

What does the DMX stand for in DMX cable? ›

DMX is an acronym for Digital Multiplex.

It is the standard digital communication protocol that is used to remotely control intelligent lighting fixtures.

What is the difference between Dali and DMX controllers? ›

DMX offers greater scalability with its ability to control up to 512 channels per universe and the option to link multiple universes. DALI, while less scalable, can still control up to 64 devices in a single system, which is sufficient for most commercial and residential applications.
