Ape Labs W-App Description
The Ape Labs W-App is your all-in-one DMX solution, engineered for seamless wireless lighting control using the free Ape Labs mobile app. Designed for DJs, mobile entertainers, and stage lighting professionals, this Bluetooth-based dongle connects with your iOS or Android device and communicates with Ape Labs fixtures over a 2.4GHz wireless signal.
Whether you're using it as a DMX transmitter for your controller, a wireless receiver for non-Ape Labs lights, or simply as an app interface, the W-App delivers maximum flexibility. Its built-in battery ensures 50 hours of wireless performance, making it ideal for long events. You can wirelessly address lights, update firmware, adjust brightness, create custom color palettes, and more—all from the app.
The device supports group control with the ability to manage one, two, three, or all four lighting groups simultaneously. For sound-reactive shows, you can use the W-App as a centralized microphone or allow each fixture to operate using its own mic. With support for transmitting up to four DMX universes using four W-App transceivers, scalability and creative freedom are at your fingertips.
