CABLE CONNECTORS
Cabling must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on the other end.
DMX connector configuration
Termination reduces signal errors. To avoid signal transmission problems and interference, it is always advisable to
connect a DMX signal terminator.
CAUTION
Do not allow contact between the common and the fixture's chassis ground. Grounding the common can cause a
ground loop, and your fixture may perform erratically. Test cables with an ohm meter to check correct polarity and
to make sure the pins are not grounded or shorted to the shield or each other.
3-PIN TO 5-PIN CONVERSION CHART
Note! If you use a controller with a 5-pin DMX output connector, you will need to use a 5-pin to 3-pin adapter.
The chart below details a proper cable conversion:
