Notice:

 Be sure to follow figures two and three when making your 

own cables. 

Special Note: Line Termination.

  

When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a ter-

minator  on  the  last  unit  to  avoid  erratic  behavior.  A  terminator 

is  a  90-120  ohm  1/4  watt  resistor  which  is  connected  between 

pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This 

unit is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last unit in your 

daisy chain to terminate the line.  Using a cable terminator will 

decrease the possibilities of erratic behavior.
