Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the other side to
the male 3-pin XLR input of the moving head. You can chain multiple
Moving head together through serial linking. The cable needed should be two core, screened cable with
XLR input and output connectors. Please refer to the diagram below.
DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically noisy
environment, such as in a discotheque, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator. This helps in
preventing corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an
XLR plug with a 120 Ω resistor connected between pins 2 and 3,which is then plugged into the output
XLR socket of the last fixture in the chain. Please see illustrations below.
