DMX Decoder-Studio 6 Channel-6A per Channel Manual 
DMX-6-22K-3-6A / DMX-6-22K-5-6A 

The StudioPro 6 Channel DMX Decoders are high-capacity decoders that accommodate up to 6 output channels of LED lighting. Each 

decoder is equipped with 3-pin or 5-pin XLR DMX outputs. Each decoder takes the DMX output from any standard DMX console or 

controller, and decodes the signal so you can drive up to 6 channels of LEDs, such as 6-in-1 ColorPlus LED Strip Light

 

or two separate 

runs of RGB. The switchable PWM frequency up to 22.5 kHz helps prevent flicker on high speed cameras and avoid possible 

interference with audio recording equipment

. It is compatible with both 12 and 24 VDC LED lighting.
