Dimmer Equipment Connection
Connecting the MC 7000 Series Lighting Console to Leviton-NSI dimming equipment is very simple.
You need only connect a single 3 conductor audio cable (standard microphone cable equipped with a 3-
pin XLR type connector) to either of the jacks marked MICROPLEX on the rear apron of the console. It
doesn’t matter which jack is used, two jacks are provided for convenience. Connect the other end of the
cable to the Leviton-NSI dimming equipment.
If the console is equipped with the DMX512 option, connection to the dimming equipment is provided
through the 5-pin XLR type connector located on the rear apron of the console. This connector adheres
to the USITT standard on DMX512 and will support up to 32 (16) dimmer channels with one 3-wire
cable. Since remote power is not provided on this connector, the power supply included with the DMX512
option must be used.
