SIGNAL CONNECTIONS
Output signal connectors for the LMX-128 and DMX-512 protocols are provided along the rear edge of the unit.
MIDI connections are also located along the rear edge. Three wire shielded microphone type cable may be used
for the LMX-128 signal. Connections for DMX-512 are via the 5 pin female XLR connector. DMX requires a high
grade, low capacitance cable ( 25pf per foot or less). DMX control cable systems should be terminated by a 130
Ohm, 1/4 watt resistor at the last device on the DMX chain. The terminator connects between pins 2 and 3 on a
DMX bus.
