ATA CONNECTION
This section describes how to connect fixtures to each other, or to a
controller.
R E C O M M E N D E D C A B L E
A reliable data connection requires suitable cable. Standard microphone
cable cannot transmit DMX data reliably over long runs. For best results,
use cable specifically designed for RS-485 applications. Your Martin
dealer can supply suitable high-quality cable in various lengths.
C O N N E C T I O N S
The Wizard Extreme’s XLR data sockets are wired with pin 1 to ground,
pin 2 to signal - (cold), and pin 3 to (hot). This is compatible with
the standard for DMX devices.
One or more adaptor cables may be required to connect the Wizard
Extreme to the controller and/or other lights because many devices have
5-pin connectors and others may have reversed signal polarity, that is, pin
2 hot and pin 3 cold.
