If you are using the standard DMX controllers, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly with the
DMX input of the first fixture in the DMX chain. If you wish to connect DMX controllers with other XLR-outputs,
you need to use adapter cables.
Building a serial DMX-chain:
Connect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next fixture. Always
connect one output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120
Ω
resistor be -
tween Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin (5-pin) XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.
