DMX Cables
Shielded twisted-pair cables with 3-pin/5-pin XLR connectors must be used for reliable DMX connection.
You can purchase DMX cables directly from your Highlite International dealer or make your own cables.
If you use XLR audio cables for DMX data transmission, this may lead to signal degradation and unreliable
operation of the DMX network.
When you make your own DMX cables, make sure that you connect the pins and wires correctly as
shown in Fig. 10.

Master/Slave Setup
The Spectral M3000 Zoom Q4 MKII IP65 supports master/slave control mode. To connect multiple devices
in a master/slave setup, follow the steps below:
Connect the first device’s DMX OUT connector to the second device’s DMX IN connector with a
3-pin/5-pin DMX cable. The first connected device in the setup will be automatically recognized as
the master device.
Repeat step 1 to connect all devices as shown in Fig. 11.
Set all subsequent devices in the setup as slave devices. See 6.6.3 Run Mode on page 25 for more
information.
Connect a DMX terminator (120 Ω resistor) to the DMX OUT connector of the last device in the setup.
