Setup
The required connections depend on the operation mode of the device.
Notice
Malfunction or damage to equipment!
For failure-free operation of the DMX chain, use dedicated DMX cables. Never use ordinary microphone ca-
bles.
Never connect the DMX output to audio devices such as mixers or amplifiers. The voltages used on the DMX
lines may severely damage the audio input circuits.
Connections in DMX mode
Connect the DMX input of the device to the DMX output socket of a DMX controller or another DMX device.
Connect the output of the first DMX device to the input of the second one, and so on to form a daisy chain.
Always ensure that the output of the last DMX device in the daisy chain is terminated with a 120-Ω resistor.
When the device and the DMX controller are operational, the DMX indicator in the display shows that a DMX
signal is being received on the input.
Connections in master/slave mode
When you a group of devices in master/slave mode, the first unit will control the other units for an automatic,
sound-activated, synchronized light show. This function is ideal when you want to start a show immediately.
Connect the DMX output of the master device to the DMX input of the first slave device. Then connect the
DMX output of the first slave device to the DMX input of the second slave device and so on.
DMX connectors
A female 3-pin XLR connector is used for the DMX output, a male 3-pin XLR connector for the DMX input. The
figure below and the following table show the pin assignment.
