Plug and connection assignments

This chapter will help you select the right cables and plugs to connect your valuable equip‐

ment so that a perfect light experience is guaranteed.
Please take our tips, because especially in ‘Sound & Light’ caution is indicated: Even if a plug

fits into a socket, the result of an incorrect connection may be a destroyed DMX controller, a

short circuit or ‘just’ a not working light show!

The unit offers a 3-pin XLR socket for DMX output and a 3-pin XLR plug for DMX input. Please

refer to the drawing and table below for the pin assignment of a suitable XLR plug.
