3.2. DMX connections
To make a DMX512 connection go ahead like it is described in the picture. Make sure that you use
shielded cable. 3-pin or 5-pin XLR cables are suitable.
If you use a controller with 5-pin DMX output, you need to use a 5-pin to 3-pin adapter.
3.3. DMX connection with terminator
Where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or the equipment is operated in an electrically noisy
environment like a disco for installations, we recommend using a DMX terminator. This prevents
corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is an XLR connector
with a 120
Ω resistor between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output socket of the
last device in the series. Please look to the bottom drawings.
