Sound Active Mode:
In this mode the Globe Color will react to sound, changing and fading
through the different colors.
Note: There must be no DMX signal
present for Sound Active to work.
1. Plug the fixture in and the fixture will now change via sound.
Master-Slave Operation:
This function will allows you to link units together to run in a Master-
Slave mode. In Master-Slave operation one unit will act as the con-
trolling unit and the others will react to the controlling unit. Any unit
can act as a Master or as a Slave however, but only one unit can act
as the “Master.”
1. Start by daisy chaining the Globes together. Attached to each
Globe is a Male 3-pin connector and a Female 3-pin connector.
Use the attached 3-pin cables to link your units together. Re-
member that the Male 3-pin connector is the input and the Fe-
male 3-pin connector is the output. The first unit in the chain will
use the female 3-pin connector. The last unit in the chain will
use the male 3-pin connector.
2. The Slave units will now follow the Master unit in a Sound Active
mode.
DMX Mode:
This function allows you to use a universal DMX-
512
controller
(we
recommend using the Elation DMX Operator™ or Elation Show
Designer™)
to control the various DMX traits. A DMX control-
ler allows you to create unique programs tailored to your individual
needs.
1. This function will allow you to control each individual fixture’s
traits with a standard DMX 512 controller such as the
Elation
®
Show Designer™ or the Elation
®
DMX Operator.™
2.
EACh
Globe Color uses four DMX channels to operate. Please
see the next page for the DMX traits.
3. To run your fixture in DMX mode, plug in the fixture via the XLR
connections to any standard DMX controller. Follow the set-up
specifications that come with your DMX controller.
4. Start by daisy chaining the Globes together. Attached to each
Globe is a Male 3-pin connector and a Female 3-pin connector.
Use the attached 3-pin cables to link your units together. Re-

member that the Male 3-pin connector is the input and the Fe-
male 3-pin connector is the output.
5. Use your DMX Controller to set the starting DMX address for the
first Globe in the line. See examples below to set the starting DMX
address.
6. Once you have set the address, press and hold the red button on
the first fixture until the Globes flash, then release the button. You
need to only press the red button located on the fixture connected
to the controller. The Globes that are daisy chained will be auto-
matically addressed.
NOTE: Make sure Blackout is off, or the fixtures will not respond
to the addressing.
EXAMPLE: If you want the starting address to be 19 set the cor-
responding channel, Channel 19 to the value 255. Press and hold
the red button of the first Globe, until the Globes flash, then
release the button.
EXAMPLE: If you are using a Elation DMX Operator and you want
to set the DMX starting address as 17, press Fixture button 2,
then set channel 1 to value 255. Now press and hold the Red but-
ton on the first Globe in line until all the Globes flash, release the
button. Now all Globes will respond to DMX control.
EXAMPLE: If you are using a Elation Show Designer and you
want to set the DMX starting address as 19, press Bank button 3,
then set channel 3 to value 255. Now press and hold the Red but-
ton on the first Globe in line until all the Globes flash, release the
button. Now all Globes will respond to DMX control.
DMX Master/Slave Configuration:
If you want Master/Slave DMX
configuration, you will have to set the DMX address for the first Globe
in line, and then after setting the address you must go through and
press and hold the Red buttons of all the Globes in your configura-
tion, starting with the first Globe in line.
NOTE: When using a DMX controller other then American DJ or
Elation please consult the user manual for their DMX controller
or contact their customer service.
