Constructing Terminators
DMX-512 protocol recommends terminating resistors be used on the last
fixture on the link. You will need the following items to construct a
terminator:
• Male 3-pin XLR connector
• 120 Ω resistor (¼ watt minimum)
To construct a terminator, complete the following procedure:
1. Disassemble the male XLR connector.
2. Solder a 120 Ω resistor between pins 2 and 3. Refer to Figure 1.5.
3. Reassemble the XLR connector.
Fixture Mounting
Studio Spot may be mounted on the upright on a floor or at any angle on a
truss. Complete the instructions in the following subsections to mount the

the base of the fixture and place it upright on a flat surface. Refer to Figure
1.6.
Caution: do not mount a fixture on the floor without the rubber feet installed.
