4.2. DMX connections
To make a DMX512 connection go ahead like it is described in the picture. Make sure that you use
shielded cable. 3pole or 5pole XLR cables are suitable. If you use a controller with a 5 pin DMX output
connector, you will need to use a 5pin to 3 pin adapter.
4.3. 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 simply 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.
