DMX Mode In DMX mode, the unit is controlled by the data it receives on the 5-pin XLR or RJ45 (ARC) connectors located on the rear panel. The number of DMX channels required to control the fixture is dependent on the factory setting in use.

DMX Address: To change the DMX address, press MENU until “CHANGE DMX ADDRESS?” appears on the LCD, and press OK. Select the desired DMX address using keys, and press OK.

DMX Mode Universe1 or Universe2 The Miro Cube can be controlled via two unique DMX universes. DMX can be input on pins 2&3 (Universe1) or pins 4&5 (Universe2) via the 5 pin XLR connectors on the rear panel. This allows two complete universes of DMX to be transmitted on a single cable.

Color Wash Mode Color wash is only available in Miro Cube 4C & 4CA. In Color Wash mode, the Miro Cube automatically cycles through its entire saturated color spectrum by modulating the intensity of the red, green, and blue LEDs. There are two user settings that can be adjusted in Color Wash mode.
Page 25
Color Wash Mode Wash Timer The wash timer determines how long it takes for the Miro Cube to complete an entire color cycle, and, by extension, the rate at which the colors change. Choose a short time for a rapid wash or a longer time for a slower wash.
Page 26
Use the WASH OFFSET function to control the interaction between multiple Miro Cubes in a Color Wash chain. The Wash O set determines the length of delay between each light, or how long it takes to “pass” a color from one light to the next. Set the Wash O set to “0” and the lights will color wash in unison, displaying the same color at the same time.
Serial Mode In Serial mode, the unit is controlled by the serial data it receives on the XLR connector located on the rear panel or via CubeConnect®. If your unit does not have Serial Mode you will need to enable it by entering FACTORY SETUP using the MENU button.
Beam Angles The beam angle can be easily adjusted using a spread lens. Using a Miro Cube without a spread lens will create a 12° beam angle. WARNING: DISCONNECT THE POWER CABLE BEFORE REMOVING THUMBSCREWS. none 20˚ 40˚ 60˚...
Beam Angles To change the spread lens, unscrew the thumbscrews from the front panel and remove the acrylic panel. Replace the existing spread lens with the lens of your choice. Place the acrylic panel on top and secure it with four thumbscrews. Custom spread lenses are available upon request.
Mounting WARNING: DISCONNECT THE POWER CABLE BEFORE MAKING ANY CONFIGURATION ADJUSTMENTS. Linear Arrays: The Miro Cube can be used as a single fixture or in multi-fixture arrays. NOTE: ADDITIONAL YOKES AND THREADED ROD ARE REQUIRED. To connect multiple fixtures, remove the threaded rod by unscrewing one of the side knobs and using the other to pull the rod out.

Safety Cables Single Miro Cubes as well as arrays can be suspended from truss or other major support structures using 3rd party clamping devices. When used in suspended applications, a safety cable (provided by others) is recommended as a positive retaining means between the main support structure and each Miro Cube using the “safety cable hole.”...
