Plug and connection assignment DMX connections A five-pin XLR socket serves as DMX output, a five-pin XLR plug serves as DMX input. The drawing below and the table show the pin assignment of a matching coupling. Assignment Ground (shielding) Signal inverted (DMX–, ‘cold’) Signal (DMX+, ‘hot’) unused / second connection (DMX–) unused / second connection (DMX+)
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting NOTICE! Possible data transmission errors For error-free operation make use of dedicated DMX cables and do not use ordi‐ nary microphone cables. Never connect the DMX input or output to audio devices such as mixers or ampli‐ fiers. In the following we list a few common problems that may occur during operation.
