CABLE CONNECTORS
Cabling must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on
the other end.
DMX connector configuration
caution:Do not allow contact between the ground and the fixture's chassis ground. Grounding the
ground can cause a ground loop, and your fixture may perform erratically. Test cables with an ohm
meter to verify positive pole and to make sure the pins are not grounded or shorted to the shield or
each other.

Note! If you use a controller with a 5 pin DMX output connector, you need to use a 5 pin
to 3 pin adapter. The chart below details a proper cable conversion:
