Xlr Choice : 3 Or 5 Pins - Intelligent USB-DMX interface Hardware Manual

Hardware
The "DMX" norm imposes 5-pin XLR but the use of 3-pin XLR is very widespread because of their cost.
Our interfaces are available either in 3-pin or 5-pin. You can change the XLR connector if you want. To
do so, there are 4 resistors that must be removed or not. See the table below:
RSC (R5) 0 ohms
XLR Female 3 pins
XLR Female 5 pins YES
XLR Male 3 pins
XLR Male 5 pins
Caution:
You can not transform a "DMX OUT" interface in a "DMX IN" interface (or vice-versa) just by replacing
the XLR connector.
