Machine Connection
Cables must have a male XLR connector on one end and a
female XLR connector on the other end.
A word on termination: DMX is a resilient communication pro-
tocol, however errors still occasionally occur. Termination re-
duces signal errors, and therefore best practices include use of
a terminator in all circumstances. If you are experiencing prob-
lems with erratic fixture behavior, especially over long signal
cable runs, a terminator may help improve performance.
To build your own DMX Terminator: Obtain a 120-ohm, 1/4-
watt resistor, and wire it between pins 2&3 of the last fixture.
They are also readily available from specialty retailers.
Complimentary signal cable can transmits signals to
20 unit fixtures at most. Signal amplifier is a must to
connect more fixtures
