8 Plug and connection assignment
This chapter will help you select the right cables and plugs to connect your valuable equip‐
ment so that a perfect light experience is guaranteed.
Please take our tips, because especially in ‘Sound & Light’ caution is indicated: Even if a plug
ts into a socket, the result of an incorrect connection may be a destroyed DMX controller, a
short circuit or ‘just’ a not working light show!
Three- and ve-pin XLR sockets serve as DMX outputs, a three- or ve-pin XLR connector
(optionally) serves as DMX input. The gure below and the table show the pin assignment.
