8. DMX Connection
Use of XLR microphone cables may cause interferences in the DMX signal transmission. In this
case, please use special DMX high-frequency cables.
a) Connection of a DMX Controller
Only connect the device to a DMX controller with a DMX-512 protocol.
Connect the DMX IN input to the DMX controller output.
Use a screened XLR cable for this. The controller must have 2 free control channels.
Connect the DMX OUT output to the DMX input of the next device in sequence. If the effect light is the last or only
device in the DMX chain, insert a plug with a 120 Ohm/0.25 W terminator here (between Pin2 and Pin3).
Pin assignment of the DMX connection: Pin1 = earth / Pin2 = (-) / Pin3 = (+).
Never connect the earth pin GND to the casing earth of the effect light; this may result in interference in signal
transmission caused by ground loops.
