Be sure to follow the above figure when making your own cables. Do not use the ground lug
on the XLR connector. Do not connect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or allow
the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding the shield
could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.
DMX-512 control connection
Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller a nd the
other side to the male 3-pin XLR input of the moving head (Please refer to the diagram
below.). You can chain multiple moving heads together through serial linking. The cable that
should be used is two conductor, shielded DMX cable with XLR input and output connectors.
Remember to daisy chain your “in” and “out” data connections, never split or “Y” your DMX
connections unless you are using an approved DMX splitter such as the Elation Opto Branch
4™ or DMX Branch/4™.
