at 120 ohms, this cable is designed for DMX transmission and may be purchased from your
Elation dealer or at most professional lighting retailers. Your cables should be made with a
male and female XLR connector on either end of the cable. Also, remember that a DMX line
must be daisy chained and cannot be split, unless using an approved DMX splitter
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 an XLR cable to the female XLR output of your controller and the other side to the
male XLR input of the fixture (Please refer to the diagram below.). You can chain multiple
moving heads together through serial linking. Remember to daisy-chain the “in” and “out”
data connections.
